[/img]OnLive wants to be the Netflix of video games, that much is
clear, and today it's rolling out a flat-rate monthly pricing plan
called PlayPack to help seal the deal. It'll cost $9.99 a month when
it launches January 15th, giving subscribers access to a back catalog
of forty retired and indie titles, including a number of games
entirely new to the OnLive service. What's more, if you bought the
company's $99 MicroConsole, you'll get access to that entire flat-rate
catalog free until the formal launch, meaning you'll have fourteen
full games instantly ready to play the moment you boot it up. OnLive
founder Steve Perlman tells us you can pay month-to-month and cancel
PlayPack anytime you want, and OnLive will still store your savegames
for a full year in case you decide to rejoin -- or if you want to mix
and match flat-rate and a la carte titles without losing your precious
progress. So, when are those MicroConsoles going to arrive? If you
were among the first to buy, you could get yours this very afternoon,
and Perlman says there are "thousands and thousands of boxes" shipping
right now. PR after the break.
