Besides new members being able to unlock their first full game for $1, OnLive is highlighting daily deals on its Facebook page. Today's bargain is 75% off Just Cause 2, bringing the full game down to $5. The Frag Feast's free and cheap titles last until Nov 28, and are available only within the contiguous United States or the United Kingdom, where OnLive's just launched. UK players envying your trans-Atlantic cousins' orgy of poultry and gratitude, you finally have a pre-Christmas celebration to feel a part of. Be thankful for that.
