Rates for PSNow rolling out

[Fatboi1]

that's why I said the lineup will be key...but yea, it's gonna be some old games to gamers, but what about the people that don't game like that?...or the ones that didn't get the chance to play some of those old games they might have wanted to?....seriously, these prices aint shyt....

It's also a case of streaming an actual video game instantaneously vs paying for a subscription and waiting for a disc in the mail. If it works as seamless as others have reported, this is extremely convenient for those who don't feel like waiting for Redbox to get a game in stock or for Gamefly to send a game. I've waited for weeks for a game to get to me at times.. Imagine for example you can rent Destiny for $7.99 for 4 hours, if you like it you can either buy it digitally or go out and buy it physically. Redbox or Gamefly can't match that convenience because a lot of redboxes don't even carry certain games and then there's the issue of games not being in stock, driving to the kiosk, or waiting for Gamefly to have the game available.

basically....but don't say that to this spoiled ass gamers lol....them spending $3 - $30 is too much, but spending whatever amount for a new phone every couple months/year is ok lol....

people that do trade ins all the time are already renting at a premium anyway

if i get borderlands 2 used for 15, beat it in a month, trade it in for 5. i rented that for $10.
renting a game for a month with ps now maxes out at 12, which you know they wont charge for old ass borderlands 2. so your talking probably $8 vs 10 for a rental with less effort...

Well.. It's not exactly the same situation but some folks are looking at it like this:
"I have a PS3/PS4 already.. I look like paying $9.99 to 'rent' Demons Soul when I can just buy it for $10?"
People like that aren't who this is aimed at. It's aimed at the folks who are like:
"Damn I don't have my PS3 no more but Demons soul sounds good... I want to play it before Bloodborne comes out but I'm not buying another PS3 for $150.
I can stream this on my PS4 for $20 for a month? I could finish it in a month, not bad."

i would be willing to use this for an obscure hidden gem type game on ps1 and ps2, but that's about it

 

[Zebruh]

Lol @ this shyt.

 

[infamousred]

i've been spoiled by buying a bunch of full games for 5 bucks off of psn that i can keep forever. only way this makes any sense is if you want to try out a brand new game without paying full price for it.

 

[Cladyclad]

It's has to be some incentive of being a Plus member. I kno Sony not gonna let us down

 

[Champion]

This will be nice for over priced shyt and niche games that I cannot find for the low. I can't really see myself using it for anything else because I hate renting games.

 

[B86]

2.99 - 29.99 is too rich? lol yall cats kill me....

anyway, prices aren't bad...the most important thing will be the lineup of games....

You do realize that games now go on sale, online somewhere within about 90 days, at about $30-$40, right? So you're telling me you are gonna pay the same price to rent as you would to own?

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Nah not fukking with that pricing. I'd rather a flat monthly fee for unlimited access to all games
