Peter digs into PlayStation now to see how it performs over a LAN and a WiFi connection and breaks down the pricing options.

Umm... really?

You rather pay an outrageous monthly fee or rental fee to play FF13 that's gonna eats up your bandwidth cap than hook up a PS3 to your TV...that you already own? All because you have too many consoles?.... really?.... must be nice.

[JadendayZero]

this is bullshit. just give us backwards compatibility! look at freaking xbox, their doing it right. and this is coming from a long die hard playstation fan.

[DreamcastGuy]

Love it or hate it, this will end up being the future. I hope PS Now gets the bugs worked out and they lead the charge in streaming games media! 

[barrymk]

This seems very stupid. Why can't they just add Backwards Compatibility into PS4 with an update or something.

[leonemesis]

So, WiiU and Xbox One has it for free, and Sony demands people to pay a monthly rent to play PS3 games?? And we complained how Microsoft started this gen.. why not now?

[KonnieW]

It's cheaper to just outright buy some of the games offered here.
Still a good idea though.

[bluetarantulaproductions]

this is one of the reasons why I miss video rental stores

[ATmatter]

Don't want to hook up your ps3 because you have no more room? Hell, ill take it off your hands

[coletague]

so wait you pay $20 for a month and then have to pay again to rent the game?

[flamingbridges]

Hopefully one day you will be able to buy and keep the games on your ps4. A bit like how you can buy ps1, and ps2 games from the psn store on the ps3.

I wish that PSN plus members would get a free rent per month for now.
I still have my ps3 hooked up to my tv, so I can always buy ps3 games, which I can get cheaper then for what they are renting it at. So having plus members enjoy a game per month, maybe have plus members choice between renting a Now game or having a Plus game.
It is a great way to keep sony fans happy and it is an another incentive for people to buy ps4.

[moregore]

Fuck this shit, ps4 NEEDS backwards compatibility. Who agrees?

[DiogoExMarques]

When PS Now has PS2 and PS1 games, I'm sold.

[MarkyDav]

Those prices are stupidly high.
I can't see this service going anywhere if they keep that up.

[Harbinger_CR]

Played it and it's totally worth it guys. At first I couldn't stream some games because my net wasn't good enough for some reason(I have 10mbps download speed) but after a few days I could play them well. It's cheaper than buying all those games that's for sure. And if you never had a PS3 it's great for the exclusives that you never got to play.

[DKomnicide]

It's definitely a good start, I'm happy with it so far. 

[StryveUK]

Does it bother you that your cameraman is hiding from you?

[diamondmike]

Good review, and also good points as well

[WhiteEmerald]

I use to be into these type of things but as I got older, I just want a physical copy more. Idk why. I like it like that.

I think Playstation now should offer a discounted price for a physical copy and mail it to your door.

[TeacherPauloPontes]

I call bullshit on this service: if I wanna play the game for 2 hours, might as well download and play a demo of it. If I like it, i buy it. Call me old fashioned, but I still rather have the disc for the game. The only games i got digital only are small downloadables.
