Play Any PC Game On The Playstation 3.

Play Any PC Game On The PS3, Wii, and 360.

Third-party software company, StreamMyGame, has launched a free application that "enables you to play any PC game via a PlayStation 3 running Linux."

As StreamMyGame explains: "The free StreamMyGame Server enables PC games to be played remotely by converting the game's video and audio into a Game Stream and sending it over a home network to a second computer where you can view and play the game with the free StreamMyGame Player."

Yes, that includes the latest PC games like Crysis, with resolutions up to 3200 x 2400 (more than your eyes can see, we reckon).

It's a universal trick too. "The second computer can be a PC, laptop, PS3 or Linux device," it says in the announcement - essentially extending your high-end PC gaming to any room in the house with a PS3 or PC. We wonder if the controls all work the same.

It's all streaming over a home network (not the internet), so there's no worry about lag or a loss of picture quality. "The game can be played on the second computer without any lag and the second computer does not need to have the game installed."

Says on the main website that it can be streamed to other consoles aswell, besides the PS3. Obviously those other consoles include the Wii and Xbox 360.

The program and service is free, but you can also upgrade to a premium membership if you want to unlock the other special features, like playing your favorite PC games on the TV at resolutions far superior than that of HDTV.

... of course.. One could always just take an S-Video cable and hook their CPU up to the TV monitor.

I myself don't mind playing my games on the PC either.. but being able to the play them through my 360 and on the TV would be even nicer. For one thing, I hate sitting in this chair, as it's very uncomfortable, as opposed to lying on the bed, or sitting on the couch.... so comfy... ^_^

I'm sitting on a couch either way. I guess it all just depends on what's more comfortable for you.

Or how big your TV is... :lol:

Id much rather play my PC games through my 32 Inch HDTV rather than my 22 Inch Monitor.

MY TV may be bigger than my PC monitor, but that's never mattered to me. I wouldn't want to sacrifice the free movement and more comfortable controls just so I can have a bigger view of it. But maybe then again..:shifty: :ninja: If I had a cool big monitor it'd be a differen't story.

Well, I would put it on my lap :lol:

I usually eat that way whenever I'm playing my games at the same time.
