Onlive is a service that sets out to revolutionize the gaming industry by changing how it works.

Most gaming consoles have the console it self process the game, and so the games are limited to how much power the console it self has. But onlive is different it transfers a video feed of the game. So the console it self is not processing the info a outside source is. Which means the console just has to focus on process video efficiently. The onlive software can be installed to your computer through a plugin. Or you can get a microconsol to plug into your tv.

WHen I heard about this I was mad. Because I had come up with this idea years early:mad:
But then I was exicted because if this works this could totattly change the gaming industry. I like this idea and I hope this company succeds.

So my question is do you think this will get anywhere, and is it a good idea or not

1. Use the search function. (EDIT: here's a link: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=227325&highlight=Onlive)

2. It is currently believed that the technology required to do what OnLive was created to do does not yet exist. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/gdc-why-onlive-cant-possibly-work-article
