Free onlive console

[^APEX^Oneder]

Apparently OnLive is going out on a limb to try to push some consoles.

PreOrder homefront for $49.99 and you get the micro console and metro 2033 for free. Plus tax and s/h for the console. That seems like a pretty good deal. Though will that get their userbase anywhere near where they thought they would be by now?

Sounds like a good idea, just would like to know more about how the service is.

[^APEX^Oneder]

all is very dependent on your internet connection from what i hear. may be able to check it out on your pc if you go on their website and test a game out.

at 10 bucks a month it seems like a good deal, I'm willing to check it out.

Gave it a try for the free try to play. The gfx were horrible, compared to home game pc and console. My connection seemed to be bad as well, and did not allow me to continue to play. I'll give it another try, but do not see myself using this as long as I have these other gaming systems. Its a good idea for someone whe has a basic pc or doesn't want to invest in a $300-400 gaming console.
