Just got this in my email earlier today. The microconsole is going on sale as part of CES for $66 until the 9th. I presume this goes hand in hand with the announcement that Onlive will be embedded in Vizio TV's starting in 2011. So what do people think? For a little more than the price of a boxed retail game or a full year of Xbox Live are you willing to drop down for OnLive?

I just put my order in.

They are really starting to push it, after finding a niche audience. Pretty funny, I thought it would be DOA. It is a cool idea if everything works smooth.

Nope, I have a gaming PC and hence have no need for OnLive or for its "Microconsole."

Got that e-mail too. It's enticing, but I don't have the money right now.

@Vinchenzo: Really, with a deal to put Onlive in Vizio TV's? I wouldn't really call that desperate. Personally I would love to see the indie developers take off with this to get more games in front of TV's. They are doing a great job on Steam, but I still want to play games, even indie ones on my couch.

It's actually pretty smart, send this out to in the know tech people, so they show their friends, who in turn will buy it at full price and spread the word further. Of course I don't know if things will go as planned, but they are taking their shot.
