Manau neblogas konkurentas bus , ir manau bus piratams gali but problema

Bet aisku bus matyt

damn. jau galvojau ko taip apie ta sistema nutilo viskas. buvo gan garsiai snekama pries tai. butu visai idomu isbandyti tik gaila kad vistiek turbut uz kiekviena zaidima reikes atskirai moketi taigi Lietuviam sis variantas atkrenta

pamirsai pasakyti, kad lietuviams reiks 3x daugiau moketi..mums visada taip "sekasi"

Nu nezinau, bet man atrodo mokesim kaip ir per steam Eurais ,nors ir pasirinke sali lietuva , Tai kainos tikrai bus tokios pacios kaip ir visoj EU ,nebent akcijos bus visokios Vokeciams tokia Prancuzams tokia ir t.t.

na apmokejimas cia nebus problema, idomiau suzinoti kaip sreamis jie viska is savo "debesies" (the cloud), jei servai stoves in US, tai lietuviam tikrai bus didelis latency.

pvz ant xboxo ar ps3 hostas gali buti kiekvienas, nes jis turi visa hardware pas save namie, o cia bus tik kazkoks modemas ar routeriukas kuris suksis tik per softa.

Kas kur buvau skaites kad testeriai jau galejo isbandyt keleta zaidimu uzdika bet deja registracija uzdaryta

Bet as manau kad ir EU servas bus padarytas,nes taip butu nesamone , bet kas yra gerai kad nereiks naujinti PC ,kurie iprate zaist ant pc ,tas ruteriukas man atrodo bus tam kad prie teliko prisijiunkt, o jei turi PC arba MAC tau nereiks to daikciuko, tik Acc OnLive manau ir zaidima nusipirkes, bet aisku jei tai bus, aisku reiks isbandyt nes vistiek DEMO bus ten,seip nedaug liko laukt 15dienu ir bus aisku tada

mmm bus galima ant pc isbandyti. idomu kaip gausis. o rinkinio sito kaina dar nepaskelbta?

Del kainos tai dar nezinia

Beta Testing at the Speed of Light

Current OnLive Beta Coverage

Time for another OnLive tech talk. If you want to skip the details, here’s the conclusion: (a) we haven’t figured out how to go faster than the speed of light, and ( Noobs beware.

 

We’ve gotten quite a few requests from Beta testers wanting to use OnLive from different locations than their initial setup when first invited to OnLive Beta, and we’ve had to say no for now. Here’s why:

 

While the production OnLive service will adapt to different configurations each time you connect, during Beta testing each user is setup only to test a specific computer configuration (or MicroConsole™ TV Adapter version), a single Internet provider and, most importantly, a particular location. If you change any of these factors, OnLive Beta may not even run, or if it does, the lag and/or graphics performance may render games unplayable. OnLive will try to detect these conditions and warn you, but when you are using OnLive in a different location, you are not providing us with usable test data.

 

The reason location is so critical is because of the speed of light. If you are more than 1000 miles from an OnLive data center, then the round trip communications delay (“ping” time) between your home and OnLive will be too long for fast-action video games. As you can see in the above map, OnLive has 3 data centers for its US Beta test, with a blue circle around each showing the 1000-mile range. Your Beta account will only connect to the data center it was originally assigned to. So, if you are assigned to our West Coast data center and then try your Beta account from the Midwest or East Coast, you’ll find the lag impaired to the point where most games are unplayable. And, depending on how your Beta account was configured for the characteristics of your home ISP, you may see degraded image quality or controller/mouse performance on a different ISP.

 

I want to once again thank OnLive’s Beta testers for helping us test and refine OnLive so that it can be released to the general public. Bear in mind, what you are testing is by no means final, and we are counting on you to help us polish it for public release.

 

And… BTW, if you were blown away in last night’s Crysis Wars Power Struggle tournament by FragMaster, that was me. (Actually, I think I ended up third to last.)

OnLive Coming to the UK

Since OnLive’s unveiling a little over a year ago, we have been inundated with requests to introduce the OnLive® Game Service in Europe. Literally, not a day has gone by without requests pouring in. And, from the day we opened up sign-ups for OnLive’s US Beta testing—making it very clear the sign-ups are for US-only testing by gamers with a US zip code—a huge percentage of the sign-up requests came from gamers from European locations who used popular US zip codes to try to get into the US Beta (indeed, we had more sign-ups using zip code 90210 than the actual population there).

