@Ramen of Doom It doesn't work well with caps? They say they have worked out deals with most ISPs so that OnLive doesn't count against your cap.

@Mmmmz You do need a better connection than 2Mbps to have an ideal experience. 5 is recommended, currently 2 is the minimum recommended.

@echerringtonYAHOOCOM Yes I thought I couldn't afford to buy any games for a while but OnLive proved me wrong yet again. I picked up Batman right away.

@dragunrising Well after playing it for a half hour I feel like it would probably be a pretty good game.

It's a shame they didn't care about all of the founding members, only some.

Microsoft has been working on touch sensitive mice for years. This is just one of their prototypes.

@Scuffles They would lose money if the games were free who would pay the publishers? If the service were always free who would pay for the bandwidth and data centers?

The rental prices are set by the publishers so you can't knock OnLive for that.

And you're right it is nothing like Steam. Steam is free but you have to pay for DLC and they also make you download the games. How long does it take to demo a game on Steam? 20 minutes 30 before you start playing? OnLive is about 5 seconds (I've counted). Plus it's not even a demo, every game lets you play the first 30 minutes of the game for free. With a standard demo who knows what you get.

Another cool feature is the ability to pause the game on one computer and continue on another. Going to work where they only have macs? No problem you can continue playing on your lunch break.

@likedamaster You're right you wouldn't pay $30 a month for now you'd pay nothing a month, after a year you'd pay $5/mo.

@Saga286 Another up side is that you don't have to pay for downloadable content. You also don't need to download and install the games, nor do you have to find and install patches for those games, they're already updated for you. Also there will be other reasons in the future like having other programs besides games on it and having your high end games on devices like an iPhone or iPad. Though you're obviously biased so there's probably no swaying you.

I've been using it since Tuesday the 22nd and I must say I love it. The controls are clean with no lag at all the graphics look fantastic considering that it's 720p right now. I was so happy with it I made a little demo video to show it off:

Here's also a screenshot I took when I was watching someone else play Dirt 2:
