Ok and you are leaving out the people with low internet speed (below 5Mbps) streaming games is the last thing they want to do as it can cause major lag issues. I would never choose digital over physical but I would if prices were much cheaper. In this case it really isn't and on top of that its online only. You are not understanding my point of view here. If I can get the same game on PS now and in store or online (amazon) I would go for the physical copy since I don't have to be always connected. Internet is not 100% reliable so when its down then I can't play the game I played for. If there is a subscription based deal like I stated already then this would make PS now a much better deal. 

I really cannot believe that you still aren't understanding that PSNow is targeted at people who don't have the hardware. PS Vita, PS4, Sony TVs, Vita TV, Sony Tablets.....you can't choose the physical disc when you don't have the hardware to play it on. That's the point of it. If you have a PS3, DUH PS Now isn't a wise investment.

And also, actually, you have to do a connection test when you go into to PSNow. If you're connection isn't good enough, it won't let you stream. Maybe kinda dickish for people who don't have good internet...but that is taxing on their servers (and you're the people screwing up online games anyway, lagging up connections lol)

But, would I be wrong to assume that if you have Sony's overpriced Smart TVs, a $200 Vita, $100 PS TV, $400 PS4, etc....you know, expensive devices that are online heavy, you'd have a decent enough internet connection to actually use them? I mean, you obviously have the means to afford those items. Presumptiously of me, because they could be gifts or items that were saved for, but as a person that got a PS4 because I wanted one so I bought it....I knew to have an internet connection capable of making my experience enjoyable with it.

No thanks! I rather go out and buy a ps3 which are much cheaper now and will only continue to get cheaper from now on. Or if I wanted to buy one dirt cheap then I would go out and buy one used. Those are found everywhere and I can do the exact same thing....buy these games used for cheaper and not deal with this online only deal = problem solved!

Internet speeds will not vary based on how much money you have. Its all on what is available in your area. Some areas have weak internet speeds and if you live in one of these areas then this service will not work for you.
