Onlive Is coming to the UK on the 22nd September

[#1]

Has anyone signed up for an account yet? I have signed up already and been checking It out a bit more,  Requirements=Broadband speed 3-5Mbps, and an  HDTV and I think the hardware Is going to cost around the 60 Quid mark. Interesting!!

PC gamer and staying that way.  I have No TV and no plans to buy one, let alone a HDTV capable plus having to pay for a TV license.  Anyway as it is my connection isn't capable anyway I get at best 3mbit with a following wind and normally 2-2.5

[#3]

Na PC all the way   , they havent released a price yet   plus reading from the USA its  graphic,s are worse than a PS3
a big pooop i think

[#4]

I was going to make a thread asking about this myself, the service uses alot of bandwidth and I am directing this question at plusnet staff, will the service eat into regular bandwidth? Only asking as onlive have gone into partnership with bt and with bt being plusnet's parent company I was wondering if the usage of onlive would count separately in any way?
If I remember right onlive uses about 1.5gb of data per half hour so you could eat your allowance up pretty quick

[#5]

Absolutely as all usage is counted with no exceptions

[#6]

Seems this could get costly for some, Splinter cell conviction uses around 5GB an hour, The least graphical game you can play uses around 1.5GB data.

[#7]

Yep if it looks to good to be true it is 😛

[#8]

Maybe just bt have a special package for it then otherwise it isn't going to be possible for many people of at least you aren't going to be able to play for that long

Are you sure as that is about 11.1Mbps

[#10]

Maybe slightly lower but not much, Onlive uses a constant 3-6 Mb/s, Streaming In 720p.

[#11]

I hope not - I think you have your bits and bytes mixed up 
Changed it I see

[#12]

That is right, onlive stated themselves that onlive requires about 5mb for 720p quality
In the USA onlive worked with the ISPs to get the usage separate from their usage allowance so I'm sure they wouldn't have thought of releasing the service here if they didn't have something arranged at least with bt

http://www.newsden.net/onlive-bt-to-release-cloud-gaming-in-the-uk-9240/ seems to indicate that they have a deal with BT probably linked to their unlimited package http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25633

[#14]

I'm not with BT though LOL, Is onlive having a server In the UK?

[#15]

Yeah they wouldn't do it from the USA as there is too much latency, they have already been secretly doing beta and testing for a while in the uk
