It looks pretty good if you have a fast internet connection.

I own it. It's good for demoing all the games since they offer basically free trials on all their games on the go.

so $100 to try out demos then?

^You can also Subscribe to a 9.99 a month plan, buy and rent games on Onlive.

There is also a Windows and Mac App which let you game on Onlive with your computer with your existing laptop, desktop, keyboard, and mouse.

I like the Onlive demoing feature which I tried on the PC version for Windows since I don't need to physically download and install games, and use up a lot of disk space which I don't have.

It looks awesome but sadly it isn't available in my country!

So it's like GameFly, but more convenient? I'll check it out.

Indeed, it is similar to Gamefly except your games are streamed to you on the internet, and you can play them on the Micro Console, Windows, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Google Android via the Onlive App Program which is like a web browser specially designed for Gaming Online.

I tried the Onlive App for Windows on my Windows 7 computer with 1GB RAM, and Onboard graphics connected tp a cable internet connection which are both not very fast, and surprisingly Onlive can run 3D games without any problems like lag which tends to happen when I run bigger games directly from the hard drive, and even Adobe flash 11 3D racing games like http://alternativaplatform.com/en/demos/maxracer/ .
