I like the sound of it but no one seems to know how well it will perform on a shared broadband connection and depending on how close you are to a "data center" would also affect the performance.  One of the downsides is that you don't own the games but you do get a lot of games for 15$ a month, a price people are paying for just one game subscription.  I like the subscription because I don't play games throughout the year but at months at a time then break for a few months so it'd be cheaper for me to start and stop a subscription and not have to pay 300-400 for consoles and then the cost of games.  I also get a new computer once every 5-6 years so a service that can run games on a lower performance PC with a small hard drive would be great.

Interesting. I wonder if it will catch on.

Hmm.  I'd demo it.
