I just feel they should allow people to buy games on PS now. I mean why not? Their aren't really that many PS3 games I want to play and it is the primary reason I don't want PS Now + the fact that I I don't spend so much time in gaming anymore and hate to have to subs in anything. Still not touched the last two months of PS plus games :s.

You can't just buy games on PSNow for the same reason you can't just buy movies on Netflix. Sure, you could toss them $20 for a game/movie, but then you'd be streaming it forever, since you "own" it.....but their servers still take money to maintain. The cost to deliver "your" content would quickly and easily overcome the cost you paid for the content.

The solution would be to download the game to your TV. But that's just silly. Your TV isn't a Playstation. 

Renting is actually perfect if you don't game that much. Pay $5 and get the game for a week. Low up front cost and you play it in the little bit of time you use for gaming, instead of paying full price and only playing the game for a little bit. 

Their are always solutions if you really want. Let only PS plus subscribers buy them, or use advertisements or whatever, and PS now is not really renting because I could play Persona 3 and one day when I want to play again it is gone because the license cost was to much and the interest to small to keep it on PS now.
