For those of you that don't know what ONLIVE is, let me explain. OnLive is a gaming-on-demand game platform which was announced at the Game Developers Conference in 2009. The service is a gaming equivalent of cloud computing: the game is synchronized, rendered, and stored on a remote server and delivered online. In English, this means you will be able to save and stream you're games from a server.

Anyway, do you think this 'ONLIVE' will be a hit or a fail. I think it will be a fail, as you need 3.5mbps to stream smoothly from the server. In a study, researchers found out that the average household hasn't got bandwith this high. And the average household is exactly what this 'ONLIVE' is aiming to reach.

I think it will be a hit, because it's the beginning of a new series and its different then the ones we have right now. I like that you can record what you are playing by pressing a button I think that will be a hit also.

Fail due to the price. However if they got together w/ either MS or Sony in some way, I think hit.

I don't see that happening. If anything like that DID happen, I'm sure Apple would be in on it.

Servers won't hold during first months, too much interest and lag will occour.

Fail due to lag and 15$ monthly fee.
Most people will prefer to actually own the game, instead of losing it once the month is due unless you cash out with another fifteen dollars.

It should be coming out in a few months, but I expect delays.
