So, i aways was most a nitnendo guy, who usually just used emulators, since i was not allowed to have video games. I buyed a DS because you cannot replicate the expirience of using a 2 screen machine at the time, and was worth it.

Anyway, i played some ps2 titles on my cousin house and aways pondered about getting a ps3, because i could see that ps+ really worth it. I almost tought about buying a ps4 in detriment of a WiiU last year ending, but sony made me a favor of overprice their console in my country(Brazil). But i still wanted to play ps1 classics and another ps3/ps2 games, and i started considering getting a vita.

But now, with this new service coming, even for TV and smartphone, i give up getting theirs consoles. I never played a ps3, and never had a ps1 or ps2. I areadly had a low cost sony ericsson phone and was the best cellphone i ever had. I don't have any hd television either, so o could think of getting a bravia at some point. Besides, since i was thinking about getting a ps+ subcription, would be not much different pay a different price for the games i wil get.

My connection is not the most reliable in the world, but allow me to play moba decently most of the time. And since sony areadly confirmed that theirs service are coming for Brazil too, i think will be playable.

"And PS4?" Well, if the service profit's and turn out reliable, i think will come in no time too. They areadly did with psvita.

Maybe, if come, i will get a psvita TV and plug on to play the games from psp too. Maybe this turns out the only PS device that i will ever get.

Anyone around here fells the same? Holding off buying anything till this service start and see how this will turns out?

Their profit come from the games, and some of their hardware are really expensive even sold at loss. I think that they really want get rid off the playstation hardware. They even said that they want to do the trasition for next step of gaming.

Stupid? I thought most on tis site thought it was a great idea for Nintendo to go 3rd party. Why not Sony? They need the money a hell of a lot more!

I would take the hardware over Playstation Now. The hardware will always be there and the games are relatively cheap (with some exceptions) too where as for PS Now I would be at the mercy of the service being stable, bandwidth and internet speed along with not actually really owning my games. So personally I'll still be buying their consoles.

I cant see streaming being taken seriously by hardcore gamers for a long time. Im one of them.

You won't get any current generation games though the service and will rely on a subscription and always be reliant on your internet connection

It's definitely not the way I would want to go

A person that never bought a Sony system says that because of PSNow he may never buy one... would be easier to say that as long as it have a PS logo on it you won't buy it.

Me I'll buy PS4 and its games and may try PSNow, but I have most of the games I love.

Good ideia, im the same situation(im from brazil also)

I am wondering where the Hype is coming from for PSNow. No one really was all that interested in Gaikai or game streaming before. Without see the service running, price of subscription or cost of the service, its hard to get excited for PS Now until it delivers. Also playing PS1 and 2 games just doesn't get me fired up. Even if PS Now is like 7.99 a month for all you can eat, I barely have enough time to play current games then to go back in time to play old games.

We barely know anything about PSnow, but if you say so
