This is a great Console, i don't own it as it still hasn't been released here, but a buddy of mine that came for a visit from "USA" had this, I got to play around with it for about an Hour.

I was really surprised that even on my 2 MB Connection it didn't struggled much, which is great for me since i can't pay for the ridiculously over-pried internet here.

The only thing that is holding OnLive back are the games.

uh no.
people like buying stuff they can touch and see, we work hard for our money, why would we want to technically "RENT" something with that hard earned money??? it could easily dissappear one day due to various issues.

I agree with all of those points. But we also know that speed of delivery plays a big part in any type of marketing, gaming or otherwise. Cloud gaming offers (technically) instant access to any game, thats something that could push it into the mainstream. Along with the need for no packaging. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.

I'm not surprised to see this sort of thing coming to TVs but the concept of cloud gaming doens't sit well with me. I like having the physical media and I like being able to still play in the event of a provider outage. Further to that point, most providers, at least here in Canada, heavily cap their users and streaming HD videogames sure as hell isn't going to do their(users) caps any favors.
