onlive offering any game they have for $1 ?

Post by vexed »

It is a promotion of some type, and it is on their frontpage. http://www.onlive.com/go/one-dollar
They are a cloud gaming service, and it won't let you have a higher resolution than 1280x720 for any game.
They do got some pretty new games up their, like DNF & Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Anyone try this service before ?
If so, what is it like ? What about lag ?

I've heard both good things and bad things about it. Lag wasn't a complaint I heard. Anywhos, don't know what to think.

I needed people who have tried it to tell me how they like it. I was thinking of getting a gift subscription to someone, and they don't live close to me, so it don't matter what I think of it, I needed to know other people who have tried the service more than one time to tell me how it behaves.


Oh, and this is the Off-Topic Lounge, so, it is anything goes, as it says. :lecture:
