It was announced a few days before April Fools.

I don't think OnLive would be an april fools joke tbh.

And how does that prove it is not an April Fools? Must I remind you of how elaborate these jokes can be on the internet?

lol, no
This whole cloud gaming thing actually is plausible contrary to some belief.
However I do not think On Live will succeed.  Also it will be awhile before we see it working, considering you have to have a server within 1000 miles or something like that.

The site has newsletters and beta signups already, as well as a tentative release date in winter 09. If it was April fool's the release date would have been placed closer to April 1st. Think about it, if it's going to take almost a year for it to be released why would they say it is a joke a week after announcing it?

Thats the fine line here. Some people are ignorant and saying it just cannot work when it can. Just not on the sheer scale they have said they plan / will be aiming for.

Nay. They got it started just in time for discussion and hype, so that they could announce that it is all fake at the right time. It doesn't seem to be a joke anyway. The day is almost over, so I guess it IS happening, and I'll just have to face it. I'll go lock myself in a room and think "HOW THE FUCK CAN THIS BE HAPPENING?!" for 2 hours, most likely.
