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

[-DMP-]

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

Someone who doesn't wanna turn on his jet engine ps3. PS4 is so much better to deal with and doesn't drive up my power bill.

I know WHY you'd prefer to use the PS4 to play PS3 games and I agree.

I'm saying, how would this work for other devices?
Remember, PS Now isn't a separate service for each device; If you start streaming say Resident Evil 5 on the PS4, you can continue on a Vita or anywhere else that has PS Now.

How would this work when you're on the Vita?? Would you need to have the disc in the PS4, have it turn on remotely and verify online and then allow it stream? If you say you'll pay a fee, that's just giving money away. Why pay more money to stream games you own when the same thing is free for games already on PS4? You wouldn't pay a fee to shareplay or remote play PS4 games would you?

What if you don't even have a PS4 at the moment? The best thing should be $10 a month no strings attached. the $30/3 months thing is basically forcing you to commit up front.

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.

So they should have included PS3 hardware inside the PS4 like they have done in the past to allow backwards compatibility?

nikkaz cried about the price last gen as you know. It won't be as much of an issue going forward if they want to.

It's 2016, nobody is yearning to play Fight Night Champions or Crimson Skies.

The 1,000+ active on fight night champion say otherwise

And that's considered a niche sports title these days

RDR will prove you wrong as well.

3,000 people vs 1 Million for a remaster?

I'd rather they remaster these games.

Playing PS3/360 games is like starting up your PC games and putting everything on low settings and dropping the resolution and capping the framerate at 27fps.

It comes out to $30 for 3 months. ($10 a month)
Thats a very reasonable price for what they offer.

What would be a reasonable price to you?
Should it be $5 a month?
