The fundamentals of OnLive services
OnLive was first introduced in June. It went with Mac and PC computers at first. Computers don't need extensive processing power as it will stream high-end games to any computer. Instead, OnLive allows high-end games to be played on just about any computer, including netbooks. All monthly fees were taken off of OnLive. Gamers pay for the games they want rather than all of them.
Creating announcements all about the OnLive Microconsole
The new microconsole was announced by OnLive after it was tested a ton on PC and Mac computers. This minuscule console is about the size of your hand. Hooked up to your HDTV and high-speed internet connection, the OnLive Microconsole has about 40 games, and you will find over 100 more slated to appear by the end of 2011. Right now, "Duke Nukem Forever," "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood," "Aliens vs. Predator" and "Borderlands," are accessible on OnLive Microconsole right now Testers have reported a small amount of lag in games, but not so much the games are unplayable.

There are also “talks in the works” to stream more than just games with OnLive — Netflix and Hulu Plus are possibilities. 3D gaming is something the OnLive Microconsole can do. Future gaming will work well with it.
