I finally agree with this. I've never agreed to anything he's said before but now i do.

Paying to play old games that i already bought and played? I think not.


Is it preferable to keep three consoles under the TV instead? Neither the PS4 nor PS3 are backwards compatible, if you want to play games from all generations; you'll need a PS2, PS3 and a PS4 in the same setup. I much prefer having it all in one, if for no other purpose than a more streamlined experience. Besides; a lot of these older games can be practically impossible to track down in physical copies. Not to mention that you won't actually need to purchase a Vita or PSP in order to play their games.

It won't be terribly different from the current PS+ in structure, only a lot more all-encompassing and ultimately cheaper for what you get. I would much rather pay for something like this than PS+. Of course; that may not be the case for a lot of other people.

No thanks i dont want to replay old games. If i do then thats why i have a collection. Isn't that why people collect games? to replay them when they want. 

Suikoden II is $137.89 used on Amazon.

IMO Playstatio now will work just like PS plus(maybe integrated?).New games will not be part of the service, just the 1+ years old games.

1+ year old games? Bioshock Infinite came out last March and PS+ got it last month. I would think Playstation Now would act like Netflix, where it gets a lot of old games and some new (as recently as 6 months).

Not everyone is invested in PS1, PS2 and even PS3 though. This is a long term plan being rolled out. Youre assuming we all have room for 4 consoles, Cable, ChromeCast/Apple TV, Denon (any brand) Receiver, not to mention people that own XBONE, 360, WiiU etc.

Also, I know for a fact that I get urges to play games I havent in a long time or dont own when friends are over that I may not want to own but could see the benefit of having at my disposal if the situation arrises.

Granted we dont know what will be available, how the saves will work (will it work with saves across multiple devices?) etc.

But this idea that everyone owns every game they ever want to replay or enjoy and has access to all the Sony consoles at any moment (cant this even stream to Vita and Bravia?) so perhaps anywhere they want as well is.....silly.

Well if you would have collected that game in the first place then you wouldn't have to pay that much, now would you?

I dont want to replay old games. It might be for you and others but not me. I am sure i am not alone in this.

Why hasn't anyone thought of moneyhatting Pachter to diss their own company and jinx it in a good way?

I would be very happy if Playstation Now has, Playstation 1/ Playstation 2 and Select Playstation 3 titles available at launch.
Better yet, If PS+ subscribers also have the ability to pop in their PS3 games and play on your Playstation 4.

At a fair monthly price, (Netflix like), I'm all in.

Hey, it was the 90s and I wasn't old enough to get a job back then. By the time I could afford it, I could only find a used one with no manual and I ended up getting it for my brother for his birthday. So there.

Your outlook on things here are so narrow minded...
