"Gaikai differs from OnLive in several different ways, as it looks for other avenues to deliver the hardcore, full gaming experience."
Fun that a game steaming service claim full gaming experience, how can it be full gaming experience?
To my knowledge full gaming experience dont include the below!
* Added latency by rendering (and usually compressing the videostream) on server rather than local?
Usual reduced visuals due to compression compared to local rendering?
Disconnected mid game in your single player game?
So fun to hear the marketing words when they won't fool anyone but the novices/ignorant!
The game stream services has its place when the target client can't handle anything more than the video stream and input but anyone who can afford a descent connection should be able to afford a descent computer.
In the future, mabe... today - No!
