Can't believe Sony let MSFT beat them to the punch like this.

A PS Plus Now model is staring them in the face but they not pulling the trigger.

@The Mad Titan mentioned this shyt most recently. Maybe it's coming eventually but it'd be great esp for ps4 titles

The problem is that I don't believe the quality of the technology was good, even though they adopted the technology early. PS Now has been a failure and not a very good product since it's conception. I thought it was just because of the quality of the internet but that doesn't seem to be the case, it's still choppy and laggy as hell on everyone's PS4.

I hope it gets better since they made it clear the 5 aint gettin ps2/ps3 support. Huge library on them i want to enjoy, especially them ps2 platformers. Tried runnin Sly Cooper n it ran like shyt.

They should have rebranded it during the PS5 rollout.

This is a prime example of how sony does do things early but if it isn't an instant hit they drop it like a bad habit.
