I am obviously out of the loop, have never heard of Playstation Now. You pay to make your PS4 backwards compatible?

I wouldn't mind playing some ps3 games... since I never had a ps3...
Since playstation now can be used on the ps4, vita, certain sony televisions, playstation tv as well as the ps3, they seem to be going for a broader market than just hardcore ps4/ps3 users.
I think being able to play ps3 games without a ps3 is pretty cool, although the library and price point need some serious work. Don't forget, it's still in beta, so you're looking at a work in progress.
And cloud gaming has been shown to be a viable business enterprise. Onlive is still around, even if it was circling the drain a year or two ago, and other services like Playcast are on the rise. PC game streaming is here, console game streaming is around the corner, and sony wants to be the first one there.

Because the best games are on the PS3. It'll be a while until we see a GREAT exclusive to PS4 game.

Actually yeah, my cousin in Argentina would love to have PS Now. Ps4 over there is like $1000+...
I myself had ps3 for years so I don't care for it anymore. But sure, there's a lot of people that would play it... Only problem? $$$$$$$$ $20 a month??!? In 1 year that equals the price of an actual ps4!

Yeah the price is a bit extreme.

I think the price is a bit extreme considering that the games themselves will be old and mostly we will have played them, its more of a nostalgic factor now.

If it was $20 and I could play every game they have in the library with no contract, I would be tempted by it, then it would be like Netflix. It looks to me like you pay $20 a month and then still have to rent the game, so your stuck with a certain time period to finish the game. Sometimes a game takes a few months for me as I do not play to often. I will be passing on this without question.
Yay. I can use PS Now to play PS3 games on my PS3. Just what I wanted
I personally have no use for it but I see the appeal to people like Negative Zero. This obviously won't appeal to the hardcore PS player since they likely have or have had the past consoles to play the games offered. But 20 bucks a month? Damn. For that price you can pick up the games you want cheaper at GameStop. I got 3 games one time for 21 bucks I think (though I had a coupon
). And besides, isn't a Gamefly subscription half that a month?Similar threads
