Onlive

Recommended Posts

I recently found out about something called OnLive (http://onlive.com/). Basically, you can play games on a computer with low RAM and CPU because the processing is done elsewhere (This is called cloud computing I believe). Things like this are why netbooks are popular. I wonder how this will affect Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. :)

P.S. Somehow, I forgot to mention that when OnLive comes out, you will also be able to buy the OnLive console, which is basically the same thing but as a game system instead of a program on your computer.

I really like this idea because then I will be able to play games on my Macbook, and be able to say. Yes, It can run Crysis, ***** next time someone annoys me asking that.

Also I always hated gaming on a PC because of how often you have to upgrade hardware, this fixes that problem. So, I can say that I am really excited about this service.
