Most complaints are about price. There are rumours the UK price for a 2 day rental is £5 but a month is £10. Weird numbers but still too much, far too much. The service quality and feedback has been great in my opinion, hardly any lag at all.
Hmm, pie.

PS Now is not about giving backward compatibility....PSNow is compatible with Bravia TVs (soon samsung and other brand TVs), PS3, PSV, and soon will be on android and iOS as well. It's a platform to stream games. Heck, there's nothing stopping PSNow from being on Xbox AND WiiU (and to be honest, it would be in Sony's best interest to have the platform there as well). PS4 has no BC solution as of this moment. |
Exactly what I have been saying. PSNow was never an answer to backwards compatibility and people just do not seem to be understanding that. I always believed its true target were people who do not own gaming machines. Samsung has a monster market share and you will be able to use PSNow soon on their televisions whether you have dedicated gaming device or not. All you need is a DS4 controller. I have no idea how big it could be as it becomes available on more devices but it puts Sony in markets that they may otherwise not have access to.
It is not the same thing as backwards compatibility and I am not sure why that is so difficult for people to grasp. I would love for Sony to introduce true backwards compatibility to the PS4 but I seriously doubt they will. If for no other reason than to be able to retire my PS3 and open up a desperately needed HDMI slot on my T.V. :D
It is a very good move by Microsoft provided that publishers do not gimp which games will or will not be available but I am not sure it is a game changer. It definitely gives them a pretty big selling point that Sony will not have though. A bigger game library for consumers is nothing to scoff at and you can bet it will be an advertising point both in the media and most likely on packaging. The best case scenario is that very selling point allows MS to tighten up the race in the United States and possibly UK.
We will see. :)

I know, but they added a sub model not long ago. You get access to hundreds of game for unlimited time with one monthly cost.

Just to point out the obvious - look who you are replying to. Next think about who owns PS Now. Theres your answer.

The same reason why people are trying out PSNow and buy old school games off of GOG and Steam.
People love to play games regardless of what generation it came out of from. Most people still have games left over from their backlog that they havent played yet - to be able to play their games to the successor system is great especially if the original console is no longer there due to being sold out or stopped working.
Not everyone out there just shells out $60 for new games and never look back. |
Of course people still play old games but my point is that most people still own their previous gen console or already played those games.
It didn't do any good to the 360 or the WiiU which makes us see that it's not a critical feature.

Great to hear they added a sub model as the prices were a big problem too. My issues were performance based. And they might have added more infrastructure to help with that, too. But my experiences even with 75 up/down Internet wete not good.
The only thing that really sucks about PS Now is its limited to Sony devices.
As a rental service its impressive.
