Gaikai Open Beta Launched with Mass Effect 2

I’m still not sure if I’m buying into live-streaming gaming service Gaikai, but Dave Perry provides a blog post on the beta keys going out in waves from this past Sunday onwards, and the success of the open beta trial so far, as gamers are playing Mass Effect 2 via the service.

We sent out another 10,000 invites and players are currently hitting 15 of our 24 data centers.

No issues have been reported that we can’t fix this month, and so we will continue to send out invite blasts in waves of 10,000 until all issues are fixed.

The game everyone is playing first is Mass Effect 2, it’s the highest rated PC game in the last 12 months and Bioware simply rocks. They’ve been very supportive as has Electronic Arts. The good news for them is we are getting a surprising amount of people clicking “BUY” without even making them a special offer. We are working with lots of publishers / retailers / media sites / electronics makers / telecom companies etc. We have at least 60 deals in the pipe at some stage. (You can imagine how nuts that is to manage.)
