There's a competitor in The Netherlands too. Maybe that one will work in Germany.

Can't find it. They are still in start-up phase, but their technology is said to work.

Great.  Right when I buy a great PC.   :D

I don't think it will work as well as they are saying but I don't think it will work as badly as the critical (and most likely hardcore PC fanboy) people are saying it will.

this would knock out the "gaming PC" selling and even console selling
they profit alot from this business

Its astonishing, but there must be some twist or catch we dont know about yet.

I dont know about onlive you guys. Its theoreticaly a good idea, but the only people who could play it would have to have unlimited broadband imo and i dont you about you guys but where i live, we have download limits(mine is 40GB a month, but i have more than most, otheres can have around 10GB-20GB).

Yes, upload and download speed could definitely be a problem for onlive.  This could mean it takes a half-second or more before the controls that you input actually happen in the game.  Onlive insists that they don't have that problem, but I'm not sure if it's possible to even overcome that problem because it's a user thing.  They can't fix everyone's internet upload speed.  Right?  We'll see.
