Gaikai Game Streaming Technology Demo (July 1, 2009)

This is just a simple demo of our Gaikai video game streaming technology working in a Firefox browser with no installs, no plug-ins. These retail games (selected because we think they are cool) are all being played on a remote server with a 800 mile round trip to my PC.

The games are unmodified and are completely virtualized so we can run multiple different games on the same server at the same time. One of the reasons the iPhone has over a billion downloads now, is because they made access really easy (click to download, click to play), we have managed to get our technology down to just the single "click to play" so you can play anywhere on the web (home, work, school, on the road), and the games can come to you (on a Facebook canvas page, Myspace, Flash sites etc.)

We will start buying bulk servers soon and after that, we will begin closed beta in California, so make sure to sign up at: www.gaikai.com if you want to help us out. My blog is at: www.dperry.com

this is interesting..everyone in this comments section is super excited while most comments in youtube videos i've seen of onlive were mostly skeptical. Anyways, this'll be an interesting battle between the arch rivals, just until google, microsoft, sony, and the other huge companies catch up. Btw, awesome game library!! Especially the MMOS! Can't wait for DUST 514!

I guess there won't be any gaming pc's in some years.

Today the money made with Pc games isn't much compared to consoles.

And with the technique of streaming Video Games,

you could even play games on an online TV in future.

Does anybody know if you can get in the beta if you're under 18? I'm only 16, but this looks like it would be really cool to try out.
