Onlive

Post by Kelbie »

I am not sure about this but I certainly am not getting one. Streaming gaming online is bad, no refunds, constant lags in some cases. This is for people who have high end perfect broadband speeds and wants to play games from both consoles, instead of having to buy a console.

I'll stick with my PS3.

I thought Xbox already has TV? I've had my PS3 TV service for over 3 years now.

It has potential its basically the same set-up you have now except instead of running out to buy a game youll most likely download it or it will download the files it needs temporary and stream the interaction between the other players in game. think about it who really plays single player that much anyhow everyone is usually online multiplayering it anyhow.
