I think i've read something about when they first started thinking about it, so it's finally in test stages and we could see it next year. Well America could.

It always depends on the price, but i might be willing to stream certain easy achievement games. I think you'd see a lot of games like Captain America getting more moneys for people just playing for the achievements. I doubt anyone would bother streaming Gears 3 everytime they wanted to play it. Although it would be good if someone was desperate to join a game night and couldn't get the right game or it was a game that is only played rarely.

OnLive (http://www.360fahrenheit.com/forum/index.php?topic=952.0) on Xbox LIVE!

100% agree with Failed.  The convenience of being able to stream a game that you just want to play once will be it's success.  For AAA blockbuster titles, most will still want the physical disc, at least until the industry fully shifts to all-digital distribution.

I think this is fantastic!

Damn Neato, you gonna advertise for them? :-P

You guys are right though. This is only gonna succeed with "arcade" type games or MMO's

I love a good logo.  Which reminds me ... I heard Gears 3 went gold.
