Judging by what Steve Perlman said about the server plans throughout US, i guess they don't have any immediate plans for releasing this in other countries at the time. They will probably test it there and see if it's accepted by the public. The problem is that maybe US isn't the best testing ground right now because of the economic setbacks and all. It could hurt a new distribution idea that has potential for anywhere in the world, maybe even MORE potential in other countries, like Brazil (where I live) that the distribution of gaming software is very weak. You don't find them easilly to buy, the prices aren't fixed like the $60 in United States, and the government over-taxes games since they are mostly imported. OnLive would proove a viable solution for that.
damaging the reputation? i was almost gonna buy a yaris 'cause i thought i would be able to shoot at fat bike-riding luchadores from the mechanical tentacle of my car!
