Man, this is really a stupid idea to me.

As many of you guys might know, OnLive was just recently announced at GDC.

It is, quite simply, an online way to access any videogames on any computer or tv. This might sound great; a way to play any game form PS3 or Xbox on one system...

Here are my problems.

1)Requires a good internet connection (1.5 mbps for SD gaming surprised )
2)The use of bandwidth from the system to access your games means virtually no online multiplayer
3)No hard copy of the game

Also, say your internet is down for, maybe, a month. No games, folks.

This idea may be revolutionary, but it requires too much to be good.

Sounds interesting, pretty big cons though, and I'd never be able to play with my internet. sad

I think when it first comes out its not going to be the best but after a few years and a few tweaks it'll be amazing.
Also I think it'll be good when it comes to renting games. The video I saw had the option to rent the game before hand and that would mostly be what I would use it for at the beginning.

My views of this have changed slightly.

I just think it's really ahead of it's time.
