I'm really not liking the growing trend of "hold back the PC version." I know it's been beaten to death for a while, but daaaaang is it sigh-worthy when I ASSUME multi-plats to be held back on the PC and not be released at the same time. Nor even in the same year when applicable. Plus: lol drm of course.
Sigh.

Your situation in a nut-shell: you have a single fast gaming PC, not so great internet. You have the option to choose between no input lag and perfect 1080p video, vs. some lag and 720p streamed video. It's clear local gaming is better for you, no arguments there.
However, I see OnLive as something for the future. I can see it being more mainstream than PS3/360 are now in 5 years, especially once they work out some deals with ISPs ($10/mo for unlimited OnLive, etc.) and get some bigger publisher support. Imagine if Sony or MS buys them.
As time passes, more and more ppl will have outdated computers, and hopefully better internet. You have no idea how cool and futuristic it feels to play a top end PC game on a thin 13" MacBook Air over WiFi, without any heat and fan noise.
