hat-tip to an acquaintance of mine named "Make"

This is exciting...that I might be able to play Playstation games on my computer! Maybe I'll finally get to play Wild ARMs 4, which I've said I want to play for the last 11 years or so?

...but unfortunately I wonder if it's streaming. It says it requires a 5 Mbps connection, preferably wired...you don't do that with an locally-installed game, even if it's run through an emulator. (Does always-online DRM need a connection this thick?)

(My own connection is like 3.6 Mbps download, and certainly not wired...)

Edit: Yes, it is streaming. Or, as Wikipedia calls it, "cloud-based". Seems like it only has PS3 games so far though. And no Wild ARMs anything.
