OnLive Won't Launch In UK Until Next Year

OnLive, the games streaming service, won't be released in the UK this year. This is according to British Telecom which recently acquired the rights to publish the service in the UK. A spoke-person for the company commented:

“Over time, as consumer broadband connectivity increases and as games become more complex, we expect cloud-based distribution models for gaming to become increasingly attractive and mainstream.”

“BT is well positioned to help support this transformation. The expectation is that many of the popular games accessible on consoles today will be made available via OnLive. We’ll announce further details about our launch plans later this year, but we would hope to make it available by the end of 2011.”

OnLive will finally be made available in the US after 7 years of development and testing and technology advancements this very month. Hyped for it?
