I am sure people said the same thing when Netflix was first starting to stream videos....but, I can tell you, my blu-ray (or DVD) buying days are about over at this point.  Granted, movies dont have the same replay value that a game has...but if you have access to thousands of games, ON DEMAND, 24/7, why would you feel compelled to own any?  The initial 100 titles or so availalbe on PS Now right now are just the beginning.

You do realize that with movies you can pause and wait for the movie to buffer while with games you need an actually good broadband, right? I mean can you imagine needing to time your attacks perfectly and losing to a boss because the game froze? Pretty sure you can't rewind if you miss something or if someone attacks you while you were waiting for the game to respond.


I tried the service, as it is RIGHT NOW, on my internet connection and it was as good as playing natively on my PS3.  

Yes, I get that and that's great. That's not my point, though. If x person has x kind of internet and tries to watch a movie, worst thing that can happen is the movie freezes and he waits a second/an hour depending on the problem or the speed. Then you watch where you left off.

With video games you can't do that. If someone has worse internet than you and tries to play a video game, the experience will be terrible. The character won't jump when you need him to, you want be able to dodge when you're supposed to, etc. Do you still not see the difference? You can't compare movies with video games because the experience is significantly different.
