Well I'm glad Sony doesn't require always on for PS Now for their Cloud solution. Ohhh wait... You need to be always online to read the Cloud. Silly me, but it's ok if Sony does it. Boooo M$ always online Cloud.


What MS tried to do and what Sony just happens to be doing with PS Now are two completley different beasts. MS wanted you to be alwasy online to force DRM down our throats and having the games "phone home"! With PSN now there is no other way the service will work so yeah... That's how streaming works :-p 


exactly, also PS Now is an optional service that just happens to be on PS4. Its also on ps3, some tv's and vita. You can't stream any other way except for internet.

If you want to play a game, the native feature of an xbox one, on a xbox one it is heading towards most if not all games requiring you to sign in.

So if your internet is down, or microsofts servers are down, that single player is effectively unplayable because it relies too heavily on the cloud.
