Sounds interesting.
How do you put games/steam on it?
And they really should over a lower spec version for like half the price.

And more to the point how long is the offer for, I see normal price is $59.99 a month.

so its till pre-orders are filled.

It basically uses a Special like RDP Package. A youtuber Jayztwocents is doing a trial & if you use his code you can get 50% discount for life.

his going to do a video on it soon. But he has said he tried cod & the experience was good & is going to do testing on Slower connections.

I imagine it'll easily be profitable you aren't going to get one machine each.
People will only use it for a few hours a day, so they'll have enough to supply decent performance for as many online at the same time.
And $59.99 normal price.

To the bolded "apparently" they are. they have also said they have ties with GPU parts to help the infrastructure.

Their was also a hint of a AMD 12GB GPU on their site for a while ;)


they already run & own a a large Hosting Company which has been running for many years.

things to note you can Run Photoshop/CAD/CAM on these PC's

So literally a PC in the Sky or Cloud just for you

added videos to main topic

I can't see this working for the same reason as onlive never really took off; latency. It doesn't matter how quick the PC is, or how little bandwidth is required, if it takes 3-400ms from moving your mouse to the picture on screen reacting, it's going to be horrible to play games on.

Potentially great for non-realtime stuff like rendering etc, but no way for gaming...

This is from the a Server hosting Company so the they are used to the load From servers, & putting in more infrastructure for this. but we will see i cant see it working if they get flooded with hundreds of thousands on launch but. it could work

i Agree but we cannot make any judgements till we see it.

But its not much different from people using IPS panels with 40ms latency something i used to use & didn't really feel it.

Also if The Server & the Game Servers are The same Data-centers the lag will be LAN based + whatever you normally get.


Say you get
30 ms normally to CSS server


With This Services (different datacenters)
Your server connects to CSS server at rate of 10ms (due to being closer to the servers with bigger pipe)
Server takes 3ms to process your Video stream.
You connect to your Server at 20 ms
33ms to get data to you.

forget monitors you will get this anyway

for most this is ok. but to be fair the service will only be as good as your ISP period agreed
 
Glaucus said:
I'm not assuming everyone. But 40ms is nothing and well below most studies findings (and even that's in moving simulators).
It also doesn't mean yours is caused by lag as lag is annoying rather than motion sickness causing. Most video game motion sickness is imbalance between ears and eyes, just like car/boat motion sickness, rather than lag.

it would be great to use at the office or on long conference trips etc though :D

I can't see this working. I think most serious gamers would find it rather irritating to have their input delayed and the price tag is too much for someone to casually dip in.

Do think of this as one or the other.
some could use it just to do rendering or live streaming
Some people will use it when their away from home
Addition too not replace
