So is it safe to say that PlayStation NOW was a bit premature?

Man this plus the pstv is a great service if you have little kids who are just old enough to jump into console gaming but not old enough to be hardcore gamers.

Listening to these idiot fans pretending like they want backwards compatibikity

They just wanted a talking point in console war arguments.

Like somebody else said,PSNOW was never a solution for backwards capability. Its PlayStation centric Netflix and its actually pretty damn good in that regard. You can start a game on PSNOW on like a PS3 or certain smart TVs and be able to continue where you left off on a completely different hardware.

The only true argument you can make against it is the prices being too steep for certain titles or the subscription package and I say certain titles because some individual rentals have fair rates and some don't. The publishers set the prices for the games.

I'm thinking about re-upping because I see a bunch of games on there I want to play.

This.

Any other argument is just hot air.
As far as latency goes, I've been very impressed. I played Street Fighter IV on the Vita through remote play and I felt it was very playable.

BC always seems like a non-issue gamers love to bytch about. I don't sell my old systems nor do I ever really feel the urge to replay old games.

This forum is hilarious. I knew exactly how it would go.

Sony supporters quick to say it's a worthy service and one even calling it a "lifesaver" UNBELIEVABLE. PlayStation NOW...a lifesaver

I'll let y'all keep going though. I saw how this was going to go years ago when OnLive was out and fizzled after that buzz.

I said for my sister it's a lifesaver she aint trying to buy no ps4 or Xbox one. I gave her my pstv and she paid 100$ for PSnow when Sony had that year sub deal for my nephews who are only 9 & 11 years old. They enjoying the hell that PSnow and even some of my old vita games.

Man they should just give out 1 rental game/movie with ps+ and be done with it.

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

PS Now is, was, and will always be .
I have no reason to think otherwise.

The thirst was real

So RDR on the 360 is selling like crazy after the announcement, but I was told nobody cares about backwards compatibility.

The 4 bout to get them some RDR.
Remastered, too.

It's definitely a long game with PS Now. Netflix didn't become who they are overnight and the more our broadband infrastructure gets better, the more viable services like this become.

Id be more apt to use it if they let me pay a reduced rental fee for games I already own.

That's the thing, why though? Who'd want to pay a fee to stream a game they already own?

Also y'all forgetting, how would this work for PS Vita or other non Playstation devices?? Remember PS Now is a service that's also on other products. How would your say Dark Souls PS3 disc be verified through a Vita?

This is why I keep stressing that PS Now is not a complete BC solution and as such shouldn't be looked as one because to do so ignores big issues. Hell, PS Now is on PS3!　　Surely one would instantly realize they're not offering streaming BC for PS3 owners as that'd be
