I pretty much don't rent games anymore. I feel that demos provide a good enough taste to determine whether a game is worth buying or not. And for games that don't have demos, I'll watch a Let's Play or two. But I'm starting to stray off topic.

I know many people like game rentals. But PS Now will have to cost less than competing rental services. Sure, there's the convenience of instantly playing a game you choose to rent. Unfortunately, the latency, degraded image quality, and inconsistency of real-time streaming will make many games far less enjoyable than if you just rented a disc.

Also, I'm worried that PS Now spells the end of those rumors of the PS4 getting PS2 emulation...

I am just curious to know if you use Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.

I find it very interesting that so many are willing to use those kind of services, but see something like this as a threat or not adequate for their gaming experience. Perhapps, people on these forums are not users of these streaming services? I think I will make a thread and poll about this in around 6 months depending on how PS Now performs in that time.

1. Netflix is 8 bucks a month.  Not 20.

2. Watching video over the internet is very different from playing a game (that was originally designed to be offline) over the internet. If your internet is experiencing problems, it might cause the video to buffer for a longer time.  The movie remains exactly the same.  If you have slow internet while gaming, it could cause any number of issues like dying or losing progress.
