How many of you feel OnLive will be the decider

Well it seems that right now the first year is free and the second is $5, so do the math.I don't know how much it will be after that. Furthermore you can rent games for like $6 for a week, so instead of droping $50 on MW2 you can drop 6 and then wash your hands of it and cry a lot less in a corner than you would have otherwise.

Then this is a viable replacement for traditional PC setups then, not consoles. It's PC players that feel the need to wipe their hands of MW2. It's actually quite a popular console game, and anyone into the online knows it's limitless value. Renting it for $6 a week instead of a singular $60 purchase(or less depending on sales), will add up rather quick.

We've been over this, just because people don't know any better, it doesn't make a a pile of shit any good.

That's not relevant to the argument you originally made. We're talking about this being a viable replacement for consoles, and you used the most popular online multiplayer game on consoles to somehow show that Onlive's rental service will be a benefit, with equating their model a saving grace to the dissatisfaction most console gamers have with MW2. However, since no major dissatisfaction exists, it's a poor argument to show the viability of the platform as a replacement for consoles. A rental service for gamers to wipe their hands clean of games they don't like sounds far more like a viable replacement for traditional PC gaming, since it's a common argument of theirs/yours to say games just aren't worth the purchase price, resulting in your/their heavy piracy.
