The Future of Video Games: OnLive

Onlive is the future of video games in the sense you are no longer restricted by hardware in terms of playing the games you love. With OnLive, you don't need to buy a console to play the newest games or invest in a pricey gaming rig. All you need is a high-speed broadband connection and a PC running XP, Vista or an Intel Mac Running 10.5. A simple 1MB plugin transforms your browser into a gaming utopia, allowing you instant access to a plethora of games. You can also use their micro-console to stream games right to your big-screen TV.

Imagine crysis on a netbook or enjoying all your favorite games on the road. Impossible up to this point but thanks to OnLive, this amazing service is finally coming to life. Look for the beta this summer. Check out http://onlive.com and check out the OnLive press conference: http://tinyurl.com/cyuqf2

The guy on the pc would have to have extensive eyeball scarring(of both eyes) and a dangerous blood alcohol content for the guy on the netbook to be having a similar experience.

Barley anybody spends that much on PC's a £30 will easily do crysis at 720p on medium settings

dont forget the awesome add-on system!

its simple. buy a game thats semi old and it comes with all of the released add-ons for free.

buy a brand new release, lets use homefront as an example. buy it now and when add-ons come out they will be built into your game the next time you play!

I'd rather buy the physical copy.

cloud computing is the future. so cloud gaming is the future for gaming.

[DAY0FDOOM]

This will be a massive failure if Fios isn't available everywhere by the time of it's release, otherwise it will probably be the most frustrating gaming experience ever.

[HardWarUK]

Will lead to paying for demo's and patches, and the end of retail, and the end of genre differentiation, and a gaming industry that will release just casual games.

Also, half of Europe and the States do not have 5gb, so it will take just enough of the business away to kill the whole industry.

And to the idiots talking about the guys looks - GROW UP please!
