The future of video games, that is. Once it gets going, at decent connection latencies, this will eliminate game piracy, the need to upgrade your machine every 2 years, the need to physically own a game to be able to play it and so on.

^Latency will be a crippling issue for most people for a while yet, I think. Maybe forever for some. Can't get around the old speed of light.

Maybe for high skill FPS the latency would be noticeable. But at a certain point you would have to choose between photo realistic games with a latency of 25-50ms (if it works out well) or worse looking games on your own computer.
