OnLive Beta Signups [Mar 25, 2009, 08:41 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The OnLive Website is live for
this just unveiled cloud gaming service, and accepting signups for
the OnLive Beta Program,
which is slated to get underway this summer. Word is: "You need to be at least
18, based in the US and have a broadband-connected PC running Windows
Vista®/XP®, or an Intel®-based Mac." Also,
Engadget has video of OnLive being shown off at GDC, where playing
Crysis over the service is demonstrated, and the burning issue of how lag
will be handled is discussed, as they outline the careful distribution of data
centers to keep things humming.
Yea, localized servers are a must. You could probably tunnel the service from a US host to use it in Canada, but your lag would be tremendous, it would defeat the point.
