I went out today and bought the kids a PS4 for xmas anyway, so they have even more options in gaming now. Ps-Now on TV downstairs and Ps-Now upstairs on PS4.

I got them the PlayStation TV for it’s remote play features, just in case the kids want to play in the backroom downstairs while the console is sitting upstairs, which means the kids are still allowing people to watch ( or play ) from the main frontroom TV.

All good.☺

Also now we know that PS4 and PC will have remote play that will work out great too.

“Some people asked if we plan to provide Remote Play function to PC, and yes, we are indeed working on an official application for PC/Mac” Yoshida said in a tweet. ☺

In the end I just think its awesome that her family is enjoying the service. The more options we have the better.

New PS4 = £300 ( plus money to play online ) PS+ = £40 ..Total £340 ( with one retail game ) 500GB model

New PS3 = £250 ( free to play online ) No retail game included 500GB model

( Both consoles will need money spent out on games )

The TV will be needed to play both consoles anyway ( so price of TV is up to user ). She paid £1000 for a Samsung 55″ JU7500 ( came with 6 Six years Warranty )

So she had the TV anyway ( she didn’t buy it just for PS-Now lol ) so she just paid out for two DualShock 4 controllers ( £40 ) and joined PlayStation Network and then PS-Now at ( £12.99 pm ) for unlimited use giving the kids 212 games.

So that means she can have 23 months of PS-now gaming for £299. Which would work out cheaper than having consoles and buying games?

How much did that Bravia or Samsung tv cost her? Cause no matter what, you’ll have to count in the cost of entry if saving money was a factor. A PS4 is only $399.00 and you can get a PS3 for $179.00 – $200.00 these days. As for paying $225.00 p/y for just over 400 (and growing) may sound like a steal, but in the end they are old ps3 games which majority of them are just fillers placed to inflate the number. Quantity over quality. And again you get those same games for free for a measly $49.00 p/y with PS+

I do understand though that this service is currently aimed @ a different demographic who may not be interested in buying a console.

As a gamer, I just cant get out of my head the fact that a ps3 these days can be purchased on cheap, and a yearly ps+ service @ $49.00 will get you an average of 3 games p/m free, 36 games a year. + if you want to purchase games, you can on massive discounts w/o ever leaving your living room. Either way you look @ it, you save way more as the months add up cause you control what you want as far as games you purchase go, on those discounts. While your library grows additionally with the free games you get every month. Even if you’re not a die hard player, its easy to recognize that it’s better economics.

I like the idea of PS Now. I really do, but my opinion is its not a real value right now. Filling the list up with filler games you’d probably wont want to play to inflate the number doesn’t equal value. But being that’s subjective, satisfy your customers who would argue the same and lower the price. When they fix that, it’ll be worth looking at. Oh I just found out that PS4 games will be added sometime in the future to list on PS Now. I think that’s absolutely great.

Example… My sister just made a PlayStation account and paid a monthly sub to Sony ( to play games on her TV ) She has Two children with a big gap in age between them.

I said “why not buy a PS4″… She replied “what’s the point, there are more PS3 games than PS4 and it saves me money as I don’t need to spend £300 on a console or pay out money for games and by using PS-Now it allows the kids to have a massive selection of games from day one”

I was like *now I understand where Sony was going with PS-Now* Example.. How can she have PS3 games for free on a PS4 if she never had a console in the 1st place. PS-Now is made for people to experience PlayStation Network games on more devices than just a console and in which allows new people to not worry about paying out for a console etc.

I agree!!! But that put Sony in a dilemma I think. With PS Now, you’re paying about $20.00 per month for games that you aught to be getting free on PS+ anyways. I’m saying Sony have an opportunity here. They should just evolve PS+ by integrating it into PS Now & add PS4 games into the mix. How much are you willing to pay yearly for a service like that? 79-99 squids is the sweet spot. Keep in mind, PS Now game line up really belong in PS+ monthly freebies.

Hahaha The fanboys always defend Sony
Sony’s Logic———–
“Why Innovate when we can Duplicate”

Sony shills are desperate after another year with no games and none of them reaching 1080P either.

Next year they have 720P PS2 games and 720P VR to defend. You’d almost pity them if they weren’t such disgusting creatures.

Meanwhile at Sony…

Sub-720P games running 1080P on PCSX2 for years. It’s worse than xbone emulation since you have to pay for it again. But you will because you are a loser.

No wonder you gave up marketing so quickly on /v/ rscottyg. Same with your lame “Immersion” defence after PSVR devs have to drop games to 720P to hit 90FPS and still look like trash.

It’s going to be a long generation for you. Losing exclusives week after week. Uncharted 4 being a trainwreck. PSVR a flop on arrival. Then being BTFO by the NX.

Make your exit plans now rscottyg
