Deus Ex: Human revolution, 45$/54$ + Free console or Free game on onlive

[mleejr]

If you pre-order Deus Ex :human revolution through onlive for 45$ then you get Deus Ex game of the year edition. If you pre order the super special 54$ augmented digital edition you get a 44 minute making of video, comic book, art book, some E3 stuff, game sound track and, best of all, the onlive microconsole and controller for free! Great deal IMO.

onlive... wouldnt that lag like a beast? i dont see the point of gaming like that.

Sorry to thread crap but how is this a hot deal? That's the same price as it is on steam and at least with steam you actually "own" your game (you know what I mean). Onlive wants you to pay full price for the "privilege" to stream a lower res, lower detail game and you don't even actually get a copy of it? We won't even get into the lag. No thanks.

The difference is you can take the console with you to a friends house for example and just plug it in to play your games.

Or you can take it with you when you're on a trip and play at the hotel for example.

If you want to play deus ex on a netbook it would be possible also because they scale the game down. It depends on your available bandwidth.

Even on steam you don't own the game. You're paying to license the game. That's why they call it a subscriber agreement and why they can lock your account and take away all your games if you happen to cheat in one.

This is a good deal for the target audience I mentioned above because the console is going for at least $30 on ebay.
