Default Holy crap... WE BETTER GET THIS!!

this is a game changer in my eyes, not so much because EVERYONE has onlive or will get it, but because apple can advertise that there tablet can do these things,
and its pretty FREAKING awesome!

Calm down, it's also available for Android, and it was already available in the Flyer for quite some time now (HTC invested heavily in OnLive back then)
It's a really great idea but right now there is not many games and it is limited to very few country

And Apple doesn't advertise something that's not made by Apple.
They buy it, rebrand it, then they advertise it.

Ya no... this has LAG written all over it. If you've seen people play BFBC2 and Black Ops from their Transformers 1 using remote desktop... it's essentially the same thing. MOST games would be totally unplayable :/ BUT it is a cool idea!

Default Android version will be better

Android version will allow in-app purchases, and probably controller support will be better. And having 4 cores on the Prime means there will be enough cores to handle video, network and game controller data.

But no need to overhype it. Even without lag/offline issues, games designed for a 20+ inch display are hard to play on a <10 inch tablet. Probably get sniped and never see who shot you. LOL

Games like Fallout and Skyrim need a large screen to make out the detail and find stuff. And in RTS games, units will be way too small. The eye strain is gonna be seriously bad.

IMHO, games designed for a tablet with proper (i.e. bigger) fonts and objects are better. But I guess people want to know it's _possible_ to play PC/console games on a tablet, even if it's not any good.

Unless you have 10ms or less ping to their server there will be noticable lag. How noticable depends on your preferences (and on type of game). I think you could still play without much problems with ping up to 50ms or sth though.
