It can be played on any ordinary TV with the use of an inexpensive MicroConsole™, or an ordinary PC or Mac. It means gaming when you want it and where you want it. The Onlive MicroConsole™ that is about the size of a deck of cards easily connects to any TV and is operated by an Onlive wireless controller. Ordinary PC or Mac can also be used to play games in Onlive via a small browser plug-in from OnLive.com.
