Do you remember Sega Channel?
I remember they had it in Charleston when I was in grade school. The cable company gave you a "game" (the thing you stuck into your sega to play) that had a receiver for a cable line. You then had access to something like 50-70 games in varying genres. I think every month they kind of offered new games and took off some off the less popular ones. Can't remember how much it cost per month and why it ultimately failed but it kind of was a cool idea for the time.

I don't think they're going to get away from consoles anytime in the near future. They'd need much faster connection speeds for something like that to work. I think if somebody tried to do that now they'd lose their shirt.

Don't they essentially do that in hotel rooms? I've never actually played a video game in a hotel room, but I know that I've been in rooms that have controlers. I just assumed that the games were on some sort of system or through the cable provider.

Yeah, but I think those games are shitty.

I think if somebody tried to do that now they'd lose their shirt. Not to mention the increasing propensity For ISPs to cap both speeds and total data downloads.

I played doubles tennis with three of my friends the other day. It was fucking intense.
