[quote]Samsung and Sony have struck a deal to bring the latter's PlayStation Now game streaming service to select Samsung Smart TV models in 2015. Jointly announced this morning, the partnership makes Samsung the first PS Now licensee and is notable for making it possible to play PlayStation games on non-Sony devices. There's no need for a console to stream from, either: you just open up an app and play the game directly over the internet.
PlayStation Now is still in its infancy, having been announced at CES 2014 almost a year ago, but its goal has always been to distribute the Sony gaming experience to the widest audience possible. With Samsung dominating the global TV market, it only makes sense for Sony to embed itself in the Smart Hub software shipping out with all of the Korean company's latest televisions.[/quote]

I do not support Korean companies like Samsung. Don't care if they are in the South. Concept is a good idea though.
-
wait what? number one, why not on sony TVs first? numbah 2,it's good business sense but it is strange for them to work together like that because A) they're rivals B)the japanese are really xenophobic and racist against koreans.

Why does a TV have an app -_-
-
That's actually really cool. Hopefully they fix PSNow's lag issues first.
-
Where is the I don't care option?

Playstation now is a next level of garbage

Hmm, makes you think if Sony goes out of business. Will Samsung be the one to buy Play Station? [spoiler]heh, I might actually buy a PS4 then.[/spoiler]

It's a cool idea but I don't know how well it will translate in North America. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Interesting. We'll see how Microsoft handles it.
