Played GRID at GDC. Video quality was great, and lag minimal but mostly unnoticeable, especially for those less sensitive to it. Of course, I hear the data center was only 50mi away.

I signed up for this a while ago, when onlive was first announced. Haven't heard anything from them yet. I have a Mac, so I hope that increases my chances.

I signed up, probably won't get in, because my internet speed is only 768 kbps, and they want 1.5 mpbs, minimum...oh well.

I put mine in as 3MB because I should be geting 5 last I knew but just ran that speedtest.net and was given this

http://www.speedtest.net/result/480000201.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

When they ask about the speed I never know if they are asking for download or upload. Would be better I think if instead of asking people what it is if the site just ran a test to see what it is. Maybe run 3 test and take the average.

Guess I should have put the 10 instead of the 3. Sucks I can't change it. I may be able to run the HD now but in a few months or weeks I wont be able to. With charter I never know what I will have. One day the 10 is cheap then the next few months it is really high and the 3mb costs as much as I pay for the 10. Since I have had my internet with them they have changed it about 6-8 times. Almost 1 to 2 times a year. They started with 3 different packs then went to 2 then down to 1 then back to 3 then to 4 now I think they are back to 2 packs.

Yep, same here. My ISP provider is a company called INFO AVENUE so hopefully they will need/want someone in the 1.5 mbps range under the "other" category LOL. I'd like to atleast try to play singleplayer games that I can't play on my PC such as Crysis.

I signed up for the beta & newsletter back on March 25th so there are probably alot of people who already signed up for this. Good luck to everyone getting in, and if someone does get in please come back and give us some details &/or impressions of the service.

It has been barely 2 months. Why are you always such a schmuck about pointing out how long something has been on the internet?

05-24-2009, 04:02 PM

signed up when they first announced it, hoping to be accepted, going in hoping i will enjoy it but still buying but not owning any hard copies at all kind of worries me, ps3/wii/360 dlc doesnt bother me as much as full games over $20. still hoping it will get rid of my doubts by actually trying it out. luckily with my router i get 15-20, without i get 25-30. thank god for twc not caring about capping the max speed in my area

Jesus, dude, I'm just pointing out that people who sign up now are getting in late, so don't be surprised if you don't get in for a long while.

i just got an email stating:

Thank you for registering for the OnLive® Beta program! We’re continuing to increase the number of new participants in the program, and we'd like to consider you for one of these slots.

they want me to run performance tests [ network ].

anyone else get this email?

Yes, I did this and passed (Emailed me back within 10 hours). Had to agree to an NDA type thing after it though.. so that's all I can say. :P

Got it, did tests, failed.

I guess they don't like that I have a relatively high end computer + FiOS?

What's your down/up speeds?

gage006

03-26-2010, 03:01 AM

Probably not supposed to say anything but I'm in the beta. It kinda blows. Won't work over a wireless connection (I'm not talking wireless ISP, i'm talking your standard wireless network) and the lag is pretty noticeable on most games. All the games are 5 minute demo's right now and last time I tried, multiplayer didn't work at all.

Good idea, but I don't see them taking off, at least not in it's current structure.

DarkNessBear

03-26-2010, 04:29 AM

Multiplayer works. It is just super laggy and not fun.

Outside the network? Last I saw it was basically on vs other onlive users. aka, no one.

I got in and have FIOS. My computer is decent but not to high end.

20 down and 5 up

Megabits of course.

03-26-2010, 10:54 PM

I know we're not supposed to talk about it, but I'm in the beta, I use Fios 20/20, and it's fantastic. I'm very surprised.

gamer4250@verizon

03-26-2010, 10:56 PM

I'm sure it would be perfect for anyone that can't afford/doesn't have a good computer, but the service requires constant internet access and a subscription fee on top of the standard game prices, so it's not like it can totally beat out standard PC play.
