A program called onlive exists, and it really doesn't take up much hdd space... its a game portal, pretty much the video game equivilent to windows media center, you can watch people playing games live, which is awesomely creepy,while watching you can "cheer" someone (thumbs up) or "jeer" them (thumbs down) based on how good theyre doing.yo can record brag videos, which is exactly what it sounds like. and you can play demos and buy official, big name games, like just cause 2, fear 2 project originl,world of goo, and its all hosted online, so as long as you have internet, you have the game with no installation and without taking up any hdd space, there is a friends and pm system, a profile system, and a dashboard that reminds me alot of the xbox's dashboard, and has native support for gamepads. as of right now, the marketplace is very cheap (about 10.00 us dollars per game, or 2.60 us dollars to rent the game for three days) however, it doesn't have very many games. And finally, it looks extremely asthetically pleasing, but has no theme support. Heres the website, if your interested.

Theres no lag, idk what latency means, but i was running it on my pos computer with a linksys usb wifi madjigy and only 67% connection status but it was still running perfectly smoothlike, the server prevents lag by reducing video quality a little
Latency = delay. Eg, you press a key, and it takes a short delay for your visuals to update.

Ah... i call that ping, well sometimes in the main menu, since there are so many videos playing in the background you have to wait a little, only annoying if you have fast fingers, my sister didnt even notice, but i was like
AAAAHHH! but its not like you have to wait a whole second in any case.

ping is not as accurate a measure as latency is
I´d give it a go if my net wasn´t so chocolatety.
