    A) On the PC, renting games isn't an option. I didn't build it looking forward to renting games. B) I don't rent games anyway...even on my consoles... C) What sort of game would I want to rent and not buy? If anything steam pretty much has demos of stuff I'm iffy on. "
    Singleplayer games with little to no replayability (darksiders, splinter cell conviction). At least that is what I might use it for.

    The type of game steam will have a sale on with and sell for 15-20 dollars? Yeah I'll just buy it. 
     
    Even then those are exactly the sort of games I like playing on my consoles so I can get my living room HDTV and surround sound.

     I gave onLive a try from my home here in England and even though I only have a modest broadband package (which I could upgrade) and the severs are in the U.S it still  worked well for me!
     I can  definitely see myself at lest renting some games from onLive now  once the list of games expands and the European servers are launched.
     
    Who knows maybe we can stop being Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo fanboys/girls soon and simply become one big onLive gaming love in !!! ;)
