It might be the standard on the continent, but it most certainly is not in Britain. I myself only have a 4MB connection (at best), and my area is not even the worst, many can hardly receive 1MB!

OnLive might sound like a good idea on paper, but as we all know, the reality is often very different. Personally, I do not like the sound of such a system at all. If it should become the norm for future games, it's back to the classics for me, never to return.