 

We got the message.

 

So, for all of you Euro gamers who have asked about OnLive, I have some very good news: OnLive is coming to Europe in a big way. Secretly OnLive has been operating a test site in Europe from a BT (British Telecommunications plc) data center in Wales since 2009. And I’m happy to report, that over the European Internet infrastructure, OnLive is AWESOME. We’ve tested OnLive across all of Western Europe spanning from the UK to Italy and from Scandinavia down to Spain.

 

Today we are announcing that BT, the largest broadband operator in the UK, has formed a partnership with and has made an investment in OnLive. We’ll be working together with BT to bring the OnLive Game Service to the UK, such that it operates reliably and with high quality over the UK’s Internet backbone to BT’s broadband customers. BT has an exclusive right to bundle the OnLive Game Service together with their broadband service offerings in the UK, although UK gamers will also be able to order the OnLive Game Service directly from OnLive to run over any UK ISP.

 

I know everyone would like the exact details of when OnLive will be available in the UK, but we are not announcing dates just yet. We’re completely focused on our US launch this summer. Once we get the US service up and running, we’ll be sharing more details, including when we’ll be starting a UK public Beta (with UK postcodes, no less). One thing I can say is when we do launch in the UK, gamers will have the benefit of everything we’ve learned from the US launch, as well as the latest OnLive features. Also, unlike the US launch, where we are ramping up with PCs and Macs, then introducing the OnLive MicroConsole™ HDTV adapter later, the UK will launch on PC, Mac and HDTV from the get-go. Still, I’d like to make it very clear that we still have a lot of work to do before we launch in the UK.

 

What’s great about Western Europe geographically is that so many countries are within a 1000 mile (1600 km) radius, which is within the latency limit for a single OnLive data center. For a technical explanation see Beta Testing at the Speed of Light. This means that all gamers in Western Europe can play multiplayer games together through OnLive. It will be pretty amazing.

 

Lastly, we’ve designed OnLive from the start to be a global service. Community features of OnLive work fine at any distance through the Internet, so this means US and Euro gamers will be able to spectate and chat with each other, and check out each other’s user profiles and Brag Clips™ video captures.

 

We’re really excited about OnLive’s potential in Europe, and looking forward to kicking it off in the UK through our partnership with BT.

OnLive Coming to Belgium

Immediately upon announcing that OnLive was coming to the UK last week, we began fielding inquiries from others in the European Union who wanted to know where else OnLive will be available on the continent.

 

Today, I’m happy to announce that, through our new partnership with The Belgacom Group, OnLive will be coming to Belgium.

 

Belgacom, the largest broadband operator in Belgium, has made an investment in OnLive, and has partnered with us to deliver the OnLive® Game Service to their broadband customers. Belgacom has the exclusive right to bundle the OnLive Game Service in Belgium and Luxembourg with their other broadband services, but gamers in these countries also will have the option of ordering directly from OnLive through any Internet service provider.

 

Belgium is multi-lingual, so OnLive will be offered in multiple languages there. Since OnLive will support multiplayer games throughout Western Europe, as well as community features globally, game players from different countries will be exposed to different languages as they play and spectate with each other.

 

The experience will be seamless: You might find yourself watching a top gamer playing a version of your favorite game in a different language. And even if you don’t understand what is being said, stealthy and fast-twitch moves alike will require no translation.

 

As with the UK, we have a lot of work to do for our US launch this summer before we are able to turn our attention to Belgium. As we get closer to our European launch, we’ll be sure to share more details and dates at that time. For now, we are very excited about our partnership with Belgacom, and are looking forward to expanding OnLive’s availability throughout Europe.

OnLive hopes to make it to the UK by 'the end of 2011'

"We'll announce further details about our launch plans later this year, but we would hope to make it available by the end of 2011," a British Telecom spokesperson told PCR. BT, who announced this partnership last month, will offer OnLive through select broadband bundles -- it will also be available to existing customers and PlusNet subscribers. "Over time, as consumer broadband connectivity increases and as games become more complex, we expect cloud-based distribution models for gaming to become increasingly attractive and mainstream," the spokesperson added.

 

OnLive is currently set to launch in the US on June 17. Pre-registrants gain access to a free game and free year's subscription. As of now, no such incentive has been announced for the UK.
