OnLive to be built into Google TVs

Report on Eurogamer that Onlive will be built into upcoming Google TVs. This seems to be a major coup for the company.  I’ve just received one of the OnLive microconsoles and a gamepad and I’m on a three month trial – so far I’m impressed by the service and the quality of streaming gameplay. The only thing that worries me about the service is the cost of new games – priced at high street values – because I would rather have a boxed game if its exactly the same price.

I also read recently that Apple’s Airplay may come built into next gen TVs also. Soon I won’t need to buy expensive computers and game consoles if I choose not to – I guess this won’t be a bad thing if the quality of service is good and pricing is reasonable/competitive.
