Forums - Sony - Interesting PSN ideas, Game Rental for PSP & Subscription fee for PS3

Both of these are interesting ideas

http://www.ps3center.net/news/2999/psp-online-game-rental-service-coming/

Lets put the idea of the PSP Go on hold for a second here, and focus on something totally different - like a game rental service. PlayStation has sent another survey, and this time is focused exclusively for PSP users. As said by the mail: "PlayStation is constantly innovating to bring you the best we can offer. As part of this process, we value your opinion." Apparently this time, the opinion they want from us is about whether or not we would like a service to rent games for the PSP via the PlayStation Store. That is quite interesting, correct? We thought so too. The survey asks in-depth questions about your knowledge on the PSN Store, your gaming role, and many PSP oriented questions. (All of which support the no UMD format in mind.) The survey continues by asking which monthly plan would be best suited for you needs. It also covers memory space, monthly fees, games on demand, and others.



What do you guys think? PSN game rental service coming soon? Will it be for PSP only? Since all PSP games will be on PSN for download ditching the UMD format, this would make a lot of sense. We'll see how this turns out.

Rumblings are that Sony may be considering a PSN subscription fee.

Not a subscription fee for access and online (ala Xbox Live) but a fee that gives you all you can eat access to PSN games be they for PSP or PS3. This isn't a new idea (Sony Asia polled its customers in early 2008 about such a thing) but scuttlebutt is that they are asking AGAIN. Hmmm.

$10 dollars per month for 5 or 6 games out of the complete library? Games must 'check in' to see if you are a current subscriber or they just don't play. Maybe bump it to $20 and you get movie streaming to boot?

What do you think? Would you be willing to pay a fee to get access to all PSN games (esp considering if PSP Go! is real all future PSP games will be ON PSN).

i m more interested in $10 for 5 - 6 games..

Good Idea I think it will mostly be for PSP games.

I don't want to rent games, I used to use a rental service, but I much prefer to get the most out of games, and actually own the physical copy, and please say they don't introduce a subscription like that. I would much prefer if they did that in the guise of Quore, and extended that to other territories



That seems like quite an interesting idea, actually.

I might just do that, if and when it happens.

definitely.. but i just wander if they r going to allow 5 - 6 downloads from all developers or just Sony first party developers.. but overall i think its going to bring in lot of sales.
