Throw in the next big GTA or RE title into the mix, and everyone will be running to this OnLive system.
I can literally foresee console gaming become slightly costlier, and this OnLive providing a cheaper alternative to gamers. Game studios can use this to rack in a lot of additional moolah. Those who will be smart, will bring out both online versions AND slightly costlier DVD/Blu-ray versions of the games in the near future. The choice will be with the gamer to choose his path.
Gaming is headed for a revolution of sorts, either way.
