this looks good but are there any estimated prices for this product? also is this a universal console or are there specific games and features for it? i already have my 360 and kinect and im looking at getting at ps3 is this another console to add to my list or is it an add on?

He doesn't seem to get the main point across in that, being an online service it means you buy a game once, which can then be played from either: your pc or mac, your internet tv, OR the console if you choose to buy it. All save files and other information are carried with you, so you could be playing on your tv at home, then pick it up exactly where you left off on your pc at school. There are a few price schemes out for the US so you can maybe work out similar pricing for the UK. I think it's a standard 29.99-39.99 for a game, or there's a new month subscription which gives you unlimited play across lots of games for 9.99 a month.

@Sam Beasley Sam its not another consul its a download on your windows or mac, or you can buy the online box which will plug in to your tv. This is not on add on to other game system like the 360 or PS3 go to there web site and read up on it

Hey Dan, If you are not on the Beta trial and are using the service in the uk you will be essentially streaming the game from one of OnLive's US data centres. I've heard of a few people being able to do that but the connection is not the best due to the lengths that the data needs to travel. If you think its awesome now, just wait until you are connected to a UK data centre :) Cloud gaming it def the future :)

Well after Jason talking about this the other week on GS I went and checked it out and it's absolutely the dogs nuts. $9.99 a month for over 91 games is an absolute must and roll on next week when I sign up. Will even play brilliantly on a slightly old Dell Inspiron 1501M and was superb. Run it on a better machine (Mines an X1090T 6core with 12GB of memory) and you're laughing.
