10-Minute Obsession:

OnLive's New Microconsole Gets All Netflixy

Just last night I was telling someone how I didn't think OnLive's new microconsole would have legs, due mostly to its reliance upon a pricing structure that approaches retail levels on its most permanent end.

Of course, as soon as I open my mouth OnLive decides to sweeten the deal with a new monthly  plan for game ststem owners.  A $9.99 monthly fee for unlimited access to the OnLive library is definitely more palatable than the old model.

Now if they'd only make that price point available for all customers.  And beef up the existing library.  Oooo, and figure out a way to get a channel on the Wii.  Imagine the coup that would be.
