OnLive is an online gaming system that promises to let you play your favorite games whenever, wherever, and on whatever device you want. Now the gaming revolution has a street date: June 17, 2010.

OnLive will be available to Mac and PC users via a browser plug-in that will let them play games hosted from OnLive’s servers. OnLive also promises that public availability of its MicroConsole device, which will let you play games on your TV, will be announced later this year and other devices will be added subsequently. OnLive also allows for multiplayer between all of its users, regardless of platform.

In addition to the hardware and software, OnLive is a service: like other online gaming services, you’ll get gamer tags, profiles, the ability to make lists of friends, and chat—but the kicker is that all of this is done via live video.
