PS Now: I'd Like the Ability to fully purchase games

I think Sony is doing the right thing personally.  Take their time, dipping their toes in the water, while expanding the library.

As of yesterday, I believe their library is now approximately 372 games, with 127 included in the sub. They are expanding around 5 games a week on the library and 5 games a month on the sub (with usually at least 1 AAA game per month). By this time next year at the current rate they should have around over 630 games on the library and between 187-210 games on the sub. However, as the PS3 gets abandonded further -- you'll see publishers agreeing to put more of their games on the sub.

Game streaming is like digital games. For some fuqing reason people get all bent out of shape and cuss and throw tantrums at the thought of it. Sony needs to ignore this and continue to try to turn people around. 

I don't get the impression they're dipping their toe in the water, it seems they hoped what they've done thus far would get more praise. If people knew it was going to be a rental service from the start, well there would have been less hype surrounding its launch.

Quantity of games is not PS Now's issue. However, it lacks many top selling games in the PS3 library. Having the games people most desire is more important than quantity.

Many people are open to the idea of streaming games. But renting games they may already own is what bends them out of shape. Also, nobody wants to rent a game for about the same price as owning a physical copy of a game.
