    you had to install onlive for you pc, then pre-order the game from the console and all set. But is too late now, since the offer expired at midnight.

    I just signed up for OnLive and I must say, I'm very impressed with the potential of this concept. And the spectating mode and overall UI is the best I've seen so far. I remember hearing about it a long time ago, but have since forgot about it. A very pleasant surprise to know that I can game on my X200t w/ Intel graphics, which is now 2 generations old. In fact, I doubt the latest Sandy Bridge graphics can perform this well if I played my Steam games on it.
    With that said, I'm not bummed out at all that I missed out on the deal. Although I'm impressed with OnLive, the graphics are nowhere near comparable to my Xbox 360 or HP 8540W. Not to mention the slight, but noticeable control lag. I might buy a cheap game here and there for when I only have my X200t with me and need to kill time, but won't be taking it seriously until the library expands. Great for mobile gaming, not so much when you're at home and have other gaming systems.

    HA... I just meant to say I am impressed with OnLive, but turned my post into a mini review that nobody asked for :D
