I don't get how this works...
The server does all the rendering and hardware intensive stuff... then just sends the rendered images through internet to you TV as a video? If thats right, how is there no lag time? Seems like getting the controller to send the signal to the box, which sends signal back to company,and then company sending back rendered video would have an annoying enough delay. If it works though... -------------------- |

On demand is a similar Idea. Biggest problem is lag time and data packets.

Yeah I don't really see this working out.
I love how the article has both of these sentences in it: QUOTE New tech could make consoles obsolete ... You'd never need to buy a console again. QUOTE OnLive will supply players with a small set-top box
