Welcome to gaming in the clouds!
Many said it could not be done, but the OnLive Consoles proves that gamers can have an excellent gameplay experience in the clouds! The OnLive console is excellent for gamers not willing to pay a ton of money for a high-end PC.

Sometimes life just isn't fair. Vincent Van Gogh went completely unappreciated during his lifetime despite his obvious genius; Jesus - a man who could turn water into wine, don't forget - was nailed to a cross and left for dead; while Steve Brookstein has only ever had one number one single, despite winning the very first series of The X Factor. Now what's that about?
the dreamcast was not amazing:
-It's graphics were in between ps1 and ps2
-the controller felt so narrow and skinny
-no dvd drive
I don't know why people act like it was anything more than another overrated undersold flop of a console. My friend had one because "next gen" and I told him I'm just waiting for PS2.
He always talked about graphics, non stop. Of course when I played it did look better than anything I've seen before, but that was it. The games were ok at best. I didn't like NFL 2K's control scheme compared to Madden's.
Even as a kid I predicted this console would die off in 2 years, well what happened...
Failure is always relative. How many sales makes something successful? "If your not first, your last", or in this case, you failed. I'll admit, I've never heard of a couple of these.
GameCube made the most profit in its generation. I don't consider that console a flop.
I consider a flop to be a product that has a negative impact financially for a company.
OnLive announced that they would be shutting down their streaming service for good at the end of this month, which has unsurprisingly upset some of the streaming service’s supporters. While some took to griping on forums, OnLive user Larry Gadea decided to take action.
OnLive has been acquired by Sony and will shut down all services on April 30th, 2015. Vault of the Gameverse says Goodbye & Thank You.
How is OnLive evolving btw?
You guys who already got and had a chance to tried to this do you see yourself playing this in the future?
Anyone owning a ps3, xbox 360 tried this and see themselves dropping the consoles and aiming for cloud based gaming?
onlive is the biggest rip off on the planet. You dont own anything and your paying big money to borrow.......
theres a very big reason why its failing and not selling.
Video quality is blurry and bad(at least on my screen). It has little input lag but it's there. Brag clips are limited to less than a minute.
There's a few things that are cool about the service, but more things about it that are not. But to each their own, not everyone can afford a highend pc.

Why, when we already have Xbox360 and PS3 for gamers not interested in throwing in a ton of money on a PC? This service is better suited for FarmVille and Windows Solitaire.
