what's going on everyone in Traverse consumer and as most of the tech world knows CES 2014 is happening right now in Las Vegas and one of the announcements that stood out to me was of course Sony's announcement of PlayStation now and you guys know I love my Playstations and PS Vita and all that good stuff so the PlayStation now was announced and I was very excited for those of you who haven't heard about it yet it's all over social media tons of people are talking about it on Twitter even a couple of other youtubers and it's actually a pretty cool service that reserves the kind of buzz that it's getting right now and for those of you who don't know what PlayStation now is it's basically a gaming cloud service that all stream games to your PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 PS Vita all kinds of devices and Sony even has it lined up to be on 2014 models of the sony bravia televisions as well as tablets and smartphones in the future so sony has a lot of plans for getting the streaming service on to a ton of devices and they're even saying that it's not going to be limited to playstation devices or Sony devices so that's gonna be really cool to be able to pick that up and you know play a game on a tablet or a TV that doesn't have anything to do with Sony so it's gonna be pretty interesting to see that in action the streaming service is going to start off with PlayStation 3 titles like The Last of Us which they demoed over at CES and it seems like it's going to run fairly well depending on your internet connection of course I still have a ton of questions about how this is going to perform for the average consumer who might not have a really fast internet connection and actually unbox therapy had a chance to talk to one of the Sony representatives on his channel and he was able to find out that you need at least 5 megabits down I was very surprised to hear that you're only gonna need 5 megabits down I think that's really great I think that most tablets and smartphones that have data services will definitely be able to handle that I'm not too sure how it's gonna function with the PlayStation Vita with 3G I'm pretty sure it's gonna get the same treatment that the Remote Play feature has where you're actually gonna have to be on Wi-Fi but I don't think 5 megabits down is too much to ask for so I'm pretty sure that most people will be able to take advantage of this and get some decent performance at least so like I did mention it's going to be coming out for the PlayStation 3 Playstation 4 and the PS at first and then we'll come to sony bravia television to the 2014 models and then we'll see how it rolls out with other smartphone devices and tablet devices and the beta is gonna be starting at the end of January and we'll actually see this rollout to everyone and around the summer time so we've got a little bit to wait and I'm really interested in seeing how this is going to pan out there are still a ton of questions about the service that I would like to know about such as the cost what the cost of games are gonna be since it's all going to be cloud-based I don't know if you'll own it digitally with your PlayStation account and if those games can actually be purchased on your Sony devices I'm not sure how that all is going to work but I'm gonna be interested in finding out I'd also like to know if older devices are going to be able to work with this as long as the hardware is decent so if you've got like a Galaxy Note 3 will this eventually come to something that can support those features or are they only going to be rolled out on future devices so these are all just little questions that I have but it's gonna be interesting nonetheless I'm definitely going to get on it when it comes out but let me know what you guys think of PlayStation now if it's a feature that you're interested in is it something that you would sign up for do you have a good enough connection to take advantage of this service let me know
