OnLive Game System Unboxing & Overview

2012-01-19
what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and by request we are looking at the on live game system you guys voted for it so let's take a look at it first more unboxings on the way don't worry if you voted for a different product it's coming up soon but let's talk about the on live game system after all this is an exciting product fairly unique in the marketplace in terms of gaming consoles you got the micro console on the left and a controller on the right and my first impressions of this controller that from a size and weight perspective it's very similar to an Xbox 360 controller except for the layout of the analog sticks of course next you've got the micro console damn that thing is tiny unlike the other consoles on the market but after all this is cloud-based gaming so you don't need a ton of hardware on your end a lot of the processing is happening elsewhere we've also got a little bit of paperwork from online including this quick little startup pamphlet that tells you how to get everything up and running you're gonna need to hook up your HDMI cable LAN cable AC of course you're gonna need power and then you're gonna want to insert your double-a batteries into the controller sync it up and you should be ready to get on live now underneath this flap is everything else you need to completely get up and running if you will you've got some cables down here the AC adapter as well as two double-a duracell so you're not gonna have to go out and scramble to find some of yourself I always enjoy when the manufacturer gives you everything you need to get started but something that surprised me here is you also get a rechargeable battery pack if you prefer it's nice to have that option of using either a rechargeable battery pack or doublea's whichever is more convenient for you at the time and that we've also got this power brick a fairly small power brick but when you consider the size of the console you know it should be small right you know you're not gonna expect an Xbox 360 power brick the infamous gigantic power brick so here we've got the cables as well again you're not gonna need to go out and get anything you got everything you need to get up and running right in the package you've got your networking cable as well as your micro USB cable for charging the controller and then lastly you've even got an HD M my cable you guys know I get excited when the manufacturer gives you everything you need including the HDMI cable what kind of a person gets excited about an HDMI cable well I do because this is unbox therapy where we get excited about products right so here's a better look at those cables there it's a fairly long microUSB cable so you can actually probably use the controller while you're hooked up and here's a better look at that HDMI cable as well and here's a better look at the controller this is obviously what it's all about you're gonna be handling this baby more than anything else and I'm actually impressed that first glance this thing feels real comfortable like I said earlier kind of like an Xbox 360 controller you've got your micro USB along the top and this is how your battery pack is inserted as I mentioned earlier your you can use the rechargeable battery pack or you can go with the double a version completely up to you whichever is more convenient I love having that option right there I'm gonna leave the rechargeable one in there for now and as I mentioned earlier very similar to the Xbox 360 controller except for the fact that the analog thumb stick layout is obviously different more PlayStation style so it's somewhere in between a playstation controller and an Xbox 360 controller but from a size and weight perspective it's a lot closer to the Xbox 360 controller a little bit more contoured the way the battery fits in is almost identical they definitely took some of their design cues from the 360 controller if you're comfortable with it you'll probably be comfortable with this now the difference is on the bottom here you've got some controls that you would never see on an Xbox 360 controller including play pause fast-forward rewind and even a record button I believe that's because you can record your gameplay I'll find out more about that later but I'm very interested to see the features and functions of this device after all I have no experience with it at the moment but I do have extensive experience with the traditional consoles so I'm obviously gonna compare the two and probably give you guys some feedback about how it performs what to expect if you're interested in this device as well now on the frame of the front of the micro console you've got two USB ports and what I believe is going to be your power button obviously you're also going to charge your controller via those USB ports and along back you've got HDMI connector a separate AV out I assume that's for probably a cable that you can buy as an accessory if you don't have HDMI you've got audio out as well as optical audio out your networking port as well as your power port fairly straightforward should be easy to set up and I can't believe how small this thing is this would be real cool to travel with bring to your hotel room who knows so anyway guys if you enjoyed this unboxing then hopefully you can like and favorite this video if you want to know more about this on live game console and let me know down in the comments and I might be able to do a review or maybe some gameplay to give you guys a better idea of what to expect if you're interested in the console so if you haven't subscribed yet please do that too and until the next video which should be coming up shortly I will see you guys around the channel alright later
