Between the new MicroConsole and this just-announced subscription plan, OnLive is stepping it up. Dubbed the PlayPack, this $9.99 per month plan will feature 40 mainstream and indie titles when it launches on January 15. Currently, the beta version -- which features 14 games -- is free to OnLive game system owners until then.
As expected, the goal is to grow this selection and presumably keep the rotation fresh enough to warrant that monthly fee. OnLive will continue to offer games for sale on an individual basis and essentially function as it does normally.
And, speaking of the MicroConsole, units are now being shipped. If you ordered early, you should be getting your system very soon.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Although, no built in wifi on the micro console renders it pretty fucking useless. Who the hell has their modem next to their TV in the living room? And the roommates wouldn't appreciate a 50ft ethernet cable going from the office to my room. Thankfully I got it for free as a founding member.
Thats cazy, so even if you marathoned on weekends you'll still rack up at least 500 gigs a month, most ISP's will cancel your service for that.
There goes pretty much ANY OnLive sales in Canada. Most services charge a buck or so a Gig beyond 50. Getting a $150 bill for the service to go along with the monthly fee? I don't fucking think so.
If this is true, OnLive is going to fail HARD.
Kudos if you can afford a PS3, 360, Wii, and gaming powerhouse PC, but not all of us can. OnLive is a great service for the moment, and, if properly positioned, could revolutionize gaming.
