Ah, I didn't get the point that you have to pay for the game license. I thought it was something like a Netflix for games.
That would be a deal-breaker for me.
Thanks for the clarification and explaining the downsides.
Many wouldn't apply for me (my latest console is a PS2, for example), but certainly the non-availability in my region is probably a given, and having to pay for each game is the deal-breaker for me (unless the price is minimal/equivalent to a rental).
1. Buy the game outright (or until OnLive folds ;-)
2. Rent the game for a short period
3. Buy a bundle (the 'Play Pack') which gives you access to a huge list of indie or older games for a pretty low monthly cost). They are a mixed bag. Some old A-list games, some really interesting indie games and some junk.
That would be a deal-breaker for me.
