I really think this is going to fail.
1. You need 5 Mbps to play on HD, and some people dont have that much
2. It will lag like fucking hell if someone else is using the internet
3. They are taking out real disks so you cant share games with other people like that shit psp go
4. Can't have exclusive games ( god of war, halo, Gears, etc)
5. It has a subscription fee
Not necessarily, the sub fee is like 30 bucks each month, but heres the thing, if you play like 1 or 2 games for a shitload of time on a console. Halo 3 + MW2 for example, that would be way cheaper then this stupid OnLive garbage. Console + Games + 12 month membership = 350, 400 bucks? If you keep this OnLive for a while, and constantly buying games, or even play 1 or 2, the membership for 12 months will be cheaper then the subscription fee for that timespan.
I'm right if you think about it.![]()
My thoughts exactly.

Consoles are known too much.No way they are going to get ended.
The problem is that the service is streamed; People with bad internet connections will not enjoy it. I hate lag myself, and i'm pretty sure that most of you do to.
They have like 5 ok games, and that's about it. I was playing it on a pretty decent pc with a good 20 Mbps and still getting tremendous lag on some games. It's better than trying to run crysis on a shitty pc, but not by much.
Onlive are not new news.
And no its not really cheap and also you need a very good internet connection for that.

This will not happen until the gaming companies go broke... Sony and Microsoft are far away from being from walking on eggshells because they can use money from their other departments to subsidize their gaming division. While, Nintendo is still living off the profit they made from the Wii, albeit a big profit.
Gone are the days where you will see Nintendo sell hardware at a loss, even the Nintendo -U- will be sold at a good profit.
Who cares I'll buy it just to play the exclusives, and exclusives are what drive Nintendo.
Zelda HD was pretty epic.
Though I am still waiting for a 3DS revision because there are a handful of issues I want taken care of, so I'll wait until holiday 2012, I already got my Zelda OoT 3DS, because supposedly, there's a limited amount of cartridges.
In reality, the consoles are holding back the PCs, I like that to be honest, I want it to be slowly progressive.
Old ass thread.
Bhenchod.
The artical was posted back in 2009. I don't see OnLive taking over anything.
