OnLive is a new service in the US and I got 3 accounts ( all is free for 1st year, +1 game each account, total 3 games) but when I clicked on launch on the web, I receive the error: "This service is not available in your region". I think they recognized my IP is in Vietnam. How can I bypassing the IP check or using proxy with this program ? There are no option to choose so I can't set proxy. I tried UltraSurf, Hotspot Shield but none of them work ! You can test this here: play.onlive.com .
Here's my login info:
E-mail: [email protected]
Password: 123456
Please don't try to change the password !
 
Whoah there, you should definitely remove the login info immediately and discuss this privately with someone, I'll be happy to help you if I can, but there are no restrictions over who will see this information you have posted!
 
Youre not missing much, onlive sucks balls. It's like playing a game through a webcam if that makes any sense. Also, the controls lag very badly.
 
Sigh.. with regard to your problem, their Terms of Use states:
QUOTE said:
Export Control
You may not use, export or re-export any Content or any copy or adaptation of such Content, or any product or service offered on the OnLive Websites, in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, United States export laws and regulations. The OnLive Websites are controlled and operated from facilities in the United States. We make no representations that the OnLive Websites or any portions thereof are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the OnLive Websites from other jurisdictions do so of their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the OnLive Websites if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the OnLive Websites are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the U.S.
I italicized the reason they are excluding foreign users (trade restrictions liability).
I underlined the part that describes that they do not promote the service for people outside of the US.

And this is from the limited time offer for founding members that provides the first year of service free:
QUOTETo be eligible for this offer, you must be 18 years of age or older and located within the contiguous United States, provide a valid VISA, MasterCard or Discover card (your credit card will not be charged to take advantage of the free offer) and pass a computer and Internet connection performance test.
Considering that you have signed up for three accounts in violation of the eligibility for the offer, you're not entitled to use the service.

I don't know whether or not you can fake their service into thinking you are actually in the US, but I cannot help you try. Hopefully you can recover your account and remove billing data from it and your other two.
 
Man i wanna try Onlive. might be the only hope to satisfy my gaming needs with this crap for a pc.
 
Well, I can always recover my password since the email can't be changed ! I gave everyone the password because I think they need to test if it works. Furthermore, the billing info is ... hidden, my address is ...um.... not right, picture this 77180 Indiana Ave., "Ho Chi Minh city",92211 !? Please help me find the solution for this

You're going to have a much easier time pirating the games themselves, than ripping off a service that has no support for your country. Much less expecting people on this forum to help you do so. Furthermore, those who've used this service in the US say it's not good, and if the quality is poor here, it's definitely not going to improve overseas even if you do manage to use a proxy service and violate the TOS (for which they can cancel your account).

Thanks for everyone's advice ! I think I should give up ... I also think that this service will be damn slow, even in the US. The overall speed must be superfast to load "HD" image, as OnLive stated ... But at least, I passed all the test
