Y'know, for the few who care. I put this in the hardware section because that's really what we're all wondering about: will it work? We should be able to find out tomorrow. Note that they're running a "founder's program" that gives anyone who signs up one year's worth of free service (subscription only, not games) on a first come, first served basis. I have no idea how many free subscriptions there are, but if you want to sign up for that, you can.
I've linked a blog post below that explains things a little better. Also note that the blog post specifically mentions that there will be free game demos for select titles, giving us a chance to test out the service. Combined with the (possible) free subscription, at least some of us should be able to try this out without forking over any cash at all. I, for one, will definitely be giving it a shot, if only to satisfy my curiosity.
9:01pm tomorrow night, people.

Continuing my personal publicity campaign, I remind you all that OnLive launches tomorrow.

Not yet interested, but watching. I'm curious about how game ownership will work. (or not) *NM*

In the worst case, you buy for full price and pay 14.95 to play.

I can see that long-term, but the overlap of games I already own would be a huge rip-off.

Well no, I wouldn't re-buy a game. I almost never play old games, though.

Sales matter when good, under-publicized games don't sell millions, which means no sequels.

I just meant that the actual numbers aren't important. The dollars coming in obviously are.

What's the price that you pay for a new game?

To be fair, I said that was the worst case. We don't really know the pricing model yet.

True, though I'm assuming we do now (it launched a couple days ago, right? )

Me too. When I posted this, I didn't realize it was a phased rollout or whatever.
