OnLive – Deepzoom for games?

Onlive seems to good to be true.  The demo shown of at the GDC yesterday looks incredible, and certainly has the potential to revolutionise the gaming space.

This is a true example of dreaming better….web_mc_controller

I wonder if anyone at Microsoft or Sony is paying attention.  This does not really bode well for their next gen consoles – though MS has been focused on downloadable content for while, so that may be a natural fit. 

This will certainly stop another $1 Billion fiasco  - the red ring of death - hardware quality issues, but i assume the xbox 720 is already close to becoming a reality.  Not sure whether there’s any match yet – but this looks like a prime acquisition target for the boys in Redmond.

We’ll have to watch closely.
