Re: hahahaha I know for Playstation you don't have to, but don't you have to pay a subscription fee to XBox Live to play online? I don't have either, but what is the real difference between XBox Live and this OnLive stuff? |

| You can't even load the game and play 1 player games with On-Live without the service being paid for and your broadband connection working. Plenty of 1 or 2 player games for XBOX that also work on XBOX Live as multiplayer.

The difference is you own the game, and not have a two year rental. |

I don't have either, but what is the real difference between XBox Live and this OnLive stuff? The difference is that XBL gold allows you to play online multiplayer with friends and other players across the world. The $50 a year fee isn't for the games, it's just the online multiplayer component of those games. You don't need it to play single player games or local multiplayer. With onlive they charge the monthly fee, which doesn't actually get you anything but the right to call yourself a subscriber, then on top of that you have to pay for the games. |
