nope cause i refuse to not only pay for those prices to rent games i already own or can own for a much cheaper price then it is to rent it and also i outright boycott any service that forces me to have an always online connection to play single player games

I've also decided to boycott Youtube for not letting me watch videos unless I'm connected to the internet.  It should be illegal.


there is a clearly difference between video streaming and playing a game that is streaming 

with video stream the worst you have worry about is lowing the quality of the video or it having to buffer

with game streaming you would have to worry about all of that plus input lag and having to deal with connection problems in a single player game

so in other words Microsoft was right and we shouldn't have complained about the Xbox One DRM?

Nice non-sequitur there.  Talking about a rental service and comparing it to owning a home console.


but the guy said streaming is the future and in order to stream you would need a internet connection like what you were originally suppose to have for Xbox One games, and what you needed in order to play Diablo 3 on PC and what Ubisoft use to do with their PC games like AC2 was require an always online connection

It's a non-sequitur.  Xbox One was never about streaming anything, it's was the online connection.  You don't own games you rent.  And PS Now's only requirement is that you be online...as you're playing it.  Then again, one would naturally assume such a thing, if you're streaming the game you're renting.

however though i brought up the xbox one was cause someone said streaming is the future which is DRM and the Xbox One was pretty much DRM put into the console and basically was asking so was Microsoft right about it and we shouldn't complained about it and same thing for the people who hated Sim City and Diablo 3 cause of the always online connection they shouldn't have a problem with it cause streaming is the future and like it or no streaming a game is basically the same thing blizarrd did with Diablo 3 and EA did with Sim City



Are there any demos? I want to try out the service but I don't know if my internet can handle it.

Back in my day, I was ecstatic that I could pay $7/5 day rental of any game at my local blockbuster.

Well back in our day (I too grew up renting games at my local BB or other video store) there was more overhead and a limited supply of games available to rent so prices were naturally higher than a digital/streaming model should be. Besides, back in our day, individual games were more expensive anyways. Video game pricing just sucked compared to today. I don't wish a return to those days on anyone.

Sony needs to lower their prices before I would even think about using it which I most definitely want to for some of the classics that reside on PS Now.

Does it work on my Vita?

I think the price is way to high, it should be like 2,99 for a week at most.


You can finish most game in a week easily. Would you mean that most games are not worth more than 3 dollars ?

I guess you´re right. But I rarely can play more than 2 or 3 hours a week, so I guess it is my selfish side speaking.

For example, I just bought BATMAN ARKHAN ORIGINS for my WiiU. I am loving it, but I think that I will take like 3 or 4 months to finish it...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Prices are terrible in my opinion.
I bought that game for $15 new on Wii U (or $18 on PS3) and dont need to rush to finish it.

You were doing fine until the bolded part. The service is an online service. It only exists or works if you are online cause the feed f the game you are playing is being streamed to you "online".

Thats like saying you won't pay for netflix cause you have to be online to watch the movies.

true i could of word it better and i don't mind streaming services as long as they can co exist and at like as an alternative to phsycal media though mainly for TV Shows and movies espically for those i can't always buy every new movie or TV show season that comes ou on Blu Ray and DvD. i just don't see the point of streaming a game and espically get mad  when people say streaming games is the future and that physcal games and download games will die since playing a game is far different then just watching something that is why it annoys me so much when people say streaming is the future cause while this maybe true for Movies and TV Shows espically since Netflix is making their own original content like the Marvel Netflix shows. but this is basically the definiton becareful what you ask for.
