    OnLive is having a promotional deal where all games on the service, except pre-orders, are $1. This includes new releases like Deus Ex: Augmented Edition and Space Marines. There aren't a lot of details at the moment about how long this lasts. If you have an account but have not made a previous purchase (redeemed codes from Humble Bundles, etc. don't count) all games show up priced at $1. If you have made a previous purchase you should be emailed a code today.  
     
    This was done as part of a Facebook promotion that they held this week to get 10K likes in 48 hours. They did it in less than a day. I don't know how things work if you create a new account now. They did say on Facebook that they want to try and get to 100K (currently at 66k) by next weekend to extend the deal to new users as well. link

    Update: Codes are going out. They are 98% off codes and expire Oct 30 at 11:59 PST.

    They seem to be having a new promo deal every week, are they that desperate already?

    As desperate as Steam is I guess if you go by that logic.

    The marketplace view defaults to featured which the regular one is under. Go to new releases or genre > role-playing to find the augmented edition.

    "This just in…My manager hates to lose, too, so he decided to up the ante. If we can keep the Likes going, he’ll keep the $1 deal going—and all new OnLive users will get their first OnLive game for $1! Spread the word… For the win! For those who have already purchased a game, you code will be emailed out soon! -OnLive MJ"

    Eff yeah! I cashed in and got Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I think it was the augmented Ed. Playing now on my MacBook using a wireless 360 controller, all hooked up to my TV & sound system in my living room. Yay technology! :)

    Not enough games look amazing enough maxed out to make this worthwhile at the moment. Find me a computer that can calculate a turn in Civ 5 on the biggest map with 12 civs in about a second, and I'll totally give it a shot.
