If you think your ISP is shite now, just wait until they roll this out world-wide  They also predicted we'd be using video phones by now and yet, they aren't the default communication menthod. I'll put a fiver on this scenario playing out: OnLive will negotiate with "certain territories" (read: USA) to start with and then ship out world wide. Certain ISP's in certain "territories" will offer this service and NO ONE ELSE (read: like the iPhone), thus creating a closed system (read: like the Mac.) You don't OWN the game, you rent it and can play it as long as the subscription service is paid. This SHOULD create a HUGE strain on the ISP's and FORCE them to upgrade their service for the greater demand (read: they will milk every last inch out of their existing system UNTIL it breaks or users leave en-masse.) TBH, if you had to do a study on HOW MANY people pirate vs how many people pay WORLD WIDE, then you would fild piracy outstrips ACTUAL SALES by double minimum (otherwise, WHY would they KEEP making these games?) *If anyone has more solid data than my heresay, then please reference!The system we have now is good and tbh, I don't want other parties controlling my gaming experience. This would kill new PC sales (especially the gaming market) IF it was successful. Let's hope they don't succeed
