They dont want to price it too low because they think people are gonna be streaming games 24/7 witch will cost them more $$$ then the subscription money they get but i dont think thats the case at all. How many movies on Netflix do people watch per month? like 5? a game could take 10-20+ hrs to complete like possibly a week or 2 for 1 game Of course none of this matters to me because i still have my ps3 with over 140 physical games (still got my ps2 too) |
It's precisely why a new movie costs $20, while a new game costs $60. You pay more when you get more entertainment. Game rentals have always cost more than movie rentals (well, games vs movies, in general), because they have longevity beyond the 2 hours you spend watching a movie. Whether you go back to the 90s and look at Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, etc. or you look now with Redbox. So it's not really fair to compare PS Now to Netflix pricing and look at it in a bad light. Especially when, right now, it's cheaper than apples to apples alternatives (like Gamefly or OnLive)
