Beta program to Onlive

[quote name='gamer4250@verizon']Got it, did tests, failed.

I guess they don't like that I have a relatively high end computer + FiOS?[/QUOTE]
What's your down/up speeds?
 
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.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
I got this today.

I signed up for this a couple months ago. I'm pretty excited about it and hoping it works on my computer, since it has no video card and I can't play games any other way on this thing. :p
