I’ve spent more than a month with the Playstation Now closed beta on PS3 and PS4. Let’s talk about it!

Xbox's new game pass sounds so much better, for the downloading instead of streaming. if Now changed to downloads, I'd get it. I have gotten a month of it before, but hated the streaming
i wish they made it like a monthly subscription where you pay a certain amount of money ($10-15 per month for example) and then you could just stream whatever games they have to offer at no charge, however i understand why they didn't do it that way lol
Im excited for it since gonna play all the ps3 exclusives since I didn't have a ps3
It may be worth a try when there's more variety but right now i'll give it a miss
Ill probably check it out and then leave it
I miss blockbuster fuck the future
Why don't they just settle for backwards compatibility?
Yeah…the only reason I might use this is if it opened up the doors to older games you can no longer play on the systems but I'd much rather buy a game and play it forever than buy it close to that price and play it for a limited amount of time.
I always thought that the main reason to get PSnow was so you could play games with graphics that your console cannot generate. Obviousley Sony won't do that since the PS4 is still fresh out of the birth canal, and this thing is clearly far from ready.
As for the pricing, i think that's going to be a real issue. They can't even discount digitally purchasable games appropriately, why should that change with streaming.
Soooo.. is it just a rental service? Or is that just for Beta will we be able to permanently buy games on it in the future?
I think its bullshit because I shouldn't have to re-buy my games just to play on PS4
Jake, will we ever do the pmi crew session of gta online?
I'm not going to check it out. I'm the kind of person who buys a game and sticks it on a shelf, after beating it, for future playthroughs. Most ps2 and ps1 games you can buy between 4-10 bucks and own it forever. Just not for me.
I think it is cool, but it depends on how much it cost to rent a game. Jake agree on what u said that it like $4.99 and the game goes on sell for $7 I can on it forever and what happens if I don't bet it in two day ,I just wasted my money.

I honestly feel as if it is too soon to judge a lot of it, as there's so many wrinkles that will be ironed out. It still looks cool, though. I guess we will see.
They made it seem like it was going to be similar to Netflix but with all their old games. Pretty disappointing to find out its not anything like that.
I think the real question here is whether or not Jake Baldino is worth our time and money?
Wouldn't you rather wait for a Steam sale to get cheaper games forever?
I got accepted into the beta and have had mixed feelings. I have a good WiFi connection so it played well, but thegame selection & prices need major improvement. I'll give it a try once it releases in its completed form. Great video Jake!
I'm sure the subject of the video is very interesting, but right now the only thing in my mind is "ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN !! TURURURU TURURURU TURURU"
