What about using the free system? Werthead Send a noteboard - 24/09/2011 05:55:09 PM
Yeah.

On a more serious note, the technology is good, and the concept is revolutionary - it WILL change the way we interact with electronics. I have no doubt of that.

I'm not ready to embrace it yet though. I'll let the early adopters work out the kinks. And it poses serious challenges for internet infrastructure.


I notice a lot of people saying no, they'll try it in a few years. The question that arises is why? It's free to sign up and doesn't ask you for any money or cc details until you actually buy things. You can log in, play some demos/trials and see for yourself how it works. Or - as quite a few people are doing at the moment - logging in, spending £1 on a single game (DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION is the most popular, I believe) and then never spend any money on it ever again

Play any PC game on your PC, Mac or tablet, regardless of specifications. Seriously. Werthead - 23/09/2011 08:02:37 PM 844 Views
Just one question: is your connection 10MB/sec or 10mbps? A Deathwatch Guard - 23/09/2011 11:05:30 PM 473 Views
I'm guessing 10 mbps; 10 MB/s is like 120 mbps *NM* Praziquantel - 24/09/2011 07:57:58 AM 235 Views
80, but close. 1 byte = 8 bits. 10 megabytes = 80 megabits. *NM* Aemon - 24/09/2011 05:03:39 PM 189 Views
The bandwidth is not a big deal above a certain threshold. Aemon - 24/09/2011 05:10:41 PM 458 Views
So how do you measure or check your latency? *NM* A Deathwatch Guard - 24/09/2011 09:14:30 PM 187 Views
Generally, go to speedtest.net Fox and Ravens - 29/09/2011 09:07:20 PM 431 Views
Again, for the upload speed, do you really mean 1MB/sec or 1mbps? A Deathwatch Guard - 29/09/2011 09:26:08 PM 596 Views
Either number is well above the required minimum. That said, 1mbps makes more sense. Aemon - 30/09/2011 05:01:17 PM 428 Views
You're on the right track, but let me clarify a bit. Aemon - 30/09/2011 04:57:52 PM 402 Views
10mbps *NM* Werthead - 24/09/2011 05:53:05 PM 241 Views
Sweet. My school connection is just a little below that *NM* A Deathwatch Guard - 24/09/2011 09:15:19 PM 200 Views
I'm a elitist codger who hates change, so it makes me unhappy for no good reason. lord-of-shadow - 23/09/2011 11:05:54 PM 459 Views
What about using the free system? Werthead - 24/09/2011 05:55:09 PM 471 Views
I don't need it. I am sitting at a PC powerful enough to play any of these games with no hitches. lord-of-shadow - 24/09/2011 06:25:36 PM 408 Views
It could still be useful to you, though. Aemon - 30/09/2011 05:15:48 PM 474 Views
Heh, I've been posting about OnLive here for years. Good luck getting people interested. *NM* Aemon - 24/09/2011 05:05:00 PM 219 Views
