Who has signed up for OnLive's beta testing this summer?

[Quadtrix]

Summer's almost here, meaning some of us will be getting emails in perhaps a few days regarding the beta testing.

 

[Quadtrix]

Jeez, am I the only one that signed up?

Actually, that just means I'd have a greater chance of being selected.

[Insomniac Gamer]

No I don't want to have streamed gaming. A) BT would go nuts at my download spike B) I like owning my games physically.

IIRC it's a system that claims to remove the need for high-spec PCs in order to play games by sending control inputs and graphics/audio/etc. responses over the internet to and from a server. Most of what I've seen of it has been a whole lot of experts calling the concept a crock of [censored] for various reasons mostly about bandwidth and compression - significant lag would wreck the entire thing.
