Speaking with OnLive company head Steve Perlman at E3 2010, he revealed to Joystiq that the TV-based version of OnLive should be widely available by the end of 2010. “When we get to what we call ‘cruising altitude’ — this is the bumpy takeoff — we can introduce the Microconsole. It’s a walk before you run sorta thing. Frankly, this is the quietest — well, it’s not the quietest, but it’s one of the quieter times of the year for gaming — the fourth quarter is the really big ramp up.” It’s his hope that the service will have a chance to become completely stable before going live with the home console.

Now that OnLive’s beta is (kind of) out the door — a “bumpy takeoff” as coined by founder Steve Perlman — the company is talking about its future plans. One of those happens to be a piece of hardware dubbed the MicroConsole  that’ll serve as the link from the service to your TV. Talking with Joystiq at E3, Perlman said it expects to push the device out “by the end of 2010″ and that beta users are already using it. So, when can we get in on that beta?
