"nightsurge" i'm sure it'll be secure but having so much gaming info one place would draw the attention of many hackers and when people work together there bound to break in and when that happens us the persons paying for the service will feel it. Not only that what would happpen if the service was down, No gaming, Hell No. Also if you can only rent the games what about titles that you want to own. Not only that as the amount of consumers increase latency will be a big issue. I'm just saying I like the assurity that if I buy a hardware as long as there is power it will work independent of anything else. Thats the same problem i have with the concept of digital downloads. People will always Want CD's Due to the fact we like to have physical backup of our media that is in close range. The net is great but putting so much of our lives on it our dependency of the net will become a problem in the future as more information is stored on centralized servers.

As far as I know, it is subscription based ONLY. As in, you pay $10 a month for ALL the games you want to play. Either that or it is $5 a month for free rentals/demos and a small purchase price for the actual games.

Going based on the images and what I have read you will need to pay for the service and for the games. Also where are you getting these $10, $5, and "small purchase price for the actual games" firgures? Most likely it is going to be a fairly large monthly fee in addition to paying steam equivalent prices for games. If they actually expect this to be a viable service it is going to require some huge investments, and there is no way you will only pay $10 a month when you have those costs in addition to money owed to the publishers.
Also what would be the point in buying games if the $5 got you free rentals?
