What part of streaming to PS4, PS3, Vita, and Sony TVs instantly aren't people getting? You know server maintenance for that isn't free, right? And what part of "You can rent a game for $10 for a month" aren't people getting? That's overpriced? To have 2 games out at any given time for Gamefly is $22 or $23, I believe, and you have to wait on shipping, which is (from what I've read) 3-4 days. Not to mention, games are queued up for rental (there isn't an infinite supply), so if it's not available, you're not getting that game. For $20 on PSNow, I can get the same games INSTANTLY for the month. How much is Redbox? $2/day? So $14 dollars for 7 days vs. $8 for 7 days via PSNow. I fail to see how these things are way overpriced. But no, ignore the practical options that are available, and only focus on $5 for 4 hours to yell out "overpriced". If looking at other rental options and seeing similar or lower prices on PSNow and thinking that's good is "blind", well then I'm as blind as Ray Charles in a dark cave in a black hole. The day that $8 for 7 days is overpriced, but $14 for the same time period isn't overpriced, kindly kick me in the nads |
You have to remember that as long as Sony is on top, anything they implement (or dont implement) will be critizied. Luckily, people rarely follow the craziness/stupidness that you constantly find on user forums and alike.
The marketplace will determine whether PS Now is viable or not. If it is a service people do not want, they will not pay for it. I suspect that Sony haters are up in arms because people will be willing (on their own individual merits) to pay for the service, making their cries mute. Don't worry levelheads tend to prevail in these type situations.
