OnLive, the console killer?

It wont take off very well. But.. it's a perfectly useful NEXT step for Wii owners. It's easy to use (apparently. Allegedly. Supposedly. heh), it doesnt involve as big an investment for the software companies (DVD/BluRay disc press, fabrication facilities, quality control, blah blah)...

BUT! It'll be hacked so friggin' quickly. A streaming game.. over the net.. they'll stare at the firmware, back up the game data to a hard drive and set up a false server on the local network that the OnLive will be redirected to. Piracy without a mod chip or hardware modification. LOL

I don't think it'll kill the console because of the bandwidth you'd need for multiplayer. It sounds great but I don't think enough people will switch to it. Plus what Torre82min said.

and the constant updates that will stream when the game starts. Ridiculous!
