PlayStation Now Public Beta Starts Today on PS4 With 100+ Games; Check Out This Walkthrough Video

They could always do a video store structure. I have never been able to go to a video store and rent a game for 3 months at a price of $8.99 etc. I only play exceptional games through more than one time and only invest alot of time into exceptional games and those are games I buy.

Majority of what I have purchased on 360 and PS3 lose their luster after 1 play through or wind up being a waste of $60.00 as I either let them sit and collect dust or trade them in or give them to a relative. I think there is much value in renting a game for $8-$10. Playing the crap out of it until its beaten and then having no other ties to it once im done.

How many games come out on console that your not finished with after say 30-60-90 days? How many? come on im waiting? Exactly! and the noes that do manage its only because you loved them enough to play them again and again repeating the same stuff again and again.

They will adjust the pricing, and honestly I like the idea behind it. Once they find the sweet spot on a monthly pricing structure, I believe it would be worth it for those whom had a PS3 that crapped out no them and missed out on the games which released during the best and last years of the PS3.

If priced correctly upon finalization this will also be a good option for those whom have a sony television,vita,PS3,PS4, or VITA TV. A cheap console alternative and A huge library of games to play.

Right now during the beta the prices are a joke indeed. However they will gather feedback and adjust accordingly. Besides the streaming service doesnt retain the same quality as the actual console so there is still value in owning a console, but if someone wants to play games without making a full investment as they dont have enough time to game I see this being a GOTO.

Everyone finds faults with everything and are so quick to make final judgements on stuff. Yet the same people bend over and take DLC all day long.

I think they should charge a monthly fee for this games , like Netflix with movies and it will be better service, price are just not good at all people be better off buying disc games instead of renting.

you know what would be cool, a way to broadcast my computer screen on my ps4. i would never turn it off.

I tried PlayStation Now on my brother's PS4 with 100mb internet connection i was streaming DarkSiders 2 i've noticed some compressed video artifacts the streaming was good with only minor hitches but the overall quality was ok not great but ok my biggest problem is the pricing and the idea that Sony wants to bring PlayStation Now to Sony's own Bravia smart Tv and other devices that can connect to the internet, i think PlayStation Now should only be for PlayStation consoles

I really, really prefer my games on disc.

A downloadable game has to be 'off the chart' good for me to interested.

I think I have a whooping 3 downloaded games on my PS3, one of those being Defense Grid.

This is some AAA grade bovine excrement sony. Your prices are almost as inflated as your ego.

I think this is the future. Imagine games are no longer on sale. They will be streamed. So that they continuosly get your money as they only renting the games to you. You are not owning them. This is a nightmare.

Sony should let users stream one free game for 4 hours. They can even limit it to just Sony published games for the free trial.

Still, this service is DOA. There are far better alternatives available than an overpriced streaming rental service with lag input.

If this works and succeeds, it could be the rise of the arcade era again: "pay to game", but now we'd have to buy the console too.

Why no love for EU?

I read the reason for the PS4 not to be backward-compatible was because it was too big of an effort to emulate PS3 on it. Now I don't know...It could be just an excuse for $ony to milk their customers with this service.

i understand that streaming cost them money but games arent movies. you cant play a game for 4 hours. but then i dont really care because i have the X1.

Meh, it's rental only. So, it's no different from WoW in anyway, even with subscription (or rather, especially with subscription). Not only that, it means that they only allow to play the game as long as they still want to support the game. Unlike backward compatibility which I can simply insert the PS3 disc and start playing. I had hoped that I would have the option to "buy" the game, download it to the HDD, pay once and for all. Even though I know that it won't be perfect, I didn't think that it would be this terrible! This is a horrible method of milking!

To stop new viewers from having to scroll down to read everyone's comments, this is basically a summary of what most people are saying:

"I have to pay for my games?! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

If you have a PS3 and like 10 games you haven't played yet, and a PS4, no need to buy. But it's useful for people who never had a PS3.

Lame. I knew this crappy service will be overpriced, like everything else Sony does - Video/Music Unlimited, digital games, etc.

$ony is the new Micro$oft. You both make me sick, our only hope in gaming is Nintendo. I think we all owe Nintendo a huge apology.

This is disgusting.

I remember seeing someone from Sony saying something about the EA Access deal being "Not a good value for our customers"

Probably he meant "PS NOW is such bad value that we can´t have anything in our system that even tries to compete"

Off topic but here's a list of GS staff who just got axed by CBS:

Justin Calvert

Carolyn Petit

Tom McShea

Maxwell McGee

Benito Gonzalez

Ryan McDonald

Wernher Goff

Will definitely miss some of these folks. Gamespot will never be the same without them.
