As much as I want to hate on Gamestop with the rest of you, I actually think this whole streaming thing sounds pretty cool.
I still like Gamestop, I just refuse to sell them anything unless they are doing one of their 30 or 50% bonus deal.
This might be practical for the next-next generation of console gaming - basically, you would buy a cheap "dummy" console that simply streamed the game from a remote location. Definite advantages there- if the hardware for the Playstation 5 is actually located at Sony, upgrading it would be more feasible and wouldn't require an additional purchase on the home user's part. Of course, it puts a LOT of control in the hands of Sony, MS, etc.
On the other hand, I dislike the ideal of using a streaming service on PC. I like being in control of my hardware, and to alter .ini files, use mods, and do other tweaks. Now if I could stream from MY pc to say my netbook... that would be kinda rad...

you didn't mention it in the article, but this service is the reason why they're taking trade-ins for iPods, iPhones, and iPads. they're gonna sell a controller peripheral that you can plug into your respective iDevice and stream games from your home console. it's really a great idea. let's see how well it's carried out...

Square added the code without telling retailers. The correct action would have been to pull the game, though, and they made up for it with a $50 gift card whether you got the code or not. If Best Buy recieved a product with a New Egg coupon in it, they would be pissed to.

This doesn't make sense to me. I can understand owning the game, but why do I need a physical copy? Can't I just buy it from the cloud? We need something like OnLive where you can rent and use GameStop's store credit. That would be killer.
This might just be me (as usual) but that entire quoted statement seems riddled with hidden, confusing, language. Whole damn quoted statement feels like it was badly translated and pieced together in the first place..
Either way I still don't believe Gamestop really had the right to take those onLive codes out of the the Deus Ex games just because they happen to maybe have a service in the pipeline at some unknown launching point.
