From what I can understand so far it's nothing more than just streaming the video and audio to the PS3. You're not playing the game on the console, you're just using it as an intermediate.
So it's not "EVE on your PS3", it's "VIDEO+AUDIO on your PS3".

no m8 i just watched him play Crysis on his ps3 on a LCD streamed via his PC to his Ps3.
edit
the video i was talking about, he sets it up ( 10 mins ) then plays, begs the question why tho.

Is there any point to this?
From what I've seen and read, it... moves the audio and video from one of your home devices to another home device. The same machine's hardware is running the game regardless.
If it was their ubercomputer running the game and THEN streaming the video and audio to you (as well as giving you control over the game), that would kick ass, because people with mediocre computers would be able to play games that you could normally only play on a badass computer by simply receiving the audio and video.
As it is... I'm not seeing what's so great about this.

Alternatively: Connect your PC up to a television. Or sit further away from your monitor.

I think the main purpose is that its wireless. Its a good thing IF you have a PS3 and a wifi connected PC and IF you want to play games on your TV, but its certainly not a reason to run out and buy a PS3.

From what I've read about the service he's using to stream the games to his PS3, the same would work with a cheap PC set up by your TV.

Yeh pretty much anything that can run the streaming client. Its just that people that have bought ps3's want to do something usefull with them.

It's interesting, and, in our house potentially useful.
I CAT-6 wired it last year, and got a PS3, so from what I understand I could use the PS3 in my living room to check into eve and change a skill, without having to go up to my home office where the PC is. If my network is fast enough (switched and vlaned gb) I could even do a mission or two.
I get to do this in the same room as the wife while she watches Eastenders or similar.
CCP this is not the nerf you are looking for...

On a related note, the PS3 can run Linux, yes? EVE has a Linux client, yes? So you should be able to play EVE on your PS3 using the PS3 hardware. Anyone tried that?

dont have a ps3 to try, but i doubt very much even the original client would work.
first, the p3s has what? 256MB main memory and 256MB GDDR3 video memory. second the cell processor is more designed for multifunction, not one huge cpu (which eve uses a lot of) and one huge gpu (which eve premium uses a lot of). the cell run at what? 3.2GHz or somewhere near that. third emulations of any type reduce your overall performance hugely.
it would be interesting to see how many errors come up and how slow it ran if it did at all.

So someone has figured out how to use thier ps3 to virtually play a game on thier hdtv when they could have just as easily hooked up thier pc to achive the same thing only in a higher res and framerates. Yes the nerds of the world have truely run out of things to do it seems.

The internet is full of useless technology. The other day I ran across a Windows XP emulator, but what was funny is that it only worked on Windows XP. I was really confused about its purpose until I realized that these nerds were discussing on how to get the emulator to run on other platforms. That must have been a fun discovery for them...

its funny you know, when you think about it, a risc version of xp would be handy, the x86 set was always crap and the compilers even worse which left us all with very inefficient code. add all the 'easy' ways to save programming time sacrificing speed and you end up with needing a supercomputer to play doom, and more to play eve.
i always was amazed with what they pushed out of a geforce3 in the xbox because of the lower level,higher efficiency of programming and integrated hardware, but imagine what our current pc systems could do if given a true operating system with games that do not require 1000s of other unneeded crap running in background.

I think it's a little different than what you all have described.
Quote:
Members share their games by listing them on our website. This creates a Game Stream hypertext link. They use our website to allow other members to access this Game Stream link. By selecting this link a secure, authenticated connection with encryption is established between the member who has the game and the member who wants to play it. Our website starts the game and uses Streamer to intercept the games video and audio. Streamer converts the video and audio to a Game Stream.
The Game Stream can be recorded to a file, broadcast, transmitted over the home network and will soon be able to be sent over the internet and played on the remote computer. The encrypted keyboard commands from the remote computer are captured and transmitted back over the network and used to play the game.
This bi-directional stream of video, audio and encrypted control data is called a Game Stream.
It sounds like yes - if you have a computer upstairs, and one downstairs, you can play a game that is installed on the upstairs machine from the downstairs machine. From the sounds of it, you can also have a dedicated 'game streamer' for LAN parties - allowing people to play games that they don't own. ALSO - it appears they are going to allow people to host game streaming servers, and host games over the Internet. It would be interesting to see the copyright repercussions this may cause.

I beleive the EVE client needs an Intel. For instance the Mac version only works on an Intel based Mac.

Plus, the video on the PS3 is locked down, so the only thing people have been able to get to play is 2d sidescrollers.

Can you say bandwidth hog?
Seriously, how in the world can you expect to have a live stream at 1024x768 resolution ACROSS THE INTERNET!? Let's see... 1024x768 = 786432 pixels per frame * 32bpp = 25,165,824 bits per frame / 1024 = 24576 kilobaud (3072 KB/s) * 8 frames per second (the minimum speed of animation for the eye to produce an illusion of motion) = 196608 kilobaud (24576 KB/s) of throughput. That means you need 192 megabaud to host a SINGLE connection. That's 24 megabytes per second.
Let's put it this way: A single T1 line supplies you with 1.544 megabaud, T3 gives you 44.736, OC-1 gives you 51.84, OC-3 gives you 155.52, OC-12 gives you 622.08. OC-3 costs more than $500 a month. OC-12 costs more than $2000 a month (source: Linkage)
I must be missing something, because it seems like this idea is impossible over the internet. The most popular internet backbone, OC-192, would be able to handle no more than 51 of these "game streams", raw video only, at 1024x768 resolution, at a time. I suppose the other possibility would be to compress the video live, but that would require a ton of CPU power and I don't think you could compress it at 8 frames per second...
