What do you think of Playstation Now

[zeke morgan]

For those of you who don't know Playstation Now offers you a category of over 200 Playstation 3 at your fingertips without the need to own a disc or buy a download, all for just £12.99 per month.

You can choose from hundreds of classic games to stream to your PlayStation 4 or other compatible devices – all you’ll need is a PS Now subscription and a broadband internet connection.

Now if it is the first time trying this through you do get a week free for it which I tried just because I was curious, and after playing a few games on it I have to say I like the idea and general premise of it. Especially having no game downloads or physical disks.

However I was wondering what your opinions were of it? Have you tried it, if so did you enjoy it?

Sounds much better then games with gold (3 Free games total per month) and they're usually bad

i think ps now is bad because you must have high speed internet for streaming the games

I love the feature but the fact you need PsPlus and PsNow in order to make use of it is quite expensive. But that aside the library of games is just amazing. I have played on the PS3 since release up till the time of the PS4 and played alot of games and some wich i didn't complete. Now with PsNow i have to chance to set that straight.

Well we also do get some bad games on the Playstation Plus offerings each month, but on the down side PsPlus is a paid subscription service which you would need to take out on top of your Ps Live (in order to play / stream games online)

Yes that is definitely a downside, though the internet doesn't need to be super fast in order to use it, and you can test the connection beforehand to see if it can handle the streaming of games, so its not like you are taking a gamble with it.

I never played the PS3, and I'm using the trial week to try some of the games I wished I could have played on the previous console (such as Killzone 2 and Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles), but yes I do agree that you shouldn't have to pay for PS Live and the PsPlus

It still a great feature though to give people the chance to experience past games with just one click away so in that part it is amazing. Besides that the market is still weak when it comes to Triple A games nowadays. Since the release of the PS4 i always found that the games were lacking and not many good titles made it trough, so far the PS3 still has a wide selection of TOP games

I agree think I may have to use it more once I've cleared up a few games, otherwise I will be spoilt for choice
