Yes I did considering they made a big deal of it when it was available in Belgium =p

I really like it and I am planning to give my my gf's younger brother this pack: (if I get it delivered to Europe)

System + one year of playback (so basically play all the games that are in playback for free)..

This are the games in playback:

Honestly I wanted to make a thread about this some time ago considering I really like onlive and it is on his way to be better than upgrading your pc or buying games for your consoles....  Seriously the playback has some awesome list of games :).

Great thread, how is the controller latency, and how do the games look compared to console and PC.

I have a fast connection so I am interested in this.

The games look like PC games playing on the best computers money can buy... because that is exactly what they are. As for controller latency... I'm finding a lot of variance, but that's because my connection is varying (wifi, housemate on/off games, other housemate on/off skype, etc).

Just download it and try it, there are no subscription fees (unless you get one of the gamepacks), and there are lots of demos on there. In about two minutes you could be playing a Batman AC demo, or something. You may find your connection is good enough, you may find you get a lot of latency... it's all gonna be about your connection's latency, so it's gonna be hit-miss from person to person.

Yeah, I just got that playpack for 3 months... free for all BT customers.

I'm actually very excited about this service, and it's gonna make big money in the future... wonder if there's a way to cash in on it.

I have tried in the very begining but i felt the lag from the controls was just a little toom uch for. Almost there though. The graphics were good, but my pc still seems to play games on high settings and I haven't upgraded in a long time. I do prefer my pc for now, but i can see the future in this tech.

Thanks :)

You can find a bit more details on what you can expect in terms of graphics here. The games aren't as good looking as they can look on a high end PC unfortunately.

Yeah, maybe I was exaggerating about the high-end PC thing... but it's certainly much higher than what I can get my computer to run (though the picture quality dips from time to time).

The thing is, as hardware gets better, so will onlive... and we'll never have to buy the new machinery, ourselves. High end PCs will still have an edge, but it won't matter much.

It's good but when I tried it not that good.  Graphics were good - sometimes comfortably ahead of PS3/360 - but still behind a local high end PC running the game.  Latency on the controller was also higher than a local PC.  Not enough to be an issue on the couple of SP games I played anyway - I suspect it could be enough to cause issues with MP type gameplay.

It was better than I thought though, although at this time with a high end PC, lot's of cheap PC games and 2 HD consoles I'm not switching to this anytime soon yet - but I will be keeping an eye on it to see how it pans out.  For me the big question is estimating if the TCO is truly lower or not that current options.

Interesting, DF mentions a server upgrade was possibly in the works, which would have a postive impact on latency, I guess that hasn't happened yet?
