I like playing video games. We have 5 computers in the house. But not a single one of them can play any of the recent games (as 4 of them are laptops and on of those is a netbook)

And I can’t justify spending a ton of money on a gaming computer either.

I do not own a console (wife hates them) and again, I do not want to spend hundreds of dollars on one.

I just want to play a game every once in a while. I am not a hardcore gamer. There are tons of people like me. (After all, hardcore gamers are a small minority)

Onlive has no intial cost. I played their demos on their site and the lag is minimal and not that noticeable. I can get a 3 day pass for a couple bucks (3.99 for some, just like renting a game from blockbuster) Or I can buy a game for just 20 dollars and play it whenever, wherever and on whatever computer I want (even on a Mac)
and best of all, I can play them even on a netbook using wifi.

Thanks.
