Cloud Gaming

Yesterday, a company called OnLive released a service that could break the cost barrier of game consoles and high-end PCs. After seven years in development, OnLive has developed a svelte set-top box that will allow users to access the "latest and most advanced games instantly, on any TV via a sleek, inexpensive MicroConsole, or on almost any PC or Mac" essentially utilizing a demand-based gaming model.

The advantage is OnLive virtually eliminates the upfront cost of buying a gaming console or PC and the upgrade costs that go with purchasing these gaming systems. The OnLive platform is currently supported by Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive Software, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, THQ, Epic Games, Eidos, Atari Interactive and Codemasters. An obvious extension of the demand-based gaming platform is an eventual demand-based entertainment platform where one could also view and access movies, download and/or stream music, shop and interact online and so forth. However, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony have struggled selling this vision of an online living room hub to gamers, specifically, and consumers, in general. Time will tell...but, clearly an interesting new entry into the gaming world.

Sid Shuman from GamePro and Darren Gladstone from PC World give their take on the OnLive gaming system.

THE IdeaBOARD is Up and Running

This is just a reminder to everyone that THE IdeaBOARD is now open for new, creative ideas and twists to THE GAME. For those of you who don't know, THE IdeaBOARD is a forum where members can create, develop and share ideas from the worlds of sports & recreation, business, politics, the sciences, technology, the internet, life/style, arts and entertainment; integrating these ideas into a competitive context and creating/building THE GAME. The content that is created and developed on THE IdeaBOARD is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. Under the license, you are free to copy, distribute, display, and perform the works created in the forums; as well as making derivative works under the conditions specified under the license. See the IdeaBOARD's terms of use and their updates here.
We have created THE IdeaBOARD for two distinct interfaces: a Meta layout in which this site is adjacent to THE IdeaBOARD portal; or if you prefer, a standalone site (portal | forum index). For those of you who prefer to work in a multi-monitor setup, you may prefer the Meta layout so that thoughts, ideas and comments from this site can be expanded and compared side to side with those found on THE IdeaBOARD . 
At the moment, we are using rudimentary Javascript browsers for the Meta layout site so you can navigate the sites independently. There are some issues with the back and forward buttons inadvertently changing the states of the adjacent sites. We are currently working on a inline browser upgrade for the next version that will eliminate this issue. If you would like to participate in this project please let us know. 
In the meatime, we would appreciate any and all comments about this G.3 site, THE IdeaBOARD or anything else GAME-related below; as always please be constructive. Thanks!
