    It seems to be asking a lot for people to drop their consoles for a whole new System all together. Wouldn't it make more sense for Onlive to launch during the next phase of consoles, instead of right smack in the middle of the console war?

    Don't worry about it, Onlive will fail, it relies too heavily on the internet connections of people's computers, You basically have to be standing right outside your ISP's Server rooms in order to play (AMIRITE LOL?)

    I think CL60 said it best when he said...no you're not right.

    I think it will work to a degree, it would be stupid to play something like, maybe VF5 on it, or really fast racing games. However it seems like most other games would work just fine, and a lot more people today are getting 15mb connections and what not. So, I guess just don't be stupid and get this thing if you have shitty internet.
