That won't happen. For the love of god stop asking people.

This isn't mp3 or video streaming... this isn't only hard drive read access. PS Now requires a dedicated server blade to run the game for you. EACH and every click... or cycle of the thumbstick action requires the CPU to compute a reaction... and the GPU to compute the frame (30x per second).

If everyone got to play their games for free -- it would clog up the servers for paying customers. It would also bankrupt sony as they need to pay upkeep costs for people that aren't paying upkeep costs themselves.

The closest thing you may get -- is allowing you to play your games for free on PS Now if you are a paying member of the subscription.


^ Did not know that you had your hands in Sony's pockets as to see what they can or cannot afford to pay for. Nor did I know you know EXACTLY how many servers Sony has running currently. My apolegies kind sir..........


Use logic buddy. Its common sense.

Giving you a download (XB1) costs fractions of pennies. Giving you free access to a dedicated server (PS Now) costs dollars.

They would BLEED money giving you free access to a PS Now. Also, supply and demand demonstrates the idea that people would use it -- and they aren't cheap to build (theres articles explaining how they build them). This means that i'd be forced to wait for hours to get a blade to play a game i pay for ... while you are sitting there playing Resistance 2 for free.
