No More Consoles?

It appears a company called OnLive is trying to capture a portion of the gaming market by offering streaming games that require no hardware upgrades on the players end in order to play.  Apparently they will have high end servers which will feed the video strait to your PC, Mac, or TV and you will have a wireless controller to use just like your standard console game. While the idea seems great, I will wait and see how well it does before I go and spend money on it. Latency, bandwidth caps by your ISP(Internet Service Provider), disconnects, and poor video quality are just some of the things that I could definitely see causing an issue. Anyways, their site is going to launch in about 7 hours so I will check it out and see if they can live up to the hype. Here is an article from CNet about this new service. Enjoy!
