A revolution you say? I played streaming games via OnLIve years ago.
What's the next revolution? Emulation?

Having used services like this in the past, its great stuff. People that didn't own a PS3 or older consoles may really take advantage of this service.
However, its a crappy experience if you don't have a fast internet connection.

Ahh, but they didn't use the word "buy". They used the word "rent". Think PS+ games here. If you pay yet ANOTHER subscription, you can probably keep the games. If you don't, you'll probably pay $4.99, and it will only be yours to play for a limited amount of time. You're not "buying" anything. This whole service should be a part of PS+ and the fact that it isn't is just pure BS. I am not a fanboy, of any company anymore. I know the Sony fanboys are eating this up with a spoon, but the fact is, while it's a really nice feature tech wise....it's a total middle finger as far as cost. No one should put up with this kind of business practice and the fact that people DO, only makes things worse. |
So the instant game collection with PS+ that basically gives you a butt load of games for the price of a single new release each year isn't enough? Sony never said game streaming would be included in PS+. It actually seems pretty obvious that it would cost extra. They are actually separate services. I could see PS+ perhaps offering one streaming title per month, maybe, but certainly not the full service. Of course if you run out of room on your HDD you can always cancel your PS+ sub and just do streaming.
What would piss me off is if Play Now is behind the PS+ pay wall, but that's not likely because you can have Play Now without owning a single playstation device. So this will be like Netflix on PS3/4. It's a separate service that isn't behind the PS+ paywall, and you can subscribe to one or other or both at will.

If in that fixed environment there was input lag I'd hate to see how bad its gonna be in people's homes...

| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: Hmm... the only thing that makes me worried is what happened to onlive when they did their streaming crap... Granted Sony has a shit ton of better servers and more money but people like me have shitty internet speeds of 25 mbps down and 1mbps up + Datacap (even though shaw(isp) doesn't actually care but most isps in Canada do), are probably not gonna get the full experience |
25mbps is probably more than enough. I have 16mbps, and streaming HD movies are a lot better quality than live cable TV. Datacap will be a problem.

Well...that's gonna be a hit here, in developing European countries. The bandwidth options we're being offered around here border on the ridiculous. Greatness awaits it seems.
I'm thinking of switching to a 200 Mbps connection soon. 10 Euro per month isn't a bad deal.

I am not impressed. If you already own the console I see no real value to this.... and people who were never interested in buying a console before are not simlpy going to change into dedicated gamers just because there is a new offer available.

Is it confirmed as a double subscription? I mean, I don't see why they wouldn't offer it on a game-by-game basis for Plus subscribers. |
I seem to remember reading there would be a subscription plan AND the ability to purchase/rent individual titles a la carte.
