Cloud-based, full-res 3D video games!



OK, that's insane. Forget Playstation 3. Forget Xbox 360. Forget Wii. Forget PC gaming.  These guys could make hardware upgrades and game piracy extinct.
OnLive by Rearden Studios is bringing full no-latency video gaming as-if-native-on-your-desk -- only NONE of the hardware crunching the graphics is on your desk. Instead, your computer (even a $700 budget PC, or a super-cheap microconsole that probably will cost the same as a Wii or less) acts as a dumb-terminal that happens to have insanely fast video and no-latency input from your mouse / keyboard / gamepad. All the hardcore graphics hardware is in the cloud on OnLive servers.

They have signups for Beta users for this summer. More on Kotaku...
