I second that. I prefer physical copies & yes having just seen the prices for rentals that is way too steep! I didn't pay too much attention to that the first time I looked. Although you can purchase the game from them and play it forever technically you are still renting as you never have a physical copy digital or not. Also if the company goes tits-up you have lost your game.
It's a good idea though for people who don't own high end hardware or want to play on other devices; my nephew being a good example. They have a 5 year old PC and no money to buy consoles or another PC but yet have 50mb broadband.
Majority of PC players though would get a DVD / download copy unless Onlive lower their prices. I bet though in 10 years so called 'cloud' gaming will be more popular.
