Good that the service comes to Europe. It's also worth mentioning, that the center for the service in Europe is in Luxembourg, so Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg should enjoy great connections.
Like this is going to work with UK's snail internet. I wouldn't support this anyway, I dread the digital-only future that's supposed to be ahead of us.
what's funny is that this service is for those who can't afford to buy/build gaming PCs, but the amount of money it would cost per month to afford an internet connection suitable for this, as well as subscription itself, would probably eclipse the cost of even an Alienware PC within 3 or 4 months.
I can't see a problem with this, I played it when it was over in America on my uk internet and it seemed to work fine. Only thing I disliked was not having ACCURATE control over my mouse sensitivity :(
I actually have OnLive for my PC, and I bought Arkham Asylum for like $5.
I still haven't used it...haha, I don't know if I ever will.

If the *game* supports a 360 controller (90% of big titles do), then you can play with it - OnLive just emulates PC games.

This can only be an attractive proposition to people who have never played an online multiplayer game in their life, as they have nothing to compare it to. Then again if I was that bothered I'd find the money for Xbox Live membership or buy a PS3.
Brilliant. I tried the service before using the existing US servers and found that even with the massive distance, it coped fairly well - no keyboard lag and barely a few frames of mouse lag, which for any online game is pretty good. The fact that that was for someone in the UK playing on US servers is amazing; even with simple titles like basic Counter-Strike, a US server typically chucks up a solid second of lag (both keyboard and mouse). I can easily see how once they set up servers in this country properly OnLive will become a fantastic service.
I live in France and i've used onlive many times (it gives you free 30 minutes gameplay for any game as many times as you want) and it worked really well! i was surprised actually. i find it a great way to demo games before getting them.

from playing some of the demos it looks like there is pad support for ALL games, as some are clearly set up for M&KB in the game menu but still work fine with a pad.
i try onlive out every so often, the image quality isn't perfect, and frankly i like messing with my PC so it's not for me.
