• Sony Doubts OnLive Approach – Sony wonders how multiple users in the same household will be able to play games on average home broadband connections.
• Sony trademarks ‘PS Cloud’ – My take is it has nothing to do with competing with OnLive's streaming gaming service. It's merely a cloud data storage repository.
