OnLive One Step Closer

hysma writes "It looks like OnLive, the remote gaming system that streams HD video over the Internet, is one step closer to becoming reality, according to an article on DSL Reports in response to a lengthy video presentation by founder & CEO Steve Perlman at Columbia University. Perlman demonstrated the UI, spectating, using the service on an iPhone, and other features."

  1. Enough speculation! by LS · · Score: 0, Troll

    Every damn time there is a story about OnLive or other similar services, you see dozens of messages by people speculating that it's impossible and latency will kill it. This conversation is get BORING. We get your point, and we got it the 500th time we heard it. You all sound like people having a heated argument over whether some comic book character can jump over a building or not. Unless you have tried the system, then STFU. At this point it's just vaporware! Maybe you are right; maybe you are wrong - these guys are working with the big boys - major ISP and hardware providers, and may be working to change the actual structure of the network itself to support the game, as opposed to changing the system to work on the current network. In any case, just wait and see and quit boring us with your armchair network admin speculations.
