We are still a long way from where the infrastructure of the internet really makes this useful outside of select areas and select users.

100% agreed was saying this too friends in work the other day after NVidia announced there streaming service.

Remember OnLive! Well things have moved on a lot since then. But it is free too try

OnLive sucked even when I used on a 100mbit JANET connection unfortunately. I can't see this ever working for anything but the most casual of games.

Yep Online gaming will be a big no No. But for the avg joe out there who just wants to play say witcher 3 I could see this working.

I remember OnLive working OKAY (ish) on my old connection. I didn't have a PC capable of playing anything back then, so was pretty sweet to have that option.

Hows this work then? You pay for SkyCredits and then "rent" a PC server from them?

1 sky credit = 1 hour gaming or you can pay monthly or get 3 hours free each day with adverts.

What does the performance packages mean then, with 240 for the top teir?

EDIT: And I assume it uses your steam/origin library?

Not sure I doubt it will use your own Steam account.. Because it say play any game you want so I guess it would use there own steam library? Not sure tbh

Here is the official site forgot to add to OP

Preview video showing off the Beta input lag is still an issue with streaming it would seem.

Its a great idea, I like how it becomes your own PC desktop and everything. I wouldn't use my main account steam etc though security in this day and age
