Will you give it a try?

Feedback:
I personally got a bit fascinated with OnLive (reason why I though about sharing it), I'd like to know what you think about it, if it is a good option to the classic ones or not, if you are thinking about trying it and basically anything that is in your mind about this.
Will this be the future of gaming, the best console ever made or just a dead end in the gaming world?
