90 days is more expensive then buying FFXIII-2 it in the psn store..

Nothing wrong with the 7/30/90 day prices. If you are renting, I don't even see anyone needing more than the 7day option being that if you put your mind to it you can pretty much finish any game in 7 days.

The 4hr pricing is daylight robbery though, then again I am sure they don't expect anyone to use that option.

Wow...first I've really heard about this (I've heard the name but never looked into it) and those prices are terrible @.@

whats up with that four hours option? useless.

honestly that 7 days deal isnt bad, you can finish pretty much any game in that time (if your free) and just pay 8 bucks for it.

I assume that 4h deal is supposed to be for party nights where you just wanna have quick game with your friends. It's quite alright.


should be for 24 hours, not just 4 hours.

LOL, welp, hopefully when its ready for prime time, they will fix those retarded prices and not flop like how Onlive did or else this will be another way for Sony to bleed unnecessary money

Hope you guys like the lack of real backwards compatibility!

Still almost anyone would pay the 8 bucks for a week than waste 5 bucks for a few hours.

Only price I have a problem with is 5 for 4 hours lmao. 8 for 7 days could be a little lower, other prices are fine though.

For $30 I should own the game. No day limitations and perhaps I should own an offline copy as well. That's what OnLive does now.

Old games should only $10 - $15 for 90 days of access.

So, you pay for one game at a time...? I thought you paid one subscription and you could access whatever game you want...

Problem with the subcription model is third party support. If they do that no publisher would want to put up their games on the service anytime soon. Making you pay for content directly basically means that they can have access to every game out there.

7 day and 30 day options are good for a lot of SP games. But these prices are constructed by the publishers if I'm not mistaking.

Actually, that'd be a GREAT way to police your kids gaming habits lol.
