On the other hand, I don't see the pricing as a major issue. Once the infrastructure is there, competition will come (GaiKai is already on the way), and costs will level out to whatever the market will bear. Corporate America has never really done streaming games before, but they've been figuring out prices for a long, long time. The money will take care of itself.
Pricing isn't a major issue on the whole, but it is for me. I am unwilling to pay what many people seem to have no problem paying. I don't have cable/satellite, have only mediocre speed internet, I pay as I go for cell phone, do almost nothing that requires membership fees. So in that regard, pricing will be a big deal for me.
Continuing my personal publicity campaign, I remind you all that OnLive launches tomorrow.

Not yet interested, but watching. I'm curious about how game ownership will work. (or not) *NM*

In the worst case, you buy for full price and pay 14.95 to play.

I can see that long-term, but the overlap of games I already own would be a huge rip-off.

Well no, I wouldn't re-buy a game. I almost never play old games, though.

Sales matter when good, under-publicized games don't sell millions, which means no sequels.

I just meant that the actual numbers aren't important. The dollars coming in obviously are.

What's the price that you pay for a new game?

To be fair, I said that was the worst case. We don't really know the pricing model yet.

True, though I'm assuming we do now (it launched a couple days ago, right? )

Me too. When I posted this, I didn't realize it was a phased rollout or whatever.
