Despite initial connection problem, I would have to say it really works pretty well. I have yet to buy and game, but the demo of borderlands I played worked better than I thought. There is still a noticeable amount of input lag, which may be a deal breaker for FPSs and other faster paced games.

...so they’ve reached 10 people, eh?

New games and new features are gonna be comming out. Only problem I have is that the input lag is a lot worse if im playing on a PC thats connected to the router w/ other other pcs.

Surprising, since I haven't seen any descent advertising for the service; no adds on any site I go to, and I've seen nothing on TV.

Without any kind of actual number it's just PR ... the sky could be falling on them , they'd still say everything is peachy

Cool service, but to early to soon. Bandwidth with be the draw back until that is solved it will be mediocre at best, however I do think they could go 9.99 a month and be fine.

The launch on this thing wasn't even talked about at all. This thing will be gone by next year.

I'd love to know. Also a list of games they provide would be helpfull as well. Plus how is the service? Is it anything like PS3 or Xbox360???

Hmmm $5 isn't too shabby.

...I really hope this becomes one of gaming's failures.

Only because I like owning what my money goes towards. I like having a ton of cases on my bookshelf to choose from, knowing that even when the next-gen consoles come out, I will still have the ability to play these games....they are mine, no one else's.

However, with a server-based subscription service, you still pay, but there's always the chance the games will be deleted from their servers. You can pay the premium for having unlimited play, but once the game is gone from their server, it's gone, along with your fee to play the game, whether you wanted it gone or not.

Imagine my rage when I bought the new System Mechanic a few years back, only to have the box say "1 year license for up to 3 PCs". WTF!!!! I paid $30 to use this piece of shit for a year? I asked myself if I could just use it on 1 PC for 3 years...no dice.

I paid $40 a couple years before that for my disc and code, THEY still work, to hell with this licensing crap. The day all games go from being ownership purchases to licensing uses, is the day I damn gaming to hell, tell the devs to go fuck themselves, and leave my gaming years as a bittersweet memory.

I didn't even know it had launched.
