PC or Mac(R), and soon on iPad(R) and Android(R) tablets.

    BT is the first internet service provider in the UK to offer cloud-based
gaming to customers through its exclusive partnership with OnLive. BT is the
UK's leading high-speed, low latency broadband provider with relationships
with 11 million households. To mark the launch, BT is giving its 5 million

regardless of their broadband option. BT looks forward to announcing more
exciting initiatives with OnLive in the near future.

Group plc ("GAME"), UK's leading videogame retailer. As the first games
retailer in the world to become a strategic launch partner for OnLive, GAME
will introduce the OnLive(R) Game Service to millions of customers in the UK
and eventually across Europe and elsewhere, starting with GAME's ecommerce
sites game.co.uk and gamestation.co.uk later this year. The OnLive Game
System, OnLive Universal Wireless Controller and OnLive Game Service digital
offerings will then be extended through the Group's 615 UK stores and
integrated with the Group's popular loyalty schemes, the GAME Reward Card
and gamestation Elite card.

    OnLive is a revolutionary new concept in video games, instantly
delivering the latest high-end games on demand through the Internet to
virtually any device, regardless of its performance capabilities, with the
simplicity of streaming video. No console, no high-end computer, no discs,
no huge downloads. Plus unprecedented community features like massive
spectating, Facebook integration, Brag Clip(R) videos and spectating voice
chat, both throughout the UK and across the Atlantic.

    "OnLive is incredibly excited to bring instant-play, on-demand cloud
gaming to the UK," said Steve Perlman, OnLive Founder and CEO. "OnLive is an
entirely new way of experiencing top-tier video games, anywhere, anytime and
on virtually any connected device, whether TV, PC, Mac or tablet, with

seen before. UK gamers, welcome to OnLive!"
