Play high end games without having to have a powerful computer

In response to a comment I received I am going to write about a revolutionary service I cam across a few days ago refferred to as OnLive

1.What is OnLive?
This is an internet based gaming service that was though of by some bright American minds that aims at enabling people to play games over the internet without the need of having powerful computers and graphics cards which are usually a necessity with high end games.

2.How does it work?
Simple,you are in control of the game.You play the game on their servers but the images from the game are streamed to your computer or TV.Basically its like you are playing the game on their servers but you are being streamed the video of your gameplay so it looks like you are playing it right from your computer

What do I need?
1.Broadband internet(has to be fast)
2.Windows XP/Vista enabled laptop or PC
3.To play directly on the TV a micro-console is required

How do I join?
It is still in beta stage and they are only allowing beta testers to join

What kind of games are available?
The latest games from the big companies which they have partnered with such as EA,THQ,Eidos,Take 2
Some of the games they say are already available include;
Tomb Raider:Underworld
Crysis warhead
Mirrors Edge
Prince of Persia
Bioshock
H.A.W.X
and many others

When will it be available?
They promise by the end of the year but am I say probably mid next year

What are some of the things you expect to go wrong with this service?
Am glad u asked,
1.Its internet based so automatically you have to worry about your internet speed and also their servers sometimes not being available
2.Its still not as good as having the games themselves
3.Streaming will never be as good as the real deal
