Onlive, Possibly the End of Consoles As We Know It

I was reading the new GameInformer and saw this newsclip about a new console. *Sigh* right? Not exactly. Go watch this movie and then come back. I really dont need to say much about this ‘console’ and basicly new way of playing games, other than YESSSS!!!!! Here’s why I think it’s gonna redefine gaming for everyone, not just console users:

  1. Portability
    Anywhere there is broadband there is the service. Forget about toting around your console and games, they’re all online.
  2. Upgradeability
    I haven’t researched the hardware in any great depth yet, but it looks like the games are delivered as a service, so you dont have to worry about your hardware going out of date as quickly as the consoles appear to (at least with XBOX).
  3. Integrated Community
    PC and Console users together (at last?)
  4. Easier to preview and purchase and/or rent games

More demos, A service which (I belive) allows you to play On-Demand style.

So if i said or hinted at anything incorrectly here’s a few links for you to check out.

Either way this thing is Doooope! Hope it’s not a jillion dollers because I’m gonna want one!
