PlayStation Now is back in the headlines after launching on the PC recently, and we’ve put it through its paces in order to see how it holds up. This video review includes a bevy of footage…

How can i play it using vacuum cleaner?
My only problem is when the quality suddenly drop and ruins the game for me I just got a new roater and it started to work well but then I decided to fuck it
In the near future you will place a gaming chip on tongue to play games lol.
so then every month i pay $20 or is it a one time payment and i can use the service till i delete it?
Wait so if you buy PS NOW do you need to buy each game that you buy?
I'm planning to get a PSTV but I would like to know if all PS Now games are really compatible with the PSTV?
I spend 20 bucks and the whole service crashes constaintly
I'm thinking ps vita will come at least a year before ps4 since nobody cares about the vita anymore and that ps4 games won't come until it's as old as the ps3 was when the service first started
Thanks for this, subbed!
For a $100 subscription it's actually a really good deal. People are willing to spend $10 a month on Spotify. As a mobile gamer I'm pretty ecstatic about this service. I always loved the PlayStation's library, but I don't watch TV and only use a laptop. I'm happy to pay for an on demand gaming service like this if they keep adding games though. Seems like the obvious next step Sony is taking in gaming.
How do you rent games??

PlayStation Now is Great.
Great video!
PS Now really is a wonderful service. For people (like me) who have never owned a PS3, having access to these great games is a godsend! I was able to play through Ratchet & Clank games, Shadow of the Colossus, Catherine, etc, and am looking forward to playing through The Wolf Among Us, Ni No Kuni, all of the God Of War series, and many, many more titles!
The bandwidth requirements are steep, but as mentioned in the video, internet infrastructure is improving (and becoming less expensive) year-over-year, which will undoubtedly make the service much more attractive. When I originally started playing PS Now, I had to budget my bandwidth, but a year later, my internet bandwidth has gone up substantially and I no longer even consider it while playing. ** NOTE: I do recommend running an Ethernet cable from your PS4 directly to your modem/router as this will ensure a more stable connection, especially for those that may live in a larger house/flat where the PS4 is a good distance from the access point.
I think PS Now will continually look more attractive to current gamers as PS3s become increasingly rare, and the hardware begins to fail. I also think that PS Now will appeal to some PC gamers that enjoy gaming on a cheap laptop computer, or casual gamers that like to play on their TVs with PS Now support built in. Having a 450+ title library to choose from is remarkably good value for the $99/yr asking price (current US/Canada sale). I expect that PS Now will eventually be supported in Android, exposing millions of devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs) to the PS3 eco system.
I really hope that the catalogue grows to include PS1, PS2, and PSP and PSVita titles — such a library together with Arcade Archives, should satisfy nearly any gamer. Additionally, I hope that PS4 titles are eventually added to the fold. But I also hope that Sony has the foresight to create a PS Now platform that developers can develop for directly, with the goal of streaming games. Such a platform could have copious amounts of power and offer unrivaled visuals to anyone with a PS Now client.
I'm a fan of the service. It is remarkably forward looking, and works well. That's not to say that it cannot be improved, but Sony has something special, and if nurtured properly, can re-define the way that we think about games!
Hey everyone!
I've been spending a lot of time with PlayStation Now this week, so I figured I'd put together a speedy review. It's worth mentioning that this service is constantly evolving, so I'll be revisiting it in a year's time to see what's changed.
Anyway, I hope you find some value in the video. Thanks for watching!
