The technology is rock solid. I have tried it, and it works. I couldnt tell the difference between playing a game on PS Now or playing it locally on my PS3. However, they DO need to fix the pricing...including giving FREE PS Now access to games that you have already purchased on PSN! A subscription based service might also work, depending on the game selection. But as it is now, it's just not worth using.
It's not just Japan...
Its back up guys, so the haters can go back under the bridge now.
Well, what is REALLY "Brutal" is that because of policies like these (and others) the Xbone has HALF the game library of the competition!

Cant wait until its released and this myth that it will revolutionize the XB1 will be put to bed once and for all. File under "secret sauce".
I call bullshit. They actually said in an interview that it's "pay to win"! Honest, but really?
Masaaki Hoshino, Producer: So SoulCalibur: Lost Swords will be the first in the franchise to be a free-to-play model. Unlike previous installments of the franchise, this time around, we’re looking at a single-player experience where it’s built around customization and really molding the character to fit your play style.
Why was it decided that Lost Swo...
The issues with performance may be trivial in real world gameplay, but they DO exist...any why would anyone choose to play on a system where almost EVERY multiplayer game looks better (and plays better) on the competing console that sells AT THE SAME PRICE?
Exclusive games? PS4 has more...almost DOUBLE the number of games available on the XB1! (proof: http://www.listwar.com/rele... ) This will CONTINUE to...
Step 1: Minimize the difference in raw power
Step 2: Talk about all of the Japanese games you are moneyhatting.
Step 3: ????
Step 4: PROFIT!
Hey, bub, reality is over here! Wake up! Dream time is over now. Japan ain't happening for Xbox. Accept and move on.
When are people going to learn? EA makes shit games. PERIOD. No one should be supporting this company. If you see an EA logo on the box, RUN! DO NOT BUY!
So, it's probably "recycled" from all of the unsold "Day One Editions" from last year.
MOAR CLOUDZ!!! (MS needs to shut up about them already, we are sick of hearing about it, when there are extremely limited REAL WORLD uses for it! Next thing you know, they will release a new PR release about DX12 or some other "enhancement" to try to, yet again, distract people from their underpowered hardware...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!)
@poppinslops why won't anyone think of the virtual children!
Judging by pre-order numbers, it all is going to come down to how well Halo sells...and how well it moves consoles. Call of Duty is MIA, and the Sunset Overhype bundle is not even on the radar! So, if there are a LOT of Halo broshooter fans out there, Xbox will do OK...but I am betting that most Halo fans already bought an XB1. I also think that if the XB1 has a miserable holiday season it is VERY likely that MS will kill it off.
Either way, Playstation is going to contin...
The "right time" for this was last year, at launch. How did a console EIGHT YEARS in the planning become such a charlie-foxtrot for MS and the developers? Halo 5 should have been a LAUNCH title, as Gears should have been!
Now? It's almost too late.
I remember when my 360 got downgraded with the "metro UI", rendering my themes useless. What good is a "theme" if the Fisher Price UI covers 80+% of the screen? Once MS got addicted to the revenue stream for ads on the dash, they could care less about giving gamers themes.
Then again, nothing about the Xbox One justifies a purchase, either.
@MELMAN26 "never been done"? I guess you are totally forgetting (or ignoring) the fact that Defiance did exactly the same thing.
Now, desperation has a scent of its own. Crafted from the salty tears of Don Mattrick, Microsoft proudly introduces Destiny, the fragrance. (Please don't sue us, Activision! We still need you in a couple months for OUR exclusive advertising campaign!)
