OnLive to bring "The Future of Video Games"

Tired of upgrading your PC or purchasing a console every five years?

A new video game console/service called "OnLive" was announced at the Game Developers Conference in March.

The service uses a broadband Internet connection to stream video game content from a server directly to a TV, PC, or Mac. However, it seems a though your TV, PC, and Mac will not be rendering any data and will function solely as a screen.

Allegedly subscribers will be allowed to spectated on their gamer's games and will connect in a social network of gamers.

Major publishers have signed partnered with the service including EA, Ubisoft, Atari, Eidos, and others.

Below is a detailed look at the new "console" and more information can be found at OnLive.com:
