1) We don't know pricing exactly but i believe trailers and demos all comes as apart of your monthly service charge since you still have to be using their servers. So the answer is no from a logical stand point.
2) Once again, no one knows - hasn't been revealed yet. The monthly cost wont be too much i don't think, they said it will rival XBox live's pricing system.
3) No one knows haha =]
4) You NEED an internet connection to play OnLive, its impossible without it - but if you mean will there be online games; yes - Crysis Wars is a completely multiplayer orientated game.
5) Unforutnatly no, 2MB/S is 480p at its maximum with no lag. For 720p you will need a 5MB/s connection or higher.

I actually remember hearing that some game companies will release beta versions of their games before they release the real thing. This means that if you have Onlive, you will be able to play the Beta version of the game for free before your friends are able to play it on their Xbox, PS3, etc.

This would be awesome!

Yea ^_^ I mean, obviously trailers and demos and, if you are selected, betas WILL be free so after you've got your subscription: You've already got countless hours of entertainment before you even buy your first game =D

Q 1 is yes, Q 2 hasn't really been answered yet, hopefully they will reveal more about this at E3. I am not sure what you are asking with Q 4, but the whole premise of onlive is that you will be playing online with other players. Q 5 is no, you need a 5 mbps connection to play Hi-Def.

Alright, Q1, yes it is free but you must have a current subscription.

Q2 and Q3, like alex said no price has been set.

Q4: currently no, you cannot play with PC users but yes, you can play with other OnLive players.

Q5: "Max details." Since OnLive is running on cloud processing, the games will always be on max details no matter what resolution. Also, games will be in Widescreen up to 720p for a 4-5mbps connection. 1.2-1.5 for Standard Definition
