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.
I don't think so, they've tried to revolutionize digital distribution before and this new 3G system looks like garbage. They have limited third party support right now and I predict failure. Remember the Phantom? Yeah, I expect about the same results. They're already talking about scaling back the costs of console gaming but in reality, my mom paid something like $600 for the Coleco she bought and it wasn't rare to pay $60 or $70 for the next big SNES rpg.
