OnLive to go live today!
OnLive, a new company founded by Steve Perlman, will announce a new game service which makes it possible to play advanced video games on almost any PC and certain specially equipped TVs via a standard home broadband connection. This service eliminates the game console and the need for never ending PC upgrades to support the latest games. In fact, it appears OnLive may also jump into the console fray with a device called the OnLive MicroConsole.
OnLive will manage a datacenter of high-end servers where the games will run and the images will be compressed using OnLive’s proprietary technology and delivered to the player over a broadband connection. Details will be available at OnLive’s website tonight at 7 PM PST.
Because I know some of the folks behind OnLive, I am really exited to test this service.
