I think this might very well be the future of gaming once the services matures a little bit more.
I can imagine every computer hardware manufactoring companies such as intel AMD and nvidia being really nervous about this, if the service takes off this will cut most of their profits and will most likely lead them to bankruptcy.
Casualties of the revolution I suppose.

If they really get their tech going and could guarantee within reason that a 3G connection would always be available and sufficient (Yea right, but that's allowed since I'm hypotheticalizing here) and then release a super cheap portable with an appropriate pricing plan for the games and connection... I'd be interested.
Perhaps I wouldn't buy one (GOTTA OWN MY GAMES, DANGIT), but having my socks blown off from the sheer calamitous awesomeness, I can deal with.
I could see it being "the future". (Assuming the ability to make awesome graphics in tiny, cheap packages doesn't take off faster) If they got the pricing down. It'd have to be something mind-blowing to make up for NOT OWNING THE GAMES.

Well according to their blog they are working on a game that wouldn't be able to run on most home pc's.
So we'll see where this goes. They apparently have a lot of funding.

I dunno if mobile internet connections would provide low enough latency for streamed gaming. I'm pretty doubtful though.

Make some more box arts damnit!

As of now, probably not. But in the FYOOCHAR, our flying cars will have their own cell towers capable of 1.21 Jigawatts/second download speeds.
