THQ and OnLive did it with Homefront, and now they're doing it again with Red Faction: Armageddon. By pre-ordering the game, you'll get a free OnLive Game System that's fully compatible with the streaming service. Additionally, they will help get your ass to mars by throwing in a copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla.
The landing page for this admittedly rather intriguing promotion can be found here. If you're worried about when Armageddon is going to unlock on OnLive, worry not: it's a day-and-date affair, with the specific time set at 12:10 EDT on June 7.
What did you think of the demo, by the way?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

OnLive needs more deals such as these
I did this deal with Homefront and love the service. I'm thinking about doing it again for this game and gifting/selling the extra console to a friend.
For those who are curious, signing up is FREE and you can play ANY game on there FREE for 30 minutes. The $10/mo playback plan is awesome too.
I'd love OnLive too if I worked for them.
This. I had the same comparison in mind.
