Console-less streaming service OnLive launches Beta

The console-less gaming solution OnLive has entered its Beta phase.

OnLive, which streams games to your television without the need for powerful hardware, has entered a public Beta.

Users can sign up for the games-on-demand technology on the OnLive website, with the company's founder and CEO Steve Perlman announcing:

"I'm very excited to say that we are now opening the OnLive Beta to outside gamers who signed up on our website," he said.

"It's not too late to sign up if you haven't already. We are very much looking forward to hearing from gamers all about their experience with the OnLive Service.

"One of the key challenges that OnLive technology addresses is providing a high-quality, fast-response gaming experience over a wide range of situations: different speeds/locations/types of broadband services, a variety of different PC and Mac configurations, several kinds of input and display devices, etc. So, a major focus of OnLive Beta is to test as many of these different situations as we can."

OnLive isn't the only streaming gaming service in the works, with Playcast, which only requires an ordinary set-top-box, being announced earlier in the year.
