Why cloud-based gaming is still a dubious prospect

The idea of cloud-based gaming took another step forward today, as the upcoming OnLive service announced its pricing structure for the US. It's worth noting that this is just the current set-up for North America, and could change at any point for any region, but right now I have issues with it.

Why don't any companies understand that if their selling a digital version of a game. Which means cutting out production costs, the costs needed by whichever store sells it, the costs of transporting it, and whatever other costs are there.Then they shouldn't be getting all that to themselves. They need to cut the price of the games to some degree. Even if it were just like two - five dollars or something.
It's totally insane of them to think that we'll pay the same price for nothing. We know their scamming us were not going to fall for it.

This is why psp go failed and amongst other thing why onlive will bomb.

for one, streaming games forn onlive wou8ld take better internet than most have probably. But mainly if you internet goes out, for various reasons, you cant play at all. If you DL or buy a copy of a game at least you can play it without an internet connection.

I would hate the hassle as my internet gets messed up sometimes by itself. Router problems, storms messing up the modem etc.

I think that If you can't afford a decent PC or a console, then you cant afford the internet that onlive requires.
