Given the level of compression and latency for the service, even if it lives up to the hype it won't look as good as a 1600x1200 game on Medium. With PCs so cheap these days (a basic desktop is $300, yet a machine that plays games at the settings I just said is $550 inc. OS [HD4670/X2 245/770]). And the subscription will be at a premium that quickly burns the $150 anyway.
With PC hardware, there is always something better right around the corner. The only reason to wait is if you actually want Windows 7. This is the best time in the history of the PC industry for cheap parts that play games on high settings.
