      this is a revolutionary concept.
      Streamed games to any format even android and ipod pad.
      Its brilliant, they also have an offer on of 200 games for two quid only til friday,
      well worth a look games fans, even if you dont pay for it, you get half an hours demo on loads of games including pro evo 2012

      Might have been revolutionary when I created a thread in September  :P

      hey repo, what do you think of it though,
      i tried it a couple of months ago and thought WOW!
      it really is that good. i think ive just lost that two pound offer though, but i am subscribed to blockbuster games tenner a month for 2 games a month.

      this really is very very good though, and this comes from a pc gamer with ps3 xb360 and over 30 years experience playing games.

      I don't like it, you can tell it is streamed by the quality of the picture, it looks a little worse than consoles, but comparing it to PC there is a huge difference.

      I guess it is good for people who can't afford a decent PC, but I would rather buy the actual game and have the options to edit/customise the game to my liking.

      Also, you need a pretty decent connection, and one without a usage cap. Obviously the better the connection the better the quality... I have 100mb broadband and I wasn't happy enough to buy more than three games...

      I'll be honest guyfawkes, I never got round to trying it BUT a friend and colleague of mine did. His review was similar to ATK's, the picture quality wasn't brilliant and had an almost cloudy effect to it. Like you, I'd be tempted just to try games by renting them form Blockbuster. I should try this though.
