I know right. I want to use my Sony Pulse headset so bad!!
Don't Starve and Contrast are fantastic games that are unique and fresh compared most console games. Quit getting hung up on the idea that "Indie" games are somehow lesser quality that "AAA" games. It seems that most people don't even know what "Indie" means anymore.
The Vita has over 400 games across all regions. How does that translate to no games exactly?
People are blind if they can't find games to play on the Vita.
True Story!!!
Nobody said the PS3 wasn't that great. In fact, the PS3 was an amazing console with amazing exclusive games. Sony just lost sight of what was most important in the beginning. They saw their error and turned things around near the end.
The PS4 seems to have taken on the ideals that Sony put in place during the PS2 days. Sony is getting back to it's roots if you will. Most consider the PS2 era to be a golden age in gaming. It was all about the games first and foremost. ...
Never. LOL
I get that then. I personally have over 100 Bluray movies but I still use the crap out of Netflix. I just can't afford to buy EVERY movie I want to watch. LOL
Online gaming is one thing but how the hell is it acceptable to put Netflix behind a paywall on XBL when it is literally FREE (with sub) on every other device known to man??
You can drag Sony into this all you want but it doesn't answer this question.
Just what I own:
TV
PS3
PS4
Vita
Galaxy Note II
Kindle Fire
Wii
iphone 4
PC
All free!!!

PS3 had plenty of games with dedicated servers. it's ok that you think XBLG is worth the price but pretending that the 360 and X1 are the only consoles around with dedicated servers is just plain stupid. Only a complete fanboy would do that.
So is it safe to say that you never use movie/tv streaming services either? This is the exact same thing as those so if you do then I see no reason to pass on this service.
But it's not being forced in the least bit. Netflix isn't hurting the DVD and Bluray industry because there is still the option to buy the physical media in a store. Microsoft wanted to do away with that option by ONLY having digital versions. This service is exactly the same as Netflix with the option to rent game by game instead of a monthly fee if you choose.
From the looks of it, this will only be on Sony products as to keep the games exclusive to at least some form of Sony hardware.
This is literally no different than Netflix. They aren't going to give you free streams of movies you already own because you are still paying the monthly fee for access to all the other content that you dont own. PS Now is the same thing. Say you own 20 PS3 games and you get PS Now. While it seams like you are being charged to play those 20 games you already own, you are actually being charged to access the entire catolog of games on the service. This may be a bad thing if all you play i...
@shuuwai
PS+ games are locked to your account. Not the actual console. You can put them on any two PS3 systems at a given time. If you want to add a third you need to diactivate one of the other two.
@CrossingEden
How can Sony pay for exclusive DLC in PlanetSide 2 when they are the ones that made the game in the first place??
That is very possible actually. Instead of "Free" games to download they could give away so many free rentals per month. I would expect some kind of discounted monthly rate for PS+ subscribers too.
@incredibleMulk
You don't get a discount on Netflix if you own the movie on VHS? Why should you get one on PlayStation Now just because you own the game for a completely different platform?? If you buy a game for PS2 you are only entitled to that copy of that game that you purchased. You are not entitled to all releases of any format in the future for any potential platform.
Use your brain a little next time.
How exactly is this going to "nickel and dime" us?? This service is a gaming version of Netflix. Is Netflix "nickel and diming" us? What about Gamefly? Are they "nickel and diming" us? What about Amazon streaming?
And when did backwards compatibility become something that we are entitled to? I don't remember being able to play my NES games on my SNES. Or my SNES games on my N64. Or my N64 games on my GameCube. You could only play GameCube gam...
Might as well get rid of Netflix and the like while we are at it. Digital rental services are EVIL!!!!
SMH...
