So I got invited to the onlive service thing (play full games over the internet). First off you have to have a wired connection (or bridge connections to trick OnLive into thinking you have a wired connection) and after paying the monthly fee (free for the first year for "founding members") you then have to pay to play the games ont he service, prices seem fair, about 30-40 bucks a game for the likes of assassins creed 2, Lego Harry Potter, Borderlands, etc.
I like the thought behind OnLive in theory but I don't know, the games they have on their service are guaranteed to be on there until x date (the games I've seen are june of 2013) and then after that if I guess they don't renew the contract with whoever the game goes off and if you've payed the xx amount then you're just sol I guess. I don't know, it's a good idea, but I hope it doesn't become mainstream as I don't think it's good in practice. All in all I'd say 7 out of 10 just for the ease of use and ease of getting/playing games. but I hope it doesn't stay around.
