with the official release of onlive(cloud gaming) last week users and gaming sites are starting to publish reviews and details, which make the hardcore pc gamer not happy....

facts:
- max. resolution 1280x720 (even on pc);
- you can only rent games (3days, 5days or 3years) pricinglist;
- next to renting there will be a monthly fee;
- atm only 20 games to choose from;
- pc gamers will notice 'console lag'.

with a late 2011 EU release planned this service is really losing my interest. (i'd rather get a propper pc and own the game)

on another note Gaikai (NL version of Onlive) has signed a deal with EA (BF series, MoH...)
let's wait and see what they'll have in store for us.

I'll leave you with this saying a wise old man once told me:

"You cant polish a turd!"
The best defence against software piracy is producing a game worth buying.
