I can't wait. I'm going to fire up the console around 9:00 or so.

It was only a matter of time before OnLive had to introduce changes to their marketplace. Now with over 130 games on the service, it has become increasingly difficult to find games that you wish to play. Today, OnLive added categories to the marketplace, as well as the ability to search for particular games. Gamers now have the ability to view games by categories such as “Featured”, “Specials”, “New Releases”, “PlayPack”, or by Genre. The can also type in a search for a particular game in order to play it.
This is certainly a welcome site to gamers that have become tired of endlessly scrolling through the long list of games.

Today at PAX, cloud video game service OnLive has a display which includes a game that no one expected to be coming to the service. Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is on display at this year’s PAX event, located in the OnLive booth. It is coming to the service sometime in the near future.

Super Street Fighter IV is a game that was released back in April of 2010 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo 3DS. The game from publisher Capcom, will certainly be one to test OnLive’s virtually nonexistent latency.

While we have no word of the release date on this game, we expect it to be sometime in the near future.

Good news, I guess, but I'm kinda skeptical. Sure, Onlive only has very little input lag, but that little amount can be enough to fuck you over in a match.

I'd like to see it in action as well. I'm not much into Street Fighter, but I will definitely try the demo just to see if there is any lag.

I just realized tomorrow is Friday...I was off work today, so my days are screwed up

I'm guessing those aren't the only deals this weekend. OnLive usually has holiday sales.
