Dave Perry says the Gaikai cloud gaming service should launch early next year, telling VG247, "If it all goes to plan we’re looking at the first quarter of 2010, and there’ll be a closed beta before that." They have a video interview with the game entrepreneur following his keynote speech at the Develop conference where he tells them they have 20,000 potential beta testers already signed up, and the plan for testing the service will involve setting up servers in California and "we’re going to keep delivering players until we cripple the servers." When they have finally worked out all the kinks the service will launch in the US. A video was released earlier this month showing Gaikai in action.
