Let's see them put their money where their mouth is...
This should be interesting.
I wonder if we'll get any extra info on Gaikai soon as well?

How Onlive Works
Powerful Gaming Made Easy
* Connect to OnLive with your TV, PC or Mac and start a game
* Your game runs in a state-of-the-art OnLive game server center
* OnLive connects you to game servers through the Internet, instantly sending your controller actions upstream and the results back downstream at blinding fast speeds
* Enjoy ultra high-performance gameplay on your TV or entry-level PC or Mac
These (in bold) are the key points for me.

And so begins the age of magic...
Oh I LOVE diagrams like these, they're so pretty and shiny and fucking useless. Instead of Broadband Internet the cloud might as well just say "Magic" though it could do with some sparkly stars
I'll be interested in a review if anyone here gets into the beta

I'm sure they can send the "high resolution" images back, and while it technically will have that many pixels in it, it'll be HIGHLY compressed with massive compression artifacts in it. Kinda like how digital download "HD Movies" compare to Blu-Ray Movies.
It'll probably be "good enough" for some people, but I don't think it'll be the paradigm shift they want it to be.

Oh oh... I want a "magic" could... then it could be my internet and do my dishes as well!!!
But on another note, I signed up for the beta, and I'll let you know if I get in.

Meh, I can not see myself using something like this at any point in the future as I like owning my games, not renting them. As someone who does not even enjoy Steam *Gasp - Yes, someone who does not laud Steam!* I will never be content with OnLive's system and will thus not be buying their product. :P

No thank you. I don't like the idea of relying entirely on the internet to even run a game.

OnLive is only available to Americans. What a bunch of hacks.

Even if it were available here, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot barge pole.
