Vizio including OnLive in new TVs, Blu-ray players, more
Just in time for CES 2011, OnLive has announced its parternship with Vizio to include its cloud gaming service inside of Via Plus HDTVs, tablets, smart phones, and Blu-ray players. The company was quick to point out that as OnLive data centers are upgraded over time, performance increases, and how that makes TVs -- devices we tend to hold onto for years -- a smart fit. Of course, the flip side of this is something bad happens down the road and your Vizio set now has an unusable app. I personally don't see that happening anytime soon, though. Lastly, OnLive is partnering with SRS Labs to deliver 5.1 surround sound to "compatible" devices, which means TVs, Macs, PCs, iPad, Android, and "similar mobile devices that can tap into a broadband network."

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)And that is how you compete against consoles, including them in the TVs that people are going to buy anyway. I dunno how well it'll catch on, but if Onlive can end up being to videogames what on demand is for movies, that could definitely work. Vizio has really been making a name for themselves as a better budget TV. It's a shame that the speakers are pretty awful in their LED sets. Their LED's are super nice, but you NEED a soundbar or speaker system if you go that route. I picked up the Vizio 26" LED M261VP to use as a computer monitor and it's gorgeous. I just paired it with a cheap $30 Logitech speaker system w/ woofer. Fucking love Vizio. Affordable HDTV's that are just as good as the more expensive ones. Having OnLive built into a TV is almost as cool as Sony selling Bravia's with built in PS2's. Almost. Anyone get in on the onlive beta? My friend did. It's freakin' addictive to watch that live feed of some fool playing, and shout your lungs out at how crappy he is!
