I wonder how well this will work out; everyone I know is generally interested in the hardware as well as games...

Also, do you know how much it is?

Also also, touchscreen controls!?

Looking at the FAQ £10 a month. Seems a bit steep to me.

Aren't these games tiny, sure steaming would be more of a bandwidth hog than just downloading the game.

Seems an odd way to do it.

Then you come up against copyright issues, streaming is one way to kind of stop people taking the said games.

One major flaw I see with this is game save states. You don't want to play 2/3 hours for the progress to be all lost if your net goes down for any reason. I think they should enable games with a save state / save button to the cloud.
