I think the <a href="http://thegamejunction.blogspot.com/2008/02/game-industry-giants-form-pc-gaming.html" rel="nofollow">concept WildTanget came up with, Orb</a>, is similiar to this but offers a better overall platform for gaming. It will also be interesting to see how these companies plan on dealing with internet bandwidth issues for games that are more graphic intensive such as the ones Redh3lix mentions.

What!? Is it possible to produce games such as Call of Duty 4, Burnout Paradise, Crysis etc to the same quality using Flash!! Sorry, I'm confused. Flash games are fun to play (some), and offered through the TV I'm sure it will provide an excellent service etc, it's just the "replace console and PC gaming" bit that I find amazing.
