OnLive promised that it was coming, and the company has now brought its cloud-based gaming service to the UK right on schedule. That, of course, is identical to the service elsewhere, which lets you play a variety of PC games on any supported platform, including OnLive's own game system. UK gamers can also take advantage of a range of promotions coinciding with the launch, including their first OnLive PlayPass Game for £1 (up to a £39.99 value), and a free OnLive Game System to those attending the Eurogamer Expo (while quantities last, of course). Those interested can sign up and start playing right now at the link below.

I for some strange reason cannot order, always comes up with an error with billing information.
I've tried 2 credit cards, a switch card and a visa card.

Bye Bye OnLive, your billing system is SHIT!

i'm gonna stick my neck out and say this is gonna fail for me

"Your OnLive Game System order is being processed!"

if i bought this for £70 i think i would be quite pissed off if it played as bad on my laptop as it did on the "console"

i reckon i should get this by the weekend if not sooner

we shall see :-q

i just dont think the Broadband in this country is good enough for it at this time, it can run online gaming yes but streaming a whole game? i dunno, believe it when i see it, personally think you should be able to trial the console first

You should in the EuroGamers :p

You only need a Min of 2mb Connection for it to work,
But its dependent where the servers are located.
You would need some locals ones for none laggy controlers.

but am sure that will come in time.

Anyway just ordered mine :)
