Full list of OnLive pricing options

The OnLive service launched in the US last week and with it we got our first look at how much it will cost to access games through the cloud.

The initial range of pricing options includes rentals that last three or five days and an unlimited pass that provides access until at least 17th June 2013 - presumably the length of the current licensing agreements.

Buying a game through OnLive entitles you to access that game for the length of the agreed licence, providing you keep up your OnLive subscription. If you allow that to lapse, you can't access the games again until you rejoin.

The organisers are currently offering free subscriptions for the first year then reduced rates during the second for "founding members".

OnLive is a system that allows you to play PC and console games over the internet without needing fancy equipment, with the games hosted on powerful PCs in a server facility and a video stream of your actions sent to you over the net.

OnLive is due to launch in the UK in late 2011 with help from BT.

Check out the full list of pricing options below, and look out for Digital Foundry's take on the service's real-world performance very soon.
