OnLive’s streaming PC game technology comes to gamers’ televisions when the OnLive Microconsole TV Adapters begin shipping early next month. Want to see what $US99 buys you?
OnLive’s Microconsole TV Adaptor went on sale yesterday, with units expected to begin shipping the first week of December. It consists of a smallish black box that acts as a go-between for the OnLive service and your television, allowing players to stream PC games directly to the television without need of a PC.
The $US99 device comes packed with a controller that looks a PlayStation 3 controller and Xbox 360 controller had a baby, a power adaptor, a network cable, some batteries for the controller and a HDMI connecter to hook to your television.
This should be all I need to stream OnLive games to my television.
I’ll be testing out how well the service works via the Microconsole during the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Can you at least use your own keyboard and mouse?
