stumbled on this article, havent heard a thing about it, but im gonna do some research on it when i a few spare minutes,

anyone else know anything about it?

IN ADDITION:

This new thing will be solely reliant on you internet connection not being wank, so no offline games or SP. ??? is that right?

This has been around for over a year, think we even had thread.
Although I haven't heard any infos since then.
But no, I don't think this is gonna kill consoles.
Also interesting article about OnLive: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/gdc-w ... rk-article

Is this company employing the same people who Ubisoft hired to come up with their DRM? I mean this is a really stupid idea.

Its a good idea, but you give up all control over your games to them + your ISP, thats why it will not take the world by storm.

Lets see if they manage to create lag free, responsive and cheap gaming for everyone...

If it really delivers what it promises (which I doubt) it could take the world by storm.
Imagine buying a PC/nettop/netbook/whatever for about €200 which is just about able to play HD videos - and having a state-of-the-art gaming PC for the rest of your live at €11 ($15) a month - that's just €132 a year for a PC that's never outdated... If you wanted that now you'd have to spend >€500 a year.
Not being able to resell the games you bought because they're locked to your account is gonna become "industry standard" soon I'm sure - and after all, with steam-games we all already own some unsellable games...

OneLive, a too much into the future project. Imo people are just not ready for it.

I would get it if it worked for single player. Given a lot of games can't get their online code working well I don't hold out much hope for a good online experience.

Plus it depends on content providers, some dev teams/publishers/hardware manufactures may not want to work with the service and not release new titles on it - its a competitive market, and im not sure how well microsoft and sony will react to this.

I doubt it works. The article from Eurogamer linked earlier brings up so many problems I just don't see it work..
