Wish I posted this myself since I knew about it earlier but meh either way.
Onlive is surprisingly better than it sounds.
Streaming games from their machine to yours like a youtube video more or less.
Its a little fuzzy but its great when your on a system that can't handle alot of games like say a laptop or even a Netbook.
It also has some unique interesting features like watching poeple play live, which is a little weird but kinda nice when you aren't sure you wanna buy or even play a paticular game.
The console thing looks like a nice cheap gaming console alternitive which I kinda like, but I'm waiting for another deal and maybe a built in WiFi Version eventually.
If you are trying out onlive these next couple a weeks, send me a friend invite and lemme know your from GBAtemp. Would be nice to see each others videos and crap.
I already have two games I own thanks to the Humble Indie Bundle. So if you bought that dont forget that theres Onlive keys on your account page.
My name on onlive is the same here, so send me a friend request eh?

hmm...
i have a 5Mb connection, i wonder what it'll be like if i try .
is there a singup required ?
Ya you have to make an account but they are free. You shouldnt need to add a credit card like when adding a game via an Onlive key, since the games are automaticly added to your list to try during the beta.
Also for those going on about connection speeds, ya, it pretty much screws up if you don't have plenty of bandwidth and a direct cable connection to a router. Wifi sorta works but its low quality and laggy.
Though it can be good for some people. For me I got two games for free more or less so besides this free beta test I pretty much don't touch the prices. Though that ten bucks a month service might be worth a try if they had some better games.
Theres the Batman game though but gosh, they need alot more games.
