I use onlive now and love it. It'll be interesting to see Steam enter cloud gaming.

I heard it, and im against it, consoles only cause problems IMO. Just look at the major games that got relesed the past year, all of them where just tuned downed console ports with a bad GUI for us PC users. I hope it's just a rumor, and if it's not, I hope that valve will not just focus on the console but make the games with us PC players in mind to

I'm pretty sure it's a cloud gaming console(but I might be wrong) which means nothing is 'toned down' for console port. Your playing the game in all it's high end glory, streamed to you from their rigs.

If it isn't a rumour, then I hope it is a cloud console. I'd personally never use one, but I would like to see some more competition in the cloud gaming market. If it's good enough, I may give it a chance (depends on game selection, how immediately available the games are, how well it plays, and pricing.)
