Sony and Onlive partnering in the near future?

Rumors yesterday have it that Sony will announce sometime during E3 that they will be partnering with a major player in the cloud gaming industry.  Now since Onlive is pretty much the only real cloud gaming company out there, one must assume this is that "major player" that this rumor is referring too.  Is this what Sony has in mind to rescue its sliding profits?

The rumor goes on to say that there will be a number of other surprises at E3 but this one is probably the biggest one.  If Sony partners up with Onlive that could really make the Playstation Vita a contender finally.  Onlive already has its services on android devices and pretty much any computer with an internet connection.  I for one love the service, but I wish that more game developers would get off their high horse and offer their games on this service.  This partnership I am sure would also help Onlive achieve that goal of signing on more developers.

One website online did mention that even though they aren't doing anything in cloud gaming at the moment Gamestop did recently purchase a cloud gaming start up.  Could this be the actual partnership in question?  Everyone knows that digital distribution is the way of the future and merely just a matter of time before brick and mortar game stores are no longer of any use.  So maybe this is Gamestop's way of surviving?  I guess we will just have to wait for E3 to find out if this is true.  OK, I hate waiting.  Is it E3 yet?
