PSVita competition and OnLive

4? what am I missing? I thought we where at 3 and a bunch of dreamers (like onlive, who if you beleive net traffic is taking a big hit as they are shutting servers down not putting in new ones like they bragged about in july last year).

Have you used onlive more Bill? They just sent me a 12 month free and 2 games offer, im tempted.

I was referring to what we know of as the "Wii U" as the fourth console. So that's four consoles and a 3DS armed with all the franchise games revealed at E3 that the PSVita has to compete with, not to mention all the smartphones and tablets (some of which are from Sony themselves). It's going to be a tough road for Sony with the PSVita, but at least they got two things right so far--the hardware is well done and the price point is reasonable.

As for OnLive, yep, I've used it more, though mostly on the OnLive console. Actually, I recently pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever through OnLive and got a free second console as a bonus, which I wanted for the controller (that's a better deal than just buying a second controller, even though I could technically use a 360 controller). They're regularly giving away the consoles free with game pre-orders. Definitely worth it if you have a wired connection by your TV (I'm using a powerline LAN connector for that area, which works well). I only own two games so far if you don't count the Duke Nukem Forever pre-order, Trine and Borderlands Game of the Year Edition. I haven't bothered subscribing to the PlayPass due to lack of time, but I'll probably get around to it when I do have time. I played several hours of Trine and loved it. No performance hiccups and just like playing locally. It really is a great service, and it's nice to see them expand into the UK (I see Mark is on it too, though I'm not sure how he's using it).
