premium video game content on a PC or Mac@ via a Wi-Fi or wired
broadband connection, making the service increasingly convenient and
accessible. The initial rollout of the Wi-Fi feature will be a Beta
program.

"Wi-Fi support has been the most requested feature among OnLive
members, so we made it a top development priority and were able to
roll out a Beta version ahead of schedule," said Mike McGarvey,
OnLive's COO. "We're continuing to add new features and enhance the
service, as well as expand the list of top new release games. We're
also pleased to provide outstanding promotions, such as the 50% off
game sale and the AT&T Founding Members Program, as the OnLive
community continues to grow. Stay tuned for more offerings, new
features and great titles."
