Old games + New AAA is more appealing than just old games. Also, PS Now is pushing too much PS3 content. Given the usual price they should offer more PS4 content.

$100 is not a bad value, I'm arguing that's not the usual price. Also, month to month is too expensive (more like $240 for a year).

Game streaming is a great concept and I'm a fan of it theoretically. But PS Now is a service for playing old games and very little of it is PS4 content. The future is streaming new games, not last gen.

I can't imagine you disagree with anything I'm saying. I think you have the impression I'm attacking Sony.

of course 240$ a year is too much, hence why for 2 years I used the service I paid 100$ per year. not sure why you think that's not an usual price... but anyway, see for yourself:

scroll down to the bottom of the page until you find: 

12 Month Subscription 99$ (not even 100 but 99 lol)

So as you just stated, 100 a year is not a bad price. And I think you'll agree it becomes an even better value if they indeed will allow the download feature which was my entire point from the start.

Looking to the future I'm sure Sony will adjust the offer. Besides keeping the older games library, start delivering newer games to the streaming service. This seems much more likely since EA, Ubisoft and even MS started talking about streaming as a market they are now aiming to. What the service will look like by the time the competitors hit the market I don't know, but I'm quite confident more competition means they will present a more competitive offer than what they currently do.

I don't think you were attacking Sony as much as it seemed like you were defending MS and their specific offer, which is perfectly fine if it suits your preferences more. The only reason why I see more value on the PS Now is because I have no interest in MS first party games. It's all about individual tastes :)

Again... $100 or even $99 is not the usual annual price. THIS IS A SPECIAL DEAL PRICE. I just bought a year of Game Pass for $60 on Amazon. That doesn't mean I can always get it that cheap.

The downloading feature will be a great addition, but the problem is a lack of content compatible with the PS4. Most of the content on PS Now simply won't play on a PS4.

Forget about personal taste. PS Now needs more PS4 games and new games to really get attention. That's objective, its not gonna become popular relying on PS3 and some older PS4 games.
