Just another corporation trying to consolidate the market. Think about it. Now your a small game company you made the next best thing. Now you have to go through Onlive and share your profits with them. Or even better your the consumer who spent your hard earned money on a game. Now you can’t resell the game cause you don’t have the physical disk. Like a said just corparations trying to make money from nothing.

What sort of magic trickery will they use to eliminate the latency problem so many of us struggle with on a daily basis? The problem will not be with the Onlive servers per-se, but with my own sub-par isp. Every day between 8-10 pm my connection turns into a dialup-like mess. I would love for the fine folks at Onlive to explain how they plan to contend with the fact that many people’s internet service providers are not up to handling this sort of application wherein ultra low latency is key. Speed is one thing, latency quite another. The latter seems more important when trying to play demanding games on the headend. Good luck guys. I am eagerly awaiting beta testing!

[...] みんなが注目しているはOnLiveというゲームサービスで、これはNetflix On Demandなどがムービーのストリーミングをオンデマンドで提供するみたいに、ネットからゲームを提供する。ハードウェアは無料で、USBまたはBluetoothでコントローラを接続する。購入したゲームはデータセンターで動き（超高性能なハードウェアを使ってほしいね）、そのコンテンツがユーザに刻々届く。ゲームのデータが送られてくるのではなく、ぼくのマシンにやってくるのはストリーミングの画像だけだ。画像はもちろん、ユーザのプレーの進行によって変わる。馬鹿げたやり方のようにも思えるが、pingが10〜20ms以下で返ってくるぐらいのサーバの性能とネットの帯域なら、誰もが今自分んちの自分のマシンの上でゲームソフトが動いていると錯覚する。でも、それほど楽観的でない人たちもいる。 [...]

I am really excited for this. I know there are going to be problems starting out. Anyone try and sign up for the beta at 7:15? Servers couldn’t keep up so that’s not exactly a good start for a company that will 100% rely on their servers. I bet this will take a lot of people from their consoles and their pcs (as long as the price is right that is).
