Read about this on the other day. The breakout box seems to be all you need plugged into the TV, USB and HDMI are included on it, and a small processor for decompressing the video and sending key/mouse input back to the server.

I can't see how it can make money though? lots of online games have failed by only having a few hundred players per server.
Surely this would need one (high end) server per player?
At best I suppose you could have a quad core CPU and quad core GPU serving four players each. Very expensive however.

Anyone know how else they would do it? You can't rack mount these giant heat pumping GPU's either.
