Weird. I didn't get that email. That was one game I was interest in since I haven't played it yet. I'm gonna go check it out now.

Crap, I'm too late according to the times listed in the email and I can't connect anyway b/c apparently my connection is crappy right now. I keep getting this error:

> We have detected a high latency connection to the internet that may result in slow responsiveness.

Apparently I can't click through it as my only option is to Quit.

Oh well. I guess I'll go turn on my Xbox 360. So far I'm glad I'm not paying each month and haven't paid for any games. If I had and wasn't able to play right now, I'd be pissed.

I got the email on Friday. Their website blog didn't have anything on it. Facebook/Twitter listed it, but did not give the code. Be patient, I have a feeling they're will be more sales. Forth of July weekend, they had a bit 30% off sale on just about everything. If push comes to shove, you could do a rent playpass for three or five days. With my work schedule, that just don't work for me.

I got it though. I figure for $20, I'd try a more full OnLive experience. OnLive is cool when working, but it can be finicky. I'm lucky, I suppose, one of the data centers is less than 100 miles away, in Palo Alto. I assume it's the same one you're using too Peench. And I do all kind of stuff you're not suppose to like using via WiFi (using work around since OnLive has it disabled, but is suppose to come in the coming weeks) use a wireless 360 controller. Heck, part of the time some one in the house will be watching Netflix instant watch.

Yeah, I would have picked it up for $20 for sure. That was one that I was interested in playing. With my work schedule a short time frame won't work either. I'll keep my eyes open and hopefully it'll come up again. I tried last night to connect, even disconnected my modem and router and let em sit for a while to no avail. It still wouldn't let me connect to Onlive. Not sure what's up.

have you tried connecting the PC directly to the modem? Everything adds to the latency. If it's still does it, you're out of luck. If not, then it could be the router or something adding just enough to cause problems.

Nah, I haven't tried too much since it was all working fine not too long ago (when I first signed up for example). If it keeps up I'll look more into it.
