Lucandrake Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 with pretty much a zero chance of piracy, the industry will be all over this if it works.Indeed... so it MUST fail... Otherwise, gaming will enter a "gai age" Is that what you meant to say?

Tigerj Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) This is going to be no different than what the Phantom wanted to do! Anyone remember how tha turned out? http://www.ladydragon.com/phantom.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_(game_system) Edited March 25, 2009 by Tigerj
Smilee Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 It sounds really interesting. Honestly if this turns out to be a success, it'll be quite the surprise. Other than that I could smell the vapors already.
mtsaint Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 How much bandwidth would gaming for 10 hours a day eat up? Consider that most ISP's have bandwidth limits. I think it's my best interest to stay away from this one till they fixx all the hacker exploits they will no doubt overlook. I'm skeptical I guess I need to start wardriving.
Wizard Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Once again, only good in theory. They need to make a really good algorithm to make sure we get a decent streaming HD feed. Thus far, it would take 56m/bit connection to stream 24bit 720p video with h264 compression at the worst quality setting. No one has that kind of connection and the quality would be less then steller.

Inky Posted June 26, 2010 Author Posted June 26, 2010 Onlive is "live" I've got an account but can't test it because the service requires a wired connection. My network is wifi. I need a mighty long cable to reach from the router to the PC. might be able to test is after the weekend if I can source a 15ft cat5 cable for cheap.
