[Sonic Waffle]

Damn! I was just about to post this! /cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
But yeah, its awesome.

[Nikentic]

Same xD GIMME! hate this-.-

[atticus589]

IMO its cool, but from the looks of it, its just gonna be a huge resource hog like steam, and to fully maximize the experience of the game you are going to download it... Plus it would be way cooler to pay just a monthly fee, not have to purchase any games individually, but thats the vibe I got from the video.

[Sonic Waffle]

It works with a subscription system, but I am not sure if you have to buy the games or not although I do know that they give the Microconsole for free.

The purpose of this is so you don't have to upgrade systems all the time to run state of the art games. Their high speed gaming servers will do that and just stream to your TV/PC/Mac.
Example: You will be able to run Crysis at full settings at 720p. (Example, not exactly sure.)

There are some things though:
1. Their Data Center will have to be within like 1000 miles of you.
2. At the moment it is only in the US/West Coast afaik.
3. Your internet has to be 5Mb/ps or higher. (1.5Mbps lowest)

More like streammygame on crack and lsd at the same time while smokin' something fierce

[Sonic Waffle]

Notice I said example. :P

[Y R U A NUB ?]

I also heard from a Swedish site you could use any shitty computer that normally doesn't support the game, and play anyway. I don't really know if it's bullshit or truth, though.

[cheesebandan]
