PS3 to allow PC games to run on it

A new free-to-join website will allow PC games to be played on a PlayStation 3 console, the CEO behind the new venture is claiming.

Richard Faria from www.streammygame.com states his site will revolutionise the gaming industry by providing members with a free plug-in that converts games into IPTV channels called Game Streams.

The site will enable games to be played remotely by sending it over a home network to a laptop or a second PC, and the firm claims the receiving machine will play the game "without any lag and it does not need to have the game installed".

"We are embarking on a new paradigm in the gaming industry fuelled by advances in computer hardware, network speeds and the want of gamers to have more freedom," said Richard Faria CEO. "We network the power of their main PC so it can be used to play high end games on other PCs and laptops around the home. I believe the demand for high resolutions will drive the sales of high end PC hardware.

"We will release a Linux version in Q4 2007 which will enable PC games to be played on the PlayStation 3 and many other devices including DVD players, set top boxes, networked media devices and mobile phones."

Currently compatible with Windows XP and Vista, the firm claims it will work with all games based on Microsoft's DirectX8, 9 and 10, including new releases such as FIFA 08 and BioShock.

cuz i no my ps3 isnt capable of its pretty old but one ? how can they make this because isnt there copyright laws stating that like microsoft games are only for microsoft and that if they make this then it would enable the hard money they spent on a certain product and not make it so pointful ehh its hard to explain

ricky your being a total prick again...mass effect is not being hyped up atall..and if it is, it's for good reason. oh wait..it's another title that ps3 doesn't have and is much better than any of the ps3 games out right now!..
