Leap Computing offering lifetime 50% off Cloud Gaming PreOrder

[Ryzza5]

 

The headlines from the video (and YT comments) are:

 

* Monthly payments (no lock in contract) that are 50% off if you preorder before launch, for the life of your [continuous] service

* Get full access to the Windows environment, where you can install games and other programs (i.e. Adobe Creative Suite)

* [Game] server hosting and torrenting not permitted

* Select between an 8GB AMD card or 12GB Titan X. Get free upgrades to new hardware as they become available.

* $30 USD gets you 128GB of SSD storage. Add $x/month for more storage.

* Client provides options for high quality, balanced, and low latency.

* Joystick/wheel passthrough

* Use Promo code J2C for an unknown free gift.

 

At $30 per month, it would take years just to pay off a Titan X graphics card, let alone the rest of the system, and compared to other server hosting plans, this does represent good value, assuming this does everything it claims. You just need a PC whose hardware and Internet connection allow you to watch 1080p 60FPS YouTube videos smoothly, essentially.

 

So, are you tempted?

No support for hosting servers puts me off... but at $30~ I might sign up and have a play for just one month to see what it's like. Maybe they just mean that there's no static IP which would make hosting a server more difficult. Or perhaps the virtual PC shuts down when you're not connected to it.

Haven't heard of this before, sounds extremely interesting.. I'd like to know if it actually works. :hmmm:

Actually was waiting for his video on it after he mentioned it on last weeks TechTalk.. I have actually pre-ordered it after watching his video to test it for at least a month..
