Mac? This could be big news for Mac gaming, if the fees are reasonable and the library is good this sounds great.

That's assuming it ever comes to the UK...

Making gaming like this I don't really agree with. I don't want my games to become like my Sky tv service, all bill based and whatever. While I'm all for DLC, this is step too far out of the box.

Lets face it, us gamers like investing in new consoles now and then, like other things in life. We like having a collection of games on shelves, and the option to buy physical games from multiple sources online or off. Take that away to rely on Dave Blogg's wiring me the latest game?? I don't think so. I have enough trouble with Sky as it is.

My Sky box went down the crapper a month ago and it took me countless phone calls to get my service back on, after getting a new box. I had to go through ebay and bag a second hand one and hook it up, because Sky want to nickle and dime me £65 just to hook one up for me. B******s to that.

So yeah, imagine going through all this crap to play a game. We really don't need it. I'll stick with Xbox Live thanks.

Between this and Zeebo, I now think both are doomed, especially with Nintendo as stronger as ever. In the end, the games will decide, and I don't see them beating Nintendo there. I'm all for growing the market, but I really think we have enough consoles, already.

seems like a good idea, it all depends on how much the box is, how much a month they want and are the games any good.

my only concern is interupted connections, will you be able to pick up and play exactly where it was left when the connection is interupted?

this idea could work but i hope it don't think about it how you going to pay for it fist of all credit card that cuts out the 8 to 18 year old gamer subscription direct debit that cuts out the 8 to 16 year old gamer and quite a lot of the 16 to 18 as not the right type of bank account
you could do a pre pay card but are places like game/gamestation going to stock a card that takes a load of trade away from them if you can get say need for speed shift for 35.00 and have it on disk game makes 10.00 profit or get a card for 10.00 and RENT the game but game only make 10.00 for the card with you think shops are going to go for plus the fact that it would mean my shelves would be empty all so what about the people that go to college/uni stay in halls and have no internet access or have most likely very restricked accsess not going to work well it might work for usa or japan but i it would not work in the uk
