The Vizio Co-Star Stream Player, the box that turns any old HDTV into a "smart" TV, is now available for pre-order. The device will add advanced internet features (via WiFi) to any HDTV with HDMI input. Said features include Google TV, Netflix, YouTube and, most relevant to readers of Joystiq, OnLive support - making the Co-Star the first Google TV device with integrated OnLive, according to Vizio.

Pre-orders are now open at $99 with free shipping for a "limited time."
