It sure seems like VGChartz is riddled with obnoxious people recently. God forbid I see the advantages of OnLive and the appeal it may have. Its almost like you are personally threatened by this service.

The foreign concept to you seems to be not everyone has a powerful graphics card even though they have a fast processor. Even with lowered settings you can have a choppy frame rate and compatibility issues due to poor graphics hardware.

There are a lot of budget computers on the market today can easily handle OnLIve with no need for additional hardware upgrades. That's the advantage to the service. And if you're a casual PC user, the OnLive service can be much less of a pain in the ass.

It sure seems like VGChartz is riddles with obnoxious people who can't read recently. Did you even read the posts about cost? How much before the money sunk in OnLive is more than a good graphics card?

Edit: To demonstrate my point, you can get a 9800GT for $90-ish buck give or take some depending on the deal/sale. With that I was able to play through Metro 2033 on High/Med and it probably will last me enough for several years to come. The net cost of it is far less thn that of OnLive.
