So around lask week or so (I don't really remember), it was announced at GDC that "OnLive" would be entering "the game" as a whole new console that would compete against the Big Three.

Severalcomments from the gaming community have been made regarding the new system's feasibility,one being that it takesa fast Internet connection to stream content to an HD TV, which not everyone has access to. Another point, made by one "MrCHUP0N" (http://www.gamespot.com/users/MrCHUP0N/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25645600&om_act=convert&om_clk=soapbox&tag=soapbox;subject;3) explained that OnLive may take away players' control over their hard drives and systems and handle all of the players' problems without having to let customers think and act for themselves. In other words, we'll become a little TOO reliant on tech.

So , fellow Gamespotters, what do you think? What's your two cents on this? I personally love te idea, but I don't like the idea of people losing lots of control over their systems and relying solely on OnLive. OnLive consists of only about 2 pieces of hardware, so that eliminates building an expensive PC. That's great, but what about excercising your mind and doing things yourself?
