Why would you promote PSNow on PC with over half the highlighted games being already available on PC?

I can't imagine why they wouldn't offer it on as many devices as possible.

- If you don't have a gaming pc.

- If you would like another avenue to use your Now subscription.

- If you're more interested in convenience than visuals or performance.

- If you're interested in the games that aren't traditionally available on PC.

- If you would like over 400 games and growing at your fingertips for less than the price of a Netflix subscription.

I'm not a subscriber myself but I can see the market for it.



I might pick up that 7 day trail. I'm positive my connection isn't stable enough for any action gaming, but maybe I can take this opportunity to play through Heavy Rain, provided the QTE's aren't too intense.

Does PSNow support the xbox360 controller?



The $99.99 price showed up back in January or so, and I was thinking about getting it back then, but never did. I'm thinking after the most recent price increase to PS+ in Canada, it'd probably be a good idea to pick it up at $100 Canadian before it shoots up because of our crappy exchange rate.

Why would you promote Netflix using content where at least 90% of it is available on DVD/blu-ray?

Totally different scenario. Netflix is about convenience, immediate access vs. having to go out and buy or rent, or wait for an online order to arrive. With Steam, GoG and G2A there is more or less the same immediate access, and often for a very low price. So what is the advantage of PSNow over other PC content prodivers in terms of multiplatform content? There is literally no advantage. Well, maybe one: bad PC ports that run better on console hardware. But those are mostly a gen 8 problem, which is content that is unavailable through PSNow for the mopment.

And until recently Netflix only had 3rd party content to with which to promote itself. Now that Netflix produces its own content, some of which is among the best quality TV available, they promote their original, exclusive content a lot more.

Please tell me about the convience of downloading several GBs instantly and having your entire collection and downloaded and installed at all times.

Please report back. They won't accept my Paypal data but I am also not sure if that is a good or bad thing...
