HELLO critical gamer i really enjoy this product that you brought in this world. I`m not trying to tell the company how to do there job but Iv`e read on OnLive details that on November,14,2014 that you are considering that the OnLive membership would no longer be free. I hope that you, the manager, the employees, and the company could reconsider and make the OnLive Mebership (FREE OF CHARGE). Your probably declining mentioning that we sould charge people to be a member because maybe your not making enough money. if you made people to pay for membership the people might forget about your company and go back to ps3 because its free to play online, regular chat, voice chat. People with the Xbox 360 Elite are complaning becausse of Xbox Live Gold. They might keep the Xbox 360 because of the 360 Kinect and play with there family mebers. Some people are really happy that they can afford an Xbox 360 but not the maximum. $20.00 for 3 months $59.99 for one year. To recap this recomended comment that Critical gamer and OnLive please keep the MEMBERSHIP (FREE OF CHARGE).If people are paying montly or full play pass will the money redirect to the company. If the membership is free forever I gareunte that people that loves games will order your product and mabe sold out of everything. More people means more profit

I’ve been playing OnLive for around a year and despite some occasional issues with lag, it’s been excellent.

I initially tried it out of curiosity; BT broadband customers got a 3 month playpack offer so I downloaded the app and tried it out.

Having not had a console since PS2 and Xbox, I really couldn’t afford a new one, nor could I afford to upgrade my PC with a meaty enough graphics card and memory. With OnLive, I don’t need to.

Having a 5Mb/s download speed is enough though, and i’ve bought Saints Row 3, Homefront, Mafia II and Assasins Creed, all on a 2GB PC with onboard graphics.

Sometimes lag is an issue, but that’s always a problem for any streaming service. OnLive does need more AAA games for it to become a proper contender but as we’ve seen with movies and music, streaming games will soon be a normal part of our home entertainment.

The fact you can use it on a variety of platforms too is great – a microconsole on your TV with a pad, at a desk with mouse and keyboard for FPS games, or on your phone/tablet.

OnLive is a fantastic system, and the fact you can trial games for half an hour free is perfect for anyone to dip their toes in the water and give it a whirl.
