OnLive Adding Wi-Fi To Game Streaming Device > hahahaha

Re: hahahaha

The lazy way out because I critique a product that has obvious flaws, you are a funny guy LOL. Most of which don't exist in any other product on the market(retail price for a 1-2 year rental, latency issues, insane bandwidth requirements). I never said I run this on hotspots. I wouldn't run it period, mainly because of full retail price for rentals and not a fast enough broadband connection available even at home to support it(though I am looking at wirelessly backhauling a 15 mbit TWC connection from the next city, but not for this thing with its 1-2 year rental bullshit). I guess I am too busy designing networks to worry about learning to design gaming hardware too. So sorry LOL. As to freeloading, I almost never use public, wifi for anything. I play FFXI on the go over my good ole AT&T data card. The game requires less than a 56k modem to work perfectly. The stereotype you buy into that games are bandwidth intensive is just false. A few may be, but not the majority.

well why bitch about the product if you're not going to use it just becaues it has flaws. they have customers and are making the $$$. if they didn't the product still wouldn't be afloat but T also has a good share of $$$ invested.

and the latency issues aren't a problem with OnLive. I use them and it works just fine.

That is actually surprising, given you're in Ohio. Aren't all their servers in CA, at this point? You must have some good routing then. Still, you gotta figure at least +80ms or so on the controls plus server response time, especially under load. That would actually be good, but still not compare to a game running locally. For those sick of upgrading the PC just for games(especially if they run Linux), there is still the XBOX360 or PS3(even though I'm pissed at Sony). You would get a better experience that way and still own your games forever. I would try this service , other than my small test on a friend's laptop, if the pricing weren't so insulting. Full retail for a 1-2 year rental, plus an inevitable monthly fee just for the right to play? Screw that! I'll get the boxed game with all the art, etc and own it forever. I still play the old FF and Zelda games, to name a couple. They wouldn't be such classics if people only rented them for 1-2 years for around $60.
