i dont understand will i need a better connection than the normal required connection for psn and will this thing have wifi because my computer is a dinosaur and i dont expect it to play any thing

OnLive uses cload technology so even on the oldest computer it can play Crysis on the highest graphics... its awesome that way ll im not entirely sure how it does that but... it does that.... all you need is an internet connection such as... 512kbps or higher... and thats it connect it to your pc and internet connection and your done.... as for wifi.... you might need a wireless adapter to connect to the console and then sync it from your TV to the computer and thats it =] hope i helped

i have downloaded the app and played some demos to give it a try. I am signing up for the playpass as we speak. Whoever said this is netflix for gamers is absolutely correct. That is probably the best way to describe it. All I can say is

MIND = BLOWN.

I would not waste money on the gaming box though. Just connect an old pc to your hdtv and get a wireless 360 controller for pc.

I have this console and it's pretty sweet! It's like netflix for gamers. You pay $9.99 a month to play anything you want on their service. The only downside is that it's 1080i/p (which sucks for those with older TVs) ONLY and it is corded internet only, no wi-fi :(! And some times the video can get a bit choppy when there is a lot of internet traffic. But otherwise it's a great little system that you can almost fit in your pocket just for $60 dollars (when they are having a sale)!! Get it!!

The average UK net connection won't be able to cope very well with this. When every user can actually receive at least 20mbps this might just take off. Until that point I see this being a flop.

bull crap not every gamer has a computer it would be fun for somebody who does not have consoles but has a computer

HOLY SHIT!

Well, neat idea, except a few problems:

1) You really don't own the games if you are purchasing a full playpass, UNLESS you are guarenteed that you can privately mod the game for your own use and have access to the game, even if onlive goes out of business.

2) Not everyone has access to the server, as some people don't have broadband internet access.

3) You can't create your own games.

4) I'm not convinced about protection, because there's always a bad hacker lurking and can ruin the fun.

Whoa, whoa, whoa wait.. So this IS, INDEED the next gen console? So now we are finally gonna be able to see some competetion from Sony and Microsoft with PS4 and Xbox "720" soon?

So you don't have to spend 60 bucks on a game anymore?
