A company called OnLive will be launching a remotely-hosted gaming experience, essentially gaming as a service. Using your normal computer, inputs from the controller are sent to a remote server and graphical output is sent back.
This would all be fairly uninteresting, if it weren't for the fact that they are partnering with high-end gaming companies such as EA, Take-Two, Ubisoft, Epic, and Atari. Even graphically intense games are supported by this system, like Prince of Persia or Call of Duty. All you need is a 1.5Mbps connection for 480p video and 4-5Mbps for 720p video.
This will be quite cool if it works as well as they say it does. More info can be found on SlashGear and engadget. Here's a demo video:
