    Consoles aren't "modable" or rather its "illegal" to do so.  Therefore, OnLive is just another console, a kick butt (an cheap) one, but just another console.
    It’s bound to pull away a chunk of revenue from some companies, but it won't replace pc's, Nintendo, etc. and it will balance back out.

    *No need to fear lol

    Everyone fear’s change, however, I think it is great! Give ol’ Microsoft a kick in batteries.  Bring prices down and reinvent transportation of information.

    If Microsoft or Playstation, etc. implemented this technology into their next systems, you could have a hard copy of the game, but you would have instant multiple-player.  

    Also, Downloadable Content packs anyone? Heck no, just Streamable Content packs, the new content! ( :

    I just wrote an article on this, but yeah, there will be some repercussions to the video game industry if this crap actually works, which I think it will just fine for most games.
    The only downside you mentioned that I didn't is multi-player, i hadn't even considered how well that would work on a system like OnLive.
