StickSkills.com writes, "The idea of having a persistent streaming video game without any special requirements such as a dedicated console is something that consumers will be leaning towards in this digital age. The OnLive console provides one of the easiest ways to play the latest games with only an internet connection. This two-part system, one which is available on the PC, and the other version that is available for home use that comes in a small converter box playable through your television. The system provides cloud storage for the games, accounts, and game saves which allows players to play any one of the games that are available on the service without the need of a disc. In this review I'll be mostly talking about the console version of the system that was provided by OnLive for this review."

The deal is the first of its kind in which a game retailer resells OnLive’s online bundles of games delivered via web-connected data centers, or the cloud."
With all the recent subscription services increasing in popularity including EA Access and PS Plus, The Game Fanatics decided to take another look at OnLive and how it could be the dark horse in the video game streaming race.
I still have onlive and compared to psn now it seems faster response time, and the ui is tons better. Imho.

CloudLift, which OnLive debuted this past March in open beta, is a subscription-based service that allows players to "lift" a limited selection of Steam titles they already own to the cloud, and then stream them to a variety of devices without needing to download the full game. Those devices include Mac- and Windows-based computers, as well as TVs and Android tablets. Because CloudLift is integrated with Steam, save games are synced across devices."
