[Upcoming] Streamed Games played from Web Browser

[Sheafie]

Hey guys, was watching a video and it mentioned something about a new thing that will be coming out soon! It's called Gaikai and it basically streams selected games from a server and is streamed to your web browser via the net. Currently it's in Beta so you'll have to sign up and hope for the best as I have.

Here's a link to the website
Gaikai

And a video preview

onlive doesn't include CoD4 or WoW
But nice, Mass Effect 2

Can you choose the WoW version?
Is the quality good enough ? Can you choose the video effects quality?
Do you need a big bandwidth?

apparently graphics will be affected by video quality so, no matter how high YOU turn the graphics in the game, it won't change. But apparently you'll be able to choose video quality.
I think an average will do, but time will only tell.
