i just want a sub that allows my previously purchased games to be cross buy with psnow.

I'm a huge supporter of this. Make the PSNow sub grant you access to all your PS3 games that are on the platform in addition to their sub libarary.

Problem is - Microsoft just made this a PR nightmare.

Sony: "Hey guys we are proud to announce that we are giving you access to your existing digital PS3 library as an added benefit of the PS Now Subscription."
Microsoft: "Ha - Forgot those guys, we offer you the game OFFLINE for FREE. Forget that our library is smaller and requires you to be on a XB1 specifically ... its FREE!"

Oh boy... how do you come up with this nonsense?

Did you consider Sony legally can't give us access to all of our digital content for use on PS Now? Atleast not without permission.

Also, PS Plus probably wouldn't cover the bandwidth cost of PS Now. Sony paid hundreds of millions for Gaikai, they don't want people playing free. Instead you would have to pay another fee to play your games on PS Now.
