Not everyone lives in the UK. Plus I wouldn't buy an Onlive game even if it was just 0.01£.

Still it's pretty neat to get PC games out there.

Oh no doubt it's worth it... if you live close enough to an exchange that makes the latency next to nonexistent. DXHR-AE for £1? A bargain if you don't have the rig to play the game.

Maybe its just me, but that system is actually pretty impressive! I kind of wish there where more options for improving the graphics but I guess that will come with time. I'd certainly consider using it if the price was right and it had the titles I wanted to play.

Hmmm - a quick glance and yeah the graphics are where there is a drawback but there seems to be a lot of facility for casual gaming and spectating etc. I am impressed as well - I think it's great for demos tbh - it's very fast for navigation and getting into games. I dunno if I'd throw money at it just yet but there's probably gonna be summat I'd spend a quid on just for the sake of it.

This could be the future of gaming once the global bandwidth is fast enough and if enough money is thrown at the system. As it stands its a good alternative to someone who either can't afford a new PC every year or who simply isnt willing to comit to upgrading that often. Its clearly no where near ready for the standard gaming crowd, but for couch based casual gaming, its getting there.
If this was the future of gaming, assuming the input lag could be fixed (which it could), server lag wouldn't be an issue as you would host the servers amongst the onlive system.. plus, you would assume everyone else would also be using those servers.
Still, for now, its worth a look if you want a casual PC gaming experience using a low powered living room based PC/laptop.

Oh yeah - like it's totally in our hands right now - everytime a game is released ppl whine like fuck about console ports and all the other things you just talked about and very few AAA titles avoid some slagging.

I "truly enjoy" my gaming time and I never said I wanted to give up my standards for onlive - that's if you are trying to debate with me - I assume you are clever enough to understand what I wrote though. What I was implying though, is that you and I and many others won't necessarily have a choice about where this goes - just like we can't stop devs prioritising consoles over PCs. And why wouldn't you be able to use teamspeak? I've not tried it but there is speech integrated with OL which you can disable and use TS instead. As for it being nowehere near as good - that has to depend on the individual games themselves. Some games work very well for me though - I'm shocked how well they work tbh.

Yeah - there are compromises I won't make with many games but you almost certainly already own games that have been "degraded" because they were ported and like I say - I think this is gonna take off. You don't have to subscribe to it just like many who won't touch a 360 - I'm one of those myself but plenty here have a 360 and a PS3 as well and without a doubt those have contributed to a reduction in production values for hardcore PC games. Onlive will do the same.
I'm not promoting it and telling ppl to go play all their games there cos they will be better and that would be a lie anyway - it's just an honest appraisal of the system and what I see as the potential outcome. If ppl who don't wanna fork out for a good PC or console and buy games that way - and many see both as too expensive - they will buy into this because it is a relatively cheap way into gaming and once they are in then they can be sold even more stuff and then devs start realising they have a customer base that isn't gonna whine when their latest games doesn't do this or that. All the passion in the world won't change that. People can slag it off and try and undermine it but money talks.
