I think Sony is onto something with PSN Plus and I'll explain why.

All your other issues may end up being taken care of if SONY makes full use of their Gaikai purchase. At that time they could easily create a higher monthly payment service that would allow for streaming of all games across the Playstation catalogue. I would guess in $20/month range and would likely exclude newly released titles. Only adding them after 3-6 month of release in your territory.

Streaming games will take a long LONG time to be viable to everyone. Half of the USA doesn't have fast enough internet connections to stream 1080p at 60fps. I would NEVER pay for a service that I can't get the quality I want. I also like my collection or physicle games more than my digital licenses.

When everyone has affordable fiber internet in their homes I can see streaming games take over, but that is at least a generation away. And by generation I mean a human generations not a console generation.

Right now you have to live in a major city and within close distance to a server farm and have very fast broadband to stream games at the quality expected from a retail game.

You really think it would take that long?

I hope we get pleasantly surprised.
