Happy gaming folks.. or shall I say soon.. Happy renting folks.  the wheels have been turned..

Sony is going in that same route with PS Now, subscribing to have access to a pool of content. Which currently they are price gauging because they are 1st place (and thus who's gonna stop them). Now they make decisions for you and remove the option for choice. And you defend them. Huh.

psnow is different.. for the mere fact that it is specifically a service to play an older backlog of games not meant for this new gen.  you say price gouging while not understanding that they are still playing around with pricing models (nothing set).  it's a balance of what titles will be available and what's a fair price point to play them (assuming it's not going to consist entirely of SCE games, they will need pay other devs & pubs for rights to rent out non SCE games).. not to mention, psnow isn't only for the ps4.  As for the option.. yes, it would be nice to have an option, but Sony didn't need it, which didn't bug me.  With what PS+ was already offering and PSnow in the works, I already got/am getting a great value.  Could you say the same thing with XBL Gold?  But go ahead and assume they made a decision for me.  Sony made a decision for Sony..

not all that glitters is gold, ya know.

If you don't think PS Now is the way SONY is heading.. then you aren't paying attention.  It is very much likely that the PlayStation 5 will be just a PS Now device. We could even see this happen later in the PS4's lifecycle. Where new titles for PS4 are released on PS Now. 

Subcribtion models are the way all media/entertainment is heading.. First movies and music..  then games..
