Well.. something similar to this has been around for many years now and many people swear by it. It's called Steam for PC and Mac.

The only difference here is that not only does this console play PC games anywhere anytime, but it also plays PS3 and Xbox games as well. You can hook up any controller you want that has a USB port (you can even use keyboards and mice).

You're allowed to rent games for like $3 as opposed to only being allowed to buy them. So there really shouldn't be an excuse to get stuck with bad games.

Personally, I don't like selling my games or systems unless I'm truly never going to touch them again. I'm always hearing friends of mine complain that they shouldn't have sold a game when something good happens and they want to play it again.

I do sell games on rare occasion, but when I do, I sell them in bulk.

I share your concern about this, Starbuzz, but a lot of people are really liking this system, especially because it is so cheap and it doesn't require a monthly fee. It will probably mostly appeal to steam users.

It would be cool if you could register physical games with the system, so when you buy a physical copy of a game, you can register it with OnLive and then play it anywhere.
