They can't get around the latency issue, so that will always be there.

And resolution is always going to be crappy, or compression is always going to be a factor, until like Azure says everyone has 100Mbps connections like Japan does.

So people can either pay for a premium Internet connection and a subscription fee so they can play low rez choppy games, or they can buy a Wii.

Heh, yeah sounds like the Phantom all over again.
