So I finished watching the PS4 press conference,and its all great,but I saw the Xperia Z mentioned trought and they said something about streaming ps1,2,3 games across the vita,tablets and phones. Now,I remember when I got my Xperia Play,Playstation certified was this big thing they overhyped where you were supposed to get playstation games and now its just a half-baked store nobody uses. Now,the technology exists,I've played pc games over OnLive with no lag on my 2 year old phone. I persionally think sony is gonna push playstation games to be streamed and downloaded on certified devices(legit store with lots of games),but they make a lot of promises they cant fulfil.
Anyways let me know what you think...I need a break from these trolls and 10 posts a day about HTC

Sv: Opinion on the playstation certified ecosystem

Never used the option on my 1 year old Xperia S. Saw a few games in a app hopeless in age but the price was in the very high end so no reason to start that adventure.

Never really used it since FPSE is doing wonders... It's nice to have it, but I have to try it out more - hopefully they'll integrate it with PS3's Playstation Network, add trophies and more games. Maybe PSP games, but I wouldn't count on it.

Playstation cert is just markrting.
I have few games which is awesome on grpahics side, but gameplay is like kid 5 years old made it.
I will never buy any game from PSM store.

Also they said that playstation phones will come somehow hybrid android, which could reboot or switch to playstation VITA rom, (like psvita, and that could make games compatibile to any ps phone) but no, sony didnt do anything.
Ps phone is just markrting and is a bull s, you know what i mean :)

I'm pretty sure that was a fan made-up rumour...

Anyway, I agree, Playstation certificate is a wasted potential. PSX emulators can do MUCH more than Sony's official PS app. Ok, i understand, you need to have the original PSX and games to be able to legally use emulators - but hey, who doesn't keep his old PSX on a silk pillow right ? ;) I certainly do!

So about the PSN app...they really need to put more work into it. Come on Sony, you have thousands of games ready to enchance your smartphones, use it! If third-party emulators can flawlessly run each PSX games, you certainly can as well.
