1 edit | Woot OnLive definitely will NOT be replacing consoles or PC gaming anytime soon. For me, it is simply yet another way to play video games.
I have yet to pay a monthly fee, and with 50% off all games this weekend I will definitely purchase a few. With Xbox Live raising all of their tier prices here in the U.S. ($60/12m of Gold) as of November 1st, as well as Sony still exploring paid options, this being free to use right now isnt so bad.
ISP bandwidth caps is a bunch of crap, but I am on a business connection anyways so caps should not affect me.
OnLive just lowered the system requirements as well as the speed needed to access (3Mbps). But of course, faster download speed and better processing power is always recommended. With Wi-Fi being added later this month it will be fun testing the service over my 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals with my new-ish laptop hooked up with Intel Centrino Advanced-N 620, which should make for a great Wi-Fi experience.
PS: Once again, pricing of the games is ALL set by the publishers, NOT OnLive. |
