sony is planning something BIG...

http://www.eetimes.com/rss/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=199202196&cid=RSSfeed_eetimes_newsRSS

kuturagis vision was always to make a network based cpu he finally did it but teh network is not here yet

kuturagi is moving to the network side man imagine 5 years later microsoft releases xbox720 and sony stays with the ps3

they dont announce a new ps they unlock the 8th spe with a firmware update and announce a network where every ps3 in the world will be connected with eachother to a huge blade server for MASSIVE COMPUTER POWER...

we send cell power to the blade server and the blade  server send us game data back

and we will have something like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLte5f34ya8

imagine 20.000000 ps3 connected together OMG the possibilities....

The good news would be you would have a power console IF it was possible. There isn't the majority of people with a bandwidth that could handle this so it would be infeasible. The bad news is that what about the millions of other ps3 owners who don't have a broadband connection. How are they suppose to play the games that is meant for the super computer connections. They would be out of luck. higherARC

you really think 5/6 years later people will still using 65k modems ? 

They cannot push such an idea "assuming" everyone would have broadband. There is too many occasion where you could not have access. Internet crash and cannot play? No way. And people in remote place with still 56k access? what about if you are not home and don't have access?

I can maybe see that in like MMO where you pretty much need a good connection and everyone need internet access. For casual games. I don't see that coming, even in 10 years. It would reduce the consumers base way too much

Do you really think in 5/6 years and even later every human being in the world will even have 65k modems. Not that many people have access to the internet buddy. Welcome to the real world.

plg2307

Agree.

Technically I just do not see it being feasible.  So you are sitting at home and you want to play a game. A screen pops up and says, "Sorry, 4039 PS3s need to connect till you can play."

Again, the broadband connections available to us is not capable of transferring the data packets to and from the ps3 unless you want to play in 2fps. For game applications it's not feasible. I can go into the technicals since a buddy of mine works for a company that monitors the network inferastructure of the east coast but it would be a waste of time.

My example is along the lines of a game requiring all this additional CPU power to play.  How would something that required all this power to play be able to run on one PS3.

Bittorrent is for downloading files from across a network from multiple users, thus sharing the workload of the download. This, in and of itself, is not the same as sharing the CPU power require to run a game.  Thus, say a game required 5000 PS3s to be connected.  If only 4000 people were playing and on the network you would still need 1000 more.

So you have to get a good internet connection to have the full "fun" of the game? An programmer will make 2 games (downgraded version?)? one if you play alone and 1 if you play connected? and maybe others if oh! we have more than 2000 consoles! lets make the the game better! Oh now we have 10 000! even better! So we never have the full game? Like I said I see that possible "maybe" in MMO where you have always thousands of people connected and requires a connection to play. Otherwise I don't see that comming anywhere near.

Unless they want to alienate both developers because their job will be harder/more costy and gamers because we won't ever have the max we can get out of it and many people won't even be able to benefit out of it

Knucklehead0124

as if the amish has a playstation

you sound like i have a tv but no electricity

Another thing.. the video you posted has only one output. 3 PS3s to one output. If 10,000 people wanted to connect to a server for "massive power" as you say, then it it would have to be less than 10,000 players plaing.. because it would be 1 PS3 to every 1 person otherwise, which is what you are playing now.

oooooooooooooooo

READ MY POST MAN It's not a matter of getting a good connection, which by the way won't be able to transfer the data packets for this super computer, it's a matter of people affording a internet connection. This little world you live in on the internet is no representation of the REAL world. Out of the couple million of people who have a broadband connection, there's BILLIONS without one. It will always be like this unless the government enforces the citizens to install a broadband connection in their homes.

oh well if thats the case 

it was just a idea dont take it as a fact 

This may or may not be on topic, but this has been in the works for a long time 7+ years

i don't know how long it took the orignal internet to be brought up

but from what i remember internet2 is running a 1gb/sec

http://www.internet2.edu/network/

which may or may not be fast enough for this supposed theory to be implamented.

my thoughts as well 

i just think its funny how almost everyone on here, either is a game developer, works for Sony or Microsoft, or their brother's best friends sister's boyfriend's dad's brother monitors the entire Internet infrastructure on the east coast.cardiac_cat

It is easy, the internet is a series of tubes that Al Gore created. lol

story: you guys might have been too young to remember but in my time the world wasn't controled by ps3. We were able to do almost wat we wanted to do, up until Ken connected all those ps3 together and then it all started... million ppl die because of the plastation 3 and it's deadly sixaxis controler.

put the terminator theme song and there you have wat's gong to happen in a few years lol

Are you Sarah Connar?

Seriously Kutiragi is thinking it all out. Massive networking seems to be a great step forward, revolutionary, not what I expected. It could be like a rebirth of what video games are supposed to be.

But I'm still waiting for the Virtual Reality goggles and walk pad. :P

how about, mics. instead of stupid bluetooth. how about a better friendler interface like xboxs, so i can talk to my friends. i feel like im stil in beta with ps3. you can't even rent blue ray. the movie stores dont even carry those movies. geezzz there lacking huge.F1sTDaCuffS

1) I'd take Bluetooth any day of the week over proprietary headsets that have to be plugged into a controller. The problem isn't with the Bluetooth connection. It's PSN's implementation of Bluetooth headsets. Which I imagine should be greatly enhanced by the time Home rolls around (according to the Home trailer)

2) You can't rent BluRay? Blockbuster and Netflix both have large selections of BluRay movies. Where are you renting from? Podunk R Us?
