Yeah maybe he should search out the epic long thread on this forum and see some of the comments..
Concept is great - end result not so great.
This,
Plus there is already a pretty big thread about how the games on there probably aren't even worth £1

I love these kind of comments,
Person 1 : I love onlive it's amazing, having lots of fun.
Person 2 : No it's not, it's crap, stop having fun you.
Person 1 : ok, your right, thanks, fun averted.
Some people just don't notice the lag or care too much about out video compression, they are just happy to play a new game for a pound easily.

I use a 360 pad for most of my PC gaming so input lag isn't felt nearly as much as it is with a mouse, I'll happily play through Deus ex human Revolution for a pound rather than paying £30 for the game as I'm not exactly flush atm with all these new releases.
ahhh input lag, guaranteed to drive you insane in under 30 minutes.
I wonder if i could make a usb or ps2 plug though adapter that you could stick on the end of somone's mouse/keyboard cable (like one of those physical key loggers) that delays mouse/keyboard input by say 0.5 seconds and watch them go mental

only if you're a bit dim or are intentionally misrepresenting it.
person 1:buy this it's amazing
person 2: don't waste you're money it has XYZ major issues which make it a poor product for most people
Person 3: well that's some money saved / well those arn;t problems i have issue with but thanks for the warning.

ugh? a pound lol, are you serious?, you try way too hard mate, where else are you going to play these new releases for that kind of money?, and your talking to people that don't really care about the input lag etc, I'd understand it if we were talking about full price games but we're not.

Not really. You realise that the idea of a forum is to discuss things, right?
If you bothered to check the large already existing thread, as has been suggested, you would know that people have already reached your conclusion. OnLive is great for people that aren't serious gamers. However, the vast majority of people reading the PC Gaming Forum don't fall into that category.

It already uses ~8mb/s constantly in all it's blurry, 720p awfulness. All that increasing the resolution will acheive will be raping more bandwidth.
How many people in their target market are really going to be on an uncapped package in the UK?

Which is fine but were talking about an opening post where a guy says he thinks the service is amazing, so I really don't see what sense it makes to convince him otherwise unless he's truly wasting his money which atm he isn't.
Complete sceptic, tried it the other day on my crappy laptop which couldnt run wolfenstein. Had a couple of problems until I used my wallplug thingys to connect it directly to the router and hey presto, no discernable lag on trial 40K. Seriously impressed.
Havent picked it up since because I still prefer my 27" monitor and 'proper' computer, but I have no doubt Onlive is the future, probably with demos first and then full games. The console crowd will gobble it up once bandwith and technology catches up.
