Using the latest hardware from a distance, gamers will be able to play games from a distance using a small set-top box.

Despite the noticeable control delay from button press to on-screen movement, this will succeed because it will be super cheap.

That and all the benefits of the cloud, such as automatic upgrades, that the clouds have to offer.

Imagine the new games and virtual realities that will appear from this type of system…

We could be looking at a new big bwoy in the gaming market. I didn’t see that one coming!

    im not entirely sure onlive will succeed
    with a 80ms delay and thats a closed beta version so who knows what the real thing will be like
    and a lack of any new info since they first announced im extremely skeptical
