Most people probably already know this but:

A UK based company called StreamMyGame.com makes software that is able to convert your PC game into an IP game stream which can be shared over the Web and played remotely on a range of devices. They say it turn PC games into an IP "game stream", which they claim:"enables users to post hypertext links to their games on the site, which can then be played remotely by other visitors to site who click on the links." Right now it only works with PC games running remotely through XP or Vista. The company says they will release a "We will release a Linux version in Q4 2007 which will enable PC games to be played on the PlayStation 3."

Quote: "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 of StreamMyGame. "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," he said.

StreamMyGame also offers its members the ability to record and broadcast gameplay and includes a free MP4 video player. "An easy solution to record your gameplay and upload it to the web has been demanded by gamers and StreamMyGame delivers that. Our YouTube ready MP4 format keeps file sizes low," said Joanna Softly, marketing manager of the company , "and broadcasting games at LAN parties so everyone can watch the final from the comfort of their own PC makes so much more sense than crowding around one monitor."

Yeah actually that can be true , we could play PC/x360 exclusive games on our ps3s , such as gears of war , bioshock ( maybe it comes for ps3 ) and lots of other exclusive games :D

Maybe ps3 can be our entertaining computer

Intresting. But doesn't this open doors for anything else though? Considering it's giving open direct access to your hard drive, and would it be run by ActiveX controls? Cause those are nasty..

it might work, with a game like diablo 2 or something like that. Better off just installing linux and wine.
