Cloud Gaming with OnLive

[Heavie]

Has anyone heard or use this OnLive service?

OnLive Game System

Heard good review from tech news today. I don't quite understand if it's a monthly service or pay for the game you play service. Some games has the price amount that's in stores. I wouldn't pay that much, unless I own a copy of that game.

Looks promising. I fear it may fall due to being too far ahead of it's time, but I could see this as a viable alternative to throwing down money for a top of the line console, or even more for a top of the line gaming PC. Here's a recent review of it:

I like to try it. My concern is the bandwigth. I have comcast with downloads maxing at 35mb/s or 4.4MB/s. The upload is real shady at around 500KB/s to 1.2MB/s.

I was a beta tester for them and it was decent. They changed out their pricing scheme so it may be more appealing than it was before.
