That is good, but the image quality and performance is still so low and inconsistent compared to playing a game locally that I don't see the benefit at least for people who can calculate the costs.

I'm curious to see if they grab a portion of the mainstream market though...

That really depends... It probably looks better than games running on this 2000 dollar 27 inch IMac with a whopping 5750 videocard :)

Lol!

But I'm not so sure. No matter how crappy a graphics card is, it will never result in compression artifacts or stuttering framerates due to lag (as long as the games are played at reasonable settings).

PS: that's actually my graphics card! (except I spent less than half of that on the PC, and I'm not using it with a 27-inch screen)
