Actually thinking about it PS Now only really makes sense on non-PS devices. People will be far more willing to pay for games they never owned in the past and have no hope of every playing except for the existence of PS Now. OTOH PS owners will always be able to bitch about the fact that PS Now is a shitty and expensive alternative to backwards compatibility. |
The pricing isn't set in stone and the service is still in beta...I am VERY interested in PS Now IF they 1) allow me to play my previously purchased digital games without additional charges, 2) allow me to purchase (not rent) new games, 3) offer a subscription service (which they are apparently "working on").
I will also add that the service is not "shitty". It IS overpriced, but the service itself is GREAT. I litterally could not tell the difference between playing on PS Now on my PS4 and playing the game natively on my PS3. No lag, no pixelization of graphics, it just worked, and it worked WELL.

Compared to backwards compatibility anything for which you have to pay to be able to play a game you already own is shitty and expensive, no matter how good or reasonably priced the service.

Not sure what your overall point is...I admit that their pricing needs work, and one of the things I am hoping to see once it exits BETA TESTING is the ability to play the games I have already purchased on PSN without being charged again. However, MY point is that, TECHNICALLY, the service is incredibly great...the pricing is still being "worked on", but there is nothing at all wrong with the service itself. If they give me access to my library of games, I have no issue with putting my PS3 in a box in the closet and using PS Now instead.
