Sony's available games are better as they span from PS3 to PS2, but yes, the fact that you dont have to stream is a tremendouus asset. 

The idea of the streaming thing is you don't even have to own a Hard Drive to play it, until recently you could use the service through a TV and only a TV.

That's not saying this product MS are offering won't be good but all services have their benefits. If streaming was such an issue for people, Netflix would never have been successful. 

Well netflix is also different, I am way more open to streaming series than I would games. Using netflix on my smartphone is a big plus when I am on the road and we have one account for my family so I also end up paying like 2 Euro a month. My biggest fear would be streaming a game and having an internet hiccup and forgetting when wast he last time I saved my game ^^'.

So for a single price point, you can rent a game for a month or until the game you are renting is shuffled out from the catalog. Did I got that right?

Why not actually just giving the same games to Xbox Live instead? Why paying two subscriptions? 15$ a month if you wanna enjoy these free games and still play online (like the Halo 5 they are showing).

Whats your view on Playstation Now? 

same opinion thats why its also failing, although the porpoise of PSNow was something else 



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

True. Which is why comparing all these services is pointless. Imagine if you paid for this, Xbox Live to play the games online and EA Access (because EA games won't be in this), then you also own a PS4 (but didn't own a PS3) so you pay for PS+ and PS Now sub.

... You're one rich bastard.



Hmm, pie.

I'm in the Preview Alpha build and this is free. Out of all the games in the preview, I have all of them except 4. 😏 This service really doesn't have any value for me. I buy games when they are cheap or on sale. I might cancel EA Access too. Would rather own at cheap than rent.

This would probably be good for people that live in their mother's basements.

How am I not in this?!?

Did you get an email invite or something? I'm an Xbox Insider and I'm pretty active. What gives?

I think I was in Beta. I was probably a Master Beta. 😏 Then I stopped being active in Preview, because Pokémon Go. One day I come home to my Xbone having a different UI layout and I'm like "Cool". Then I try to snap TV and I'm like, "Fuck that!!!". So I blasted their lack of Judgement and wouldn't let down. I trolled them hard like I do here. Calling them bitches and wannabe boring UI like other consoles and they have no backbone. Always pulling 180s. Blah blah blah. Then I find myself in Alpha. I guess all my trolling of Xbone on here has payed off and when it came to really confronting the man, I used that skill set to battle the dungeon master. Maybe they just like reading my troll comments and wanted to see more of it. So now, I'm in Alpha. 🙄

no, for $10 you're renting over 100 games a month.

This is really awesome for people who are okay with digital. If I was I'd go for it

You have to be active, give feedback so you get higher levels, basically if you are somebody living in your mother's basement you get in ;)

I guess so. I noticed your Insider score was waaaay higher than mine, weeks ago. I was like "What gives? I do missions. I answer surveys. What more can I do?"

 

So now I have to figure out what more I can do! At least I got the new dashboard so that's something I guess.

I don't have to imagine. This is my reality.... Aside from being rich, that is.

 

Oh, and I don't have PS Now because I do have a PS3.
