| Puppyroach said: Let me get this straight: so with PS Now you pay a subscription for individual games that they make available to stream from Sonys servers? And with EAA you pay a subscription fee for a number of games that they make available through MS servers? So the difference is mainly the streaming part? :) |
EA Access is a subscription service which allows you to download and play 4 games, as well as limited 'demos' of games and discounts off EA games. Their servers probably just hold the download file for the games and the login process. This service is only available on Xbox One
PS Now is is a streaming service where by you essentially rent the ability to play a game (just 1 if you want) from a remote location, the game is not downloaded and you play the game from Sony's servers. This service is currently to be released on PS4, PS3, Vita and Sony TVs. You just need a controller.
EDIT: I can't believe I'm actually having to explain this to people.
Hmm, pie.
