Sort of off-topic, but OnLive is so stupid. I know obviously it streams the game through the internet to your TV, but I think it's just very odd that they preach about doing away with console gaming, and then offer a console.
Plus I have no idea what sort of connection you have to have to run OnLive, but I have a normal 8MB connection and it can't even load up the main 'dashboard' without it being terribly pixely and giving me connection errors.
They offer a device to play it through your TV with a controller, it is a free download on the PC.Sort of off-topic, but OnLive is so stupid.

I'm on 8MB and it plays fine, heck you only need about 5MB connection to play smooth.

Shame I only get around 1.2mbps... Though fibre optic is literally being fitted into my box now lol. But really onlive doesn't appeal to me at all as I much prefer physical media. Tbh they're just getting a head start on what current consoles will eventually be once the larger markets have a suitable speed.
