PlayStation Now praised for things OnLive did years ago

you must have missed my thread where i broke down why YOUR argument sucks. let me do a quick copy and paste for you....theeerrreeee yah go:

anyway, the main issue is all the charges popping up with this system. i hear cows complain about Xbox Live and its ONE paywall but are now all for Sony nickle and diming them with paywalls for all these services is fine. that's a hell of a shift from last gen. you guys went from, "i'm appalled buy the thought of paying for online play." to,

"wow this is great. for a fee i get access too music unlimited...video unlimited...my TV app...my online play...PlayStation Now, where i can subscribe then rebuy opps, i mean rent, all the games i loved last gen without having to have an old console taking up space in my home. and if i support Sony even more and buy a Bravia tv, along with rebuying the controllers i sold to get a ps4, i can RENT the games straight from there! this is great!!" O_o

Xbox Live has 81 features behind its paywall while Sony is taking the route of trying to charge for as many features as they possible can. so if cows want an experience something similar to its next gen counterparts they end up paying close, if not more, too the hundred dollars they saved buying the system. pay or deal with a watered down console is the deal. pay on the individual basis for backwards compatibility is the deal. and you guys are rolling with it...its completely hypocritical honestly. and it should be an outrage. slapping a charge on backwards compatibility and you don't even get to own the games LMAO smh.

and people in this thread say its sinking low or sad bringing this up...was it low for cows pointing and laughing at Xbox Live's one subscription charge for the last 8 years? its sinking low now since you guys are getting it worst than lems ever had it though, huh? i've never seen a group whine so much...seriously, u can dish it out but can't see to take it at all.

here's another doosey i just wrote:

it doesnt matter, it still cost. we never had to pay for backwards compatibility....ever. now Sony has it that you have to ditch the games you do have and re-rent them. its a blatant **** over to their consumer. it doesnt matter if the rentals are a penny each. especially since the price of past playstation games are going to drop like a rock because of this, the physical copies. because Sony is going digital rental service. why would gamestop or anyone give you a good price for your games now. with Playstation Now n next gen here they're useless. so now ur going to lose money on trade-ins AND you have to pay to rent the games loved again, smh. the situation is fucked up.

seeing cows crow about this is odd...especially since the Xbox Live fee was suppose to be a big deal to them for so long. if that was then how is Sony making you pay for games twice not. especially when the second time you pay its only to rent.

That's actually not bad. That looks like 5-6 frames, which is about 91ms. The lag you get from the HDMI cable to the display is about 66ms.

Not that bad?...its practically un-playable like that and It was streamed from a server down the hall. What's going to happen to the Input lag when it's over the internet lol?

Meh, streaming gaming is just another gaming fad. Even Toshiba TV announced streaming games now. Sony just sprinkled magic hype dust and got their fans excited. It will fade like recent fads like motion and 3D gaming. If it's included in the PS+ sub, then cool, if not, that's going to be trouble. I mean how are you able to play PS Now games online without paying PS+? Looks like its gonna be a mess and not unified.

@kuu2:

Your post shows how stupid you are.... please dont rant about things you dont know about... or actually please do because it makes me feel smart

It's like playing Xbone games.

hahaha dat lem ownage. PSnow more responsive than xbone confirm.

Fake Myth? Going a little far aren't we? This gen just started little Jimmy...i remember hearing MS saying the cloud can help relieve some process and thus opining up resources on the X1. I don't remember hearing them say 400% Do you have a link for that?

Don't bother. Your fanboy rant is over exaggerated. Just FYI when someone has to exaggerate like you do in effort to "try" to make a point. It really does make you look like a tool.

"But Harrison believes the Xbox One can gradually increase its performance over time due to its connection with the cloud."

LInk to facts. Not some rampant fanyboy bullshit

I would like to see the TV setting on both of those examples. Simply setting a TV to "Vivid" mode will give you horrendous input lag. I'm guessing that is what is happening in that XB1 gif.

in all fairness sony didn't really copy until the original xbox came out. then most of their new features were copied from MS and Nintendo. it started with the hard drive and network adapter add on for the PS2 and continues with move, PSN , real triggers, etc etc. DS5 will have rumble triggers.

Difference is Sony built streaming into a platform, On live tried to built a platform on streaming.

psnow is amazing!...says every guy that never saw how shytty onlive was.

@ShoTTyMcNaDeS: its coming... rio codename right now. Streaming is a lag fest at 720p. Cows love 720p now lol
