Yep Sony is starting to show their bad side. Their response to EA Access was arrogant and salty as hell. Not to mention it is so blatantly obvious that they don't want the competition to PSNow.

Would MS want a direct competition of thier item on thier own system?

Why are people acting suprised that Sony want to control their own stuff?

Your MS fans actually sound really salty yourselves.

Well, if the OP can't distinguish between PSnow and Microsoft's original plans with the XB1 than I am afraid this discussion is doomed.

Not to mention PSnow is in beta and prices are not set yet, kinda the point of a beta.

LOL are you serious? The things are different yes, but Sony is being blatantly anti-consumer simply by not allowing the consumer to make their own decisions. The prices of PSNow is irrelevant.

MS wouldn't but people would automatically shout from the rooftops if MS had done what Sony is doing now. The double standard is stunning. I'm not a fan of MS by the way, this has nothing to do with MS, we're talking about Sony. Stop muddying the waters.

I wonder what would happen if Spotify would like to launch on ps4 and Sony would say: We have music unlimited, Spotify doesn't represent good value for Playstation gamers..

Does Spotify own the music and content on their website? if no, then your analogy doesnt make any sense. 

It makes perfect sense you're just splitting hairs.


Splitting hairs??Ownership of the property is splitting hairs???Sounds liek your salty at sony and are junping at a vhance to vilify them.

Agree, and what if PS now becomes a subscrition even better than EA access with good pricing?

I bet the fanboys will still complain and try to prove to us that this want in our best interest. 


What if? So what EA access is a different type of service. IS PSNow going to give you discounts on DLC and future games?

YOu do know PS Now is coming in as a subscription based service right? 

If so, EA access is nolified on the PS4. forget, the fact that you can play on any Sony owned product but also that you will defintely be getting more games than EA aceess can give too you.

Clueless.....Why are people sayign PS NOW???? PS now has 100 + games already from many publishers... EA access is NOT streaming and is just like PS PLUS only for a hand full of games..YES PS Plus has gotten free games, DLC and discounts for years...Herp derp.

PS Now is for PS3 games at this point. EA access is offering newer games plus discounts on future games and DLC. Also, new games will come into the offer. EA access is by no means nullified by PS Now. You're delusional if you believe that. PSNow subscciption will also likely be 15 bucks a month at least.

PS NOs is an OPTIONAl streaming service...MS tried to create an ENTIRE DRM system with no physical trading and loss of ownership...renting services like PS NOW are optional and NOT new and are also a sloution to the backwards compatibility issue....A thread created fro people salty at sony.

Sorry but PSNow is what people have been talking about. EA access isn't streaming you're right, I never said it was. It is like Ps+ except cheaper. You probably won't get a lot of the EA games on PS+ though.
