The OnLive Value Proposition

by on

OnLive, the video game industry revolutionizer promising to save you from those big expensive consoles, has released some details about their upcomming release. The platform is expected to go live in June and set you back $15 a month plus whatever rental fees you rack up.

That’s about the point where I decided the value proposal was the real vaporware in the equation and did a little maff. With both Sony and Microsoft anticipating lengthy, in the neighborhood of eight year, life cycles, I was curious just many bananas would be tallied by OnLive over that time frame. Turns out it’s around $1440 dollars for just the monthly premium. So much for the bargain.

Full puffery loaded release here.

    The only problem with your math here, is that this service won't last 8 months, let alone 8 years.

    All ready to put them on the death watch, huh? I'm with ya.
