Anybody hear of or try out the slingbox of video games?
I came across this device while reading Gamepro magazine and it'd definitely be in my wheel house since I'm rarely able to chill out at home and game.
This device is basically slingbox for your PS3 or 360 console -- it feeds the gaming session to a networked PC or laptop.
Has anybody tried this? I gotta imagine that lag would suck... but if that was under control it sounds awesome!

Based on the short video they showed - yes. You can stream it anywhere you have a broadband connection and to any PC or laptop that has the software d/l onto it.
This would be kick-ass if it really worked and you could game during your lunch hour from a laptop.

I dunno... I can barely tolerate playing a PS2 game on my PSP via the PS3 (lots of playstations involved there) on the same wired network. I'm sure they optimize for network traffic, but still seems like there would be significant lag.
