Today gaming's first cloud-based streaming service, OnLive, launched in the UK with an impressive line-up of over 120 games to satisfy any genre preference you can imagine!
Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat writes: "OnLive has teamed up with British game retailer Green Man Gaming to resell subscriptions for OnLive’s cloud-gaming subscription service. 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."
Any of you going to get it?
I just downloaded the trial on and tested it on my old pc (Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz & 1GB RAM, which is useless for any game in the last few years) my download speed is about 5 mbps, and was surprised how good it actually is. Played Dirt 3 and got about 40fps, the picture quality was very good...obviously not perfect HD like on a high end PC, but to play a new game like that on my old PC at playable state is pretty damn impresive.
I like physically owning my games. Or for that matter. Just owning them.
already got one installed and have been playing some demos. I havent bought a game yet and havent considered buying one yet.
This will kill the hardware industry and graphics cards industry, don't join people you will regret it and a lot of PC Gamers/Console Gamers along with ya.
