Not sure how this article got through as it is incorrect. PSM is up and running as per normal.
In comparison to the 360 and ps4 dashboard it is sluggish and difficult to navigate. Personally I am not a big fan.
This is all well and good all these articles telling Sony how they should price the service but in the case of 90% of the games on Now or will feature in the future it's not Sony who decides the pricing but the individual publishers. So personally I believe we are picketing the wrong company!
Lots of a certain fan base saying that ea acces has the netflix of gaming whilst down playing ps now. EA access can never be the netflix of games as they will only ever publish their own games Where as PS now could potentially offer all.
Here is the official forum for NOW I suggestion users make their voice heard on it rather than N4G

The two services do not even compare. EA's will only ever feature there own games.
Instead of moaning on N4G try be more constructive and do it on the official NOW forums

I think a lot of trolls are on this page as there are a lot of disagree with any positive statement about the service. Pricing is off I agree however but the service is in Beta and subject to change, also instead of moaning about it here go to the NOW Beta forums and make your voices heard. On a positive note NOW works exceptionally well when streaming they just need to get some more AAA titles up.
Historically the console with the most sales has end up with greatest support from developers like seen with PS2 and Wii. However that does mean more shovel ware also.
Need to remember the figures are actually worse for Microsoft than even this article states as Microsoft posted shipped numbers where as Sony posted sold figures.
@Axios2 troll harder! Sony's gaming division is posting a large profit not sure Microsoft's did.
Judging by the amount of PS4 games on the list its only a matter of time before PS4 sales pickup in Japan.
I cant see that this scheme is a benefit to the consumer when as soon as this years sports games release you can purchase last years game for a few £/$. The only benefits is to massive sports fans who play Madden, NBA, FIFA and NHL. EA will not put games they still make money on, hence why PvsZ or Titanfall are not part of the offering.
I do think they have refused to give number of PS4 sales this is just Sonys quarterly financial report they always bundle the PS2,3 & 4 sales numbers together. I am sure we will be given a figure at Gamescom.
That's is great news for SOny and the consumer, it will mean a price drop sooner and/ or better value bundles
There is a folder on the PS4 UI its called Library. We need Sony to do a Pin feature so we can post games & apps of our choice on dashboard and limit it to say 20 items. The library then needs filters to sort games by type.
@dirtypimp I realised half rant
PS is in beta the prices will change and we do not even know if there is a subscription model yet. But why am I bothering to explain that to the biggest troll on N4G.
Not sure why EA access would have any impact on PS Now as EA would also make money from it also. EA is not giving access to retro titles through access just previous titles release on X1 ie last years sports games nobody would purchase after current tiles release.
This is a clever move by EA as games such as FIFA 14, Madden 14 and NHL 14 have no value to them when the 2015 versions come out.
Not sure why people are comparing this to either Steam or PS Plus as it is completely different. I do understand why Sony is turning away from it as PS Plus offers greater value (admittedly if you own Vita, PS4 and PS3) but at some point full games will make it on to PS4 (as not a big enough catalogue yet) and the PS3 options will be reduced and...
I am not sure how bothered I am by this, I never the played it first time round so might pick it up. The more games the better to be honest you don't have to pick it up. The more people by it (as cheap for se to develop) the more money they will pending on the sequel.
