Re: as one of those unicorns

While cloud does has it place for some services, example if you are using an app, having your own infrastructure is a lot less cost. I estimated about 4-6 times less than running in the cloud. This is comparing a co-located rack in a Tier 4 data centre with a SQL cluster, 3 Hyper V host servers, iSCSI SAN all in a redundant setup with Cisco switches & firewalls etc.

Unless you just buy an App you log into be very careful with putting your infrastructure in the cloud.

The cost of games on the big screen

So when doing a stupidly early to compare against my pre-ordered PS4 I get a system that all those indie companies who gave us fun games like Limbo & SPAZ can program towards! I can't wait for the Steam sale for the big screen, it's going to be epic. The price war has started and when it comes to the console its either going to be cheaper or better than the new PS4/Xbox one. Also you can problery make one yourself or a ton of PC builders will make you great option on an ever improving platform... I say we will soon see support for 4K TV gaming in full res!
