    Someone might of already posted this, but I want to discuss the whole situation here...

    Are we talking about playing any game anywhere, lets take Crysis for example

    Are we going to be subscribing to OnLive, loading up their software, and then streaming renderings from their superdoopercomputers over 1.5Mbps+ connections and play the game at Very High on any PC or MAC?

    This is AMAZING, this is genius, this is plain amazing engineering, I have always wondered why it took so long for Sony to let us PSP users play PS3 games through wireless connections on their PSP!!!


    Anybody care to add to this and state their opinion?


    PS: Imagine, $50 a month, you play any game you want and your PC could be a crappy $350 netbook :D
