Well... Gamefly has a subscription service for $16/month for one game which u can send back anytime and get another one or $22/month for 2 games at a time. The benefits of it is that you dont have to rely on the internet connection to ensure your experience which will be flaky for a lot of people who don't have good internet connection. 

Now, I know that psnow has a subscription service now but do we know the prices? And I think relying on the Internet is gonna be a big issue for a lot of people imo

PSNow sub is $20/month or $45 for 3-months and grants unlimited access to all PSNow titles.

Gamefly is great, but it requires waiting 2 days between games and game availability. This service is a very good value since the games are granted instantly. Don't like the one you're playing, then just instantly swap to something else with zero wait time.

Some people in here are complaining about the slection of titles being older, but they must understand that unlike us the general population does not play games and blow through them in a week or less, plus they tend to play a little and hop to something else. Many people have not played many of the titles available on the service and for the price the value is great. I hear these games also come with all DLC added in.

Well, I do understand the benefits of psnow and what it could potentically be capable of but my issue with it is that it heavely relies on "third party" in order to give its experience and I really do not think that a lot of people's internet speed is that good in order to do so. If we look at netflix's data for example (this is just streaming movies btw, netflix doesn't need to worry about input or anything like that which psnow does) we see that the "fastest" average speeds for the popular isps in the US is ~3mbps. Now, according to Netflix's stream quality recommendation list, 3mbps = SD quality like 360p/480p... In order to get HD 720p quality, you need at least 5mbps. So you can kinda see where my issue is coming from because yes, psnow has benefits but idk if most people will use it just due to their internet limitation. If it takes off, great! But I feel as though it has a lovely hill to climb before it can do that
