Interesting article on Yahoo! about the Onlive cloud system for playing higher end games on lower end computers. As someone with a fairly low-end cpu, the idea is intriguing – as someone with a 360, Wii and PS3, I’m firmly in the corner of having hardware that just plays games under optimal conditions. Probably not for me, but interesting all the same.

Got my Wii back. The first round of the process did not go so smoothly – my UPS shipping label never arrived, so after about 10 days I flagged them down. The next one got to me 2 days later, it was shipped out, repaired and back 3 days later. So that time the process ran about a week. Having picked up a handful of new Wii games, including one for the kids for Christmas, I’m rather hoping to roll out some Wii reviews again soon. Spent some time tonight playing Wii Sports Resort tonight with my son, rebuilding Mii’s and fiddling around with Dr. Mario Online Rx. Good times. 🙂

Not sure specifically what was wrong with the Wii – they replaced the whole thing it looks like, so it must have been a fairly major failure. Still, $85 shipped, replaced, with a 1 year warranty isn’t too bad – and I had heard horror stories about how ds’s and wii’s could be tough to get your downloaded games back onto. It wasn’t bad at all, they associated the new machine with my old, and my prior downloads list was on there, so Mario Party, Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantasy, Pokemon Rumble and more simply had to be downloaded. Perhaps the biggest bummer was the loss of the save data. Makes me want to start using the SD card and see if that’s a bit more reliable since between this and my daughter accidentally reformatting it this summer, we’ve had to rebuild our Smash Bros. and Mario Kart data for the 3rd time now.
