Not exactly. I can rent games on psnow, Im not forced to buy at $60 with no guarantee of even keeping it. If I rent the game, then we all know what is up and thats fine. Its not going to keep me from playing my $60 disc game if the internet is down, good try OP.

If internet was down you would have 24h to play or could use a 3G cellphone to update the certificated.

Netflix you can may buffer some seconds of video. Playstation Now on the other hand the conection MUST be persistent and stable. 

PS: XOne is a success, but there is no indication Playstiton Now will prosper. I remember a few months ago how exited people where for the Vita TV, or the Vita for all that matter.

Yeah its that first point you made that is unacceptible to me, and I dont have the 3g option.

Have you been without internet for more than 24h straight?

My family lives in the countryside of Brazil (eventhough in the most developed region), and for the last 3 or 4 years they never went more than 24h without 3G signal. It´s a terrible internet conection, no stream is possible, but its always there. 

Some times the energy goes down for half a day, and I can still talk to my mother using Skype in her notebook.


Yes, in 2005 we had 4 hurricanes come through weeks apart, its was almost a month before it was back to a consistant state. I will not bend on this for anyone or any company.

It makes sense that you would not want to intentionally set yourself up for that scenario.  I assume that you do NOT have cable or satellite tv, any kind of itunes or google based systems or cell phones/tablets.  Any of these services require that you have access to the internet.



It is near the end of the end....

No no no, not just grammar joke. I'll laugh at anything you say so long as it contains irony. 

Althought I will admit it's too easy to objectify you... but don't worry too much! You're more entertaining than next gen I promise.*

*But not Titanfall.

This is you, isn't it?

If so, marry me.

She's from Australia! I'm from Australia!

Chances are high!

Also I will only marry you if you legally change your name to Titanfall.

 



I suppose I should also say something about the comic.

*Ahem* ...

...heh... 

That is all.

I am totally serious here........Sony selling something is essentially a non-effort on their part.

Sony: We are announcing _______

Sony fans: LOVE it!

PS Move (when fans denounced the Wii), PS Plus (subscriptions), PS4 multiplayer (paywall), PS Now (internet requirement). They seriously can't miss if they tried.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Ah, if only it were that simple. Then again, MS do have a worse marketing team.

MS marketing is far superior to Sony's, please don't forget the last 7 years.

Now PR .....

I tend to agree, but Sony has gotten way better at marketing, MS PR is a disaster IMO.
