I was just playing around with it for a bit and I have to say that it actually works although sometimes my connection was poor (probley because im in canada) and the video would get a little grainy but other then that i thinks its pretty cool. just need to add more games

It's a great service and works great on a good connection surprisingly. I was able to play some Prince of Persia (bad game pick on my part) and it works. I don't ever see myself using it though since wherever I have a good connection I'll probably have my desktop, which can run the games at full resolution. The stream, while looking great, just doesn't compare to the real thing.

This would be great if I could actually log in.

Anybody else having problems logging in right now?

Hmm, now this whole thing actually sounds interesting. With the positive reviews, and now this, I wouldn't mind using it. But is it a US-only thing right now?

As it stands right now I think it is US-only but they are planning to add support for UK users soon
