Forums - Sony - PlayStation Now Open Beta Starts NOW!

why don't they have the option 2 own the game. that's the part I don't get. pricing is just way 2 expensive. the 7 day price,should be the 90 day price. If they did that,then the thing would be worth it.

Have you tried connecting on your US account. I have a fast internet connection, but PSNow says it's not good enough, because PSN data center is too far away. 

Which is true of course, 10.000 miles away :)

there was a rumor that sony was adding some sort of cross-buy between psnow and psn.   that would make me very happy even if i had to pay an additional subscription fee to access the psnow version.  something like $50 a year and i'd subscribe.  it would be soo nice to be able to have my digital games library instantly avaible when i'm at a friends house or to start playing a game immediatly while i'm waiting for the download version to download.



Also, sure, pricing is all over the place, but there are PSN games for $3.99 for 90 days. Which is OK, I guess.

But can somebody explain this logic:
Obviously, you have to use a PS4. So why is there a game Contrast, 90 days for $11.99, when I can just purchase a PS4 version for $14.99 and own it forever. And that in case I haven't received it for free at launch.
Insane!

Well, I can't use it anyway, so no biggie, but I see this service flaming out big time unless they fix something. Most of the games right now are mediocre at best, a few gems hidden among a flood of PSN filler.

as much as i'd like to talk about psnow i kind of have to agree.  the technology seems amazing but the business model is pretty broken right now.   i want ps4 games not ps3 games.   i want a subscription services not a rental service.  i want to buy a game not rent a game.

..rentals would probably fly better if psnow was on a more casual device like a smartTV or blu ray player but ps4 owners are not game rental types.  right now especially we are the hardest of core gamers and we don't want to rent a game and we don't want to only play really old games.

oh well, it should be better over time.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 and a few other free games are free, mostly at the bottom of the list.

Yeah I did, but it wasn't fast enough :p



I am fine to give gamers an option to stream/rent PS3 games on their Ps4 but the execution could have been better...

Ps plus made gamers feel like they missed out on something if they did not get PSplus from the start,,,,, I see mostly people getting annoyed or laugh about the ridiculous pricing of Ps Now...

Edit: Most gamers at this point don't want this service to become the future but want it to become already history right now;..
