[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]

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.
