well this sounds kinda dumb to me no offense. the idea is very futuristic. its not a bad idea but im not gonna bog down my comp and internet with my gaming when i could just go through my xbox which is made for gaming and online play. (which will be much improved in 7 years when this stuff goes out for real)

I honestly don't see how this will effect gaming... I mean, if you purchase a game to stream on your xbox ps3 or wii doesn't the company get money for it?

Theres too much that still has to be factored in to even think of this thing taking over consoles yet.

Its probably not going to hurt the gaming industry but there will definitely be a lot more competition if this OnLive does turn out to not just fail from the start

What I would rather see is a system like Redbox only with 360 & PS3 games instead of DVDs. I heard some company actually just started this, which sucks 'cause I was going to try for a bank loan to do it.
Either way OnLive can go to hell. If it has a good selection and isn't terribly expensive, I might grab one as a secondary console to play stuff that isn't available on the neXtBox 720 but it certainly won't replace my main gaming console this generation and likely not the next either.

I signed up for the Beta, not that I'm excited for it, cause I ain't. I just wanna test it out and see it. I like to have a physical copy of my games, non of that digital copy crap.

that's not true, cap'n!
i've been secretly working on my own console.
you take a tiny little chip and implant it into your brain.
whenever you want to play a game, just think about it! even if you just make it up on the spot, BOOM! you can play it. talk about innovation!
i'll call it... IMAGINATION STATION
