Google Docs is an example of cloud computing and I notice a performance lag as opposed to using something like excel. Also, I just read an article on Gamefly where the president said that digital distribution of games was 10-20 years out...I don't see how that is possible with this kind of thing developing.

So buying 1 game a month at $35 is $470 a year if you play on your computer and $550 if you play onto your TV ($80 micro console). When compared to the 360 60 gig which is $300 plus 1 game a month (games priced at $60) it will cost you $1020 and $1070 if you plan to have xbox live. Now most of you are thinking that the $50 a year is still big compared to consoles because you buy consoles only once where in Onlive you have to pay for it every year, however onlive costs $50 a year compared to the $300 360 it takes 6 years for the onlive console to match the price of a 360, by then you'd probably buy a new console anyways. Plus Onlive will provide you with unlimited storage and you will never have to upgrade because the onlive's servers will update themselves. Think about it, now you can play games like Crysis and BioShock on your crap laptop and take it wherever you go. Now one limitation I find is the fact that you must have internet connection to connect to onlive also bandwith caps will be hell and limit your play time, unless you dont mind paying a few extra fees. All in all; if it works as good as they say it will Onlive will be REVOLUTIONARY,it will change the way we play games forever. i must make 1 correction, onlive has announced that their subscription fee will be comparable to Xbox Live’s $50 a year fee.

I think it needs to be much cheaper to have mass appeal. Especially given the state of the economy. Sounds like a good system but devil is in the details.

I know it shouldn't as we're already in the age of downloadable game content, but an entire virtual library existing completely intangible would beg the question, What would happen if the company got forced under due to competition or financial reasons? There's no dev team for the Atari 2600, but I can still take it out of the closet and play the games. Having absolutely no physical software makes me kind of nervous.
