$60/year is pretty cheap.
They should provide a psplus + psnow combo. I'd consider it if the price was right.
The God of War and Uncharted 4 whoohoo !! And the new price is awesome
If you own a PS4 this is basically Gamepass. You pay a subscription fee and get to download and play some exclusives. Services like Gamepass and PS Now that don't rely on a stable internet connection (due to being downloaded and played off the hardware) are the new future. Not Stadia. Stadia just sells you games full price. Gamepass and PS Now rent you games Netflix style.
And making a handful of older exclusives content for a few months is a great idea! It will get people to try out some PS4 games and eventually pickup a system so they can play those games whenever they like.
Ps now is been for years before gamepass arrived, only thing is that ps now was a streaming service only when it launched.
Umm.... it being a streaming service doesnt make it it like gamespass. Downloading actual games>streaming. They make be similar now, but not when it was a streaming service. Streaming sucks ass. I have 180+ mbps with 11 ms ping... and streaming sucks ass. I'll take downloaded games any time over that garbage.
Sony released the subscription numbers of PS Now and it was way below the expectations of most. Glad to see they are actually trying to boost numbers with a reasonable price and major releases. At $60 a month I am tempted to subscribe but I have many other games to play.
