I am interested in this. Is it a PC gaming system? Too lazy to see, but they were advertising like crazy during WWE RAW last night.

EDIT: Looks like it's kind of a multiplatform gaming system.  Shocked

Some of those games aren't on the pc, but are on consoles.

You can hook it to your tv or play on pc.  There's no "games".  Everything is done online I believe.  I think you can play on tv and then also take with you on pc.  Not sure either, I just scanned over it too Cheesy, but I remember baddaddy was telling me about it a while back.

but system only $100 and games look to be $30 and under.  Can try before you buy and just do 3 or 5 day rental I think.

I downloaded it and played the demo of a few games. I have a sub par laptop but the games played great. All the processing is done online. My connection varies (a friend is letting me freeload of his connection) so the quality of the video feed will drop but other than that it was great. For someone like me who can't yet afford a ps3 or 360 (not sure if I want to pay for console that may fry itself) this is pretty cool. Not a lot of games yet though and only a few controllers are supported (mouse keyboard works with any game).

it's a great concept and I think it's supposed to work great. it allows you to play games with a crappy PC that would normally require an awesome PC by doing all the work elsewhere on the web for you. you basically play games through your browser. I signed up for it a long time ago but never used it cuz you gotta pay for the games. I didn't see a reason to buy any games through it cuz I already have more than enough stuff on my ps3 to keep me occupied. if I didn't have a PS3, i would be using this service most likely.
