OnLive Goes Live in the UK: Launch Titles

About 20 of the 120 games are worth playing and most people will have already played these good games. There is also supposed to be a big problem with lag on the some connections. Why are they be charging 40 quid for a game when they have very little costs apart from there servers, no shops and no distribution is resulting with the same rip off that download music has at the moment. They also will have complete control over price fixing at a corporate level. Also with no second hand games or the main reason for fully disliking this is you will not be able to give friends a lend of a game. There may need to a bit of spring cleaning like the Arab spring if they try to push complete corporate control of gaming for there dastardly corporate scheme.

i joined to night and got my self Deus Ex for £1 and iv found that if you pay for the game you get better stream than if you use the 30 min demo all so they are doing a pre order Saints Row: The Third for £34.99 you get a onlive unit for free which if you look at it in a diffident way you getting the game for free and the unit for half price

LOL, this will fail!

If I had a pound for every new tech idea that failed, I'd have hundreds of thousands of pounds.

If I had a pound for everyone who SAID that a new tech idea would fail, and it then went on to massive success, I'd live on the moon in a diamond encrusted mansion made of gold.

@Hookey
yes this got me thinking back over the last 13 years and i still think of Microsoft getting in to the console market and how every 1 said ITS GOING TO FLOP look at the company now .
i look at it like love films for games as 90% of my games i buy on steam and as we all no if i get a game and don't like it i cant take it back and get my money back and i don't want to torrent a game as this is wrong so onlive works well for me

it mustr be doing well as this email came to me today
