| BenVTrigger said: I meant it more in terms of yes its not fair to compare the pricing models. PSNow Sony is dealing with many different 3rd parties on how the streaming will work, what they want to price their games at, what other companies are pricing their titles at, they are providing the streaming so have additional costs there as well. EA Access is litteraly just EA offering a Sub to download games / DLC from MS's Marketplace for cheaper pricing / early access. There is very very little cost to them and they have no rivals in their own service to try to gauge their pricing on. MS also is taking very little cost as they already have these games / DLC on their Marketplace. Its a very different situation, though I am sympathetic to the idea that PSNow pricing is FAR too high. |
I honestly don't care what they price PS Now at, because I'll never have a need for it...have my PS1-3 around the house, and I won't be getting rid of them anytime soon. I still think PS Now is simply for people who don't want a standalone console at home, but have a laptop/PC/Smart TV/Phone etc...
Still, I compare them in this case, because Sony can look at that model and then work from there with regards to their pricing/service. Yes, it's streaming versus downloading, but that doesn't mean they can't take the flat rate for just download/own and add a certain percentage to cover streaming costs.
