Cloud gaming service Gaikai has scored a big hit today, announcing a new partnership with electronics manufacturer LG to bring cloud gaming services to their digital TVs. The new partnership will put the service in all of LG’s Cinema 3D TVs starting in 2012.
“We care passionately about delivering the best content and most premium experiences possible for our valued customers,” said Taeg Il Cho, VP of TV Product Planning Group at LG Electronics. “The ability to have award winning games that run on much more powerful hardware in the cloud than today’s PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, made this a must-have feature for our televisions and future devices.”
“Thanks to the Internet, you can watch the latest movies and listen to the latest music practically anywhere,” said David Perry the CEO of Gaikai, “but until today, to play the biggest blockbuster video games, every household has had to buy and set up expensive video game console hardware. That’s all about to change and pioneers in the space can build direct digital relationships with their end consumers.”
Those wanting to try the new tech out can give it a whirl at CES, currently ongoing in Las Vegas.
