I have been intrigued by OnLive for awhile now, and I agree that it has potential to be awesome. I just don't understand how they can affordable have enough graphics processing power to do all rendering server-side.
The idea is good, especially for those without a really good computer and without the money to buy all three consoles. I hope it works, but I wouldn't use it.
A physical item that can get lost, damaged, destroyed or stolen. Who's stupid now?SICK0_ZER0 said:

OnLive has been discussed many times and the conclusion most have drawn from it is that it will probably not work.

i called an idea stupid not a person. You cannot attempt a rebuttal by implying that I am stupid without it sounding like a poor flame attempt. anyway that's off the topic.DragunovHUN said:
digital distribution via a method like steam or or D2D is all fine I guess, but OnLive? I can only see that having a negative affect on the gaming world.
The entire forum had a massive post-gasm when this thing first arrived. Use the search function.sadpolice said:

Actually, its broken at the moment, that's fair. Still, now you know =p
theres no 'attachment', and it's not illogical, if a game is a physical item it can be sold if cash is needed, it can be lent to people, and it's generally more likely that people would want to spend their hard earned cash on something they can hold as opposed to something stored on their hard drive, which could be lost at any time and has no back up (i recently lost all my data, and it's nice to be able to reinstall games as easy as putting a disc in)Jadak said:
another problem with digital distribution, piracy. an awful lot of people would not pay to download something. look at how many people use the piratebay and the like for music as opposed to itunes.
anyway why so much hate on people that aren't keen on digital downloading? why can we not have both options? and nearly everyone is on a fairly slow connection, maybe even with a download limit, with the exception of a few big cities in the wealthiest countries.
