Re: Hmm said by bostonkarl1:Naw, there will always be cases where you want something portable and stand alone. Think kids in the back seat of a car. I can easily see it in 10 years for the console. Since you will have an internet connection always nearby. And I guess it would be possible for a portable device as well. 10 years is a long time. Look how much has changed since just turn of the century. |

I, and probably most other hardcore gamers, would fight the dumb terminal method since it the has the potential to double the lag, which on already laggy connections is undesirable. To top that off dumb terminals solutions like OnLive have potential to kill even generous broadband caps. To borrow from one of older posts found here »Re: ?
said by Mr Fel:said by ztmike: It's not out of the question that a heavy Onlive HD gamer could blow through a thousand gigabytes a month. Usually I agree with you Karl, but that statement I doubt is true. I would be surprised if it went over Comcasts 250gig/month. Let's do some math with the assumptions that heavy gamers play for an average of 4 hours a day at 720p resolution. 60sec*60min*4hour*30days*5Mbps/8b/1000B=270GB It may not be a 1000 GB but it's still enough to get past that cap by itself, and the number grows when you adjust for 1080p. Possible? Absolutely. Desirable? Absolutely not.

Absolutely not. 270GB is nothing. I use 1TB to 3TB each month with my internet connection. I don't care about using a paltry 270GB.
By the end of this week my available storage on my network will go over thrity Terabytes.
And as far as OnLive it remains to be seen how well it will work. I'm not used to a laggy connection since I'm on FIOS, and I'm certainly not going to try an play on a laggy connection. I would turn the system off before doing that. |

Great for you, I would kill to have that kind of setup, especially storage wise. But seeing as I don't nor the majority of people here, only the privileged few can really appreciate that setup.
