A website has announced the release of a free download that allows any PC game to be played on a PlayStation 3 console.
StreamMyGame.com allows PC games to be played on a PS3 by sending it over a home network to a second computer - or a PS3. It can then be played using the free StreamMyGame player.
"Playing the latest PC game on the PS3 is now a reality at HD resolution and fast frame-rates," said Richard Faria, CEO. "I have a PS3 in my living room and PC in my office and my two kids both have old PCs in their bedrooms," he said. "Now we can play games anywhere around the home. StreamMyGame's technology networks the power of a main PC so it can be used to play high end games on other PCs, PS3s and Linux devices".
The StreamMyGame Player is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Linux with resolutions up to Super HDTV 3200 x 2400. Compatible Linux installations include Ubuntu and Yellow Dog Linux, recommended by Sony for the PS3.
