Downloaded, registered and it says "service not available in your country/region". Well, fuck this. This is so annoying that some people can get to use it and others can't.

It's modern racism if you ask me. Some people are "better" than others and can have more benefits. Disgraceful.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, its completly different. Racism means you have a preopinion of someone because he looks different than you. Look, Sony doesnt go "you know what? FUCK THOSE PEOPLE I DONT LIKE THEM". They want your money, but there are costs that they arent willing to do so far. Be patient, maybe it will go to your country soon.

Yeah, I know. Just got a bit annoyed. I really hope it will cause in terms of gaming nothing would make me happier. I have fast internet connection, very good PC specs, two Xbox controllers and huge willingness to play a lot of those exclusives. So yeah, really want that.

I think it is probably because of the streaming. I guess you need a very low latency to make that work without it being all laggy. So they need servers at many locations. I am not sure why they picked these countries. Maybe because of the quality of the internet infrastructure? But if that was the case I don't see why they would pick Belgium instead of Germany.
Either way, I'm not having it even though I'm from The Netherlands. I am not a millionaire. 20 a month is just crazy talk. :P

Right, who doesn't love playing 24/7 to rush through 50 games as fast as possible just to save 20$. Really tho?
Comment has been collapsed.
I like that idea.
How much do you think you could do that for? Seems I'm looking at not less than $120 for the initial investment. Given the rate at which I play games and other factors relating to turn around time I'd probably have the console for five months or more. I'm having trouble estimating how likely I am to loose how much when I flip the items.
Edit: Actually, the way to do it is to borrow a PS3 off somebody I know for a couple months. Then you just have to buy the games you want. I bet somebody in my family would actually be willing to do the lending now that I think about it...

Well, I'm grateful to Sony: this thread prompted me to talk to my brother in law about borrowing his console for a while. Easy as that, I don't need a streaming service anymore. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a pretty good idea. I don't even mind the streaming part (as long as there is not a lot of input lag), but it's just too expensive. You may get access to a pretty big list of games, but most are on pc anyway. If Red Dead Redemption was on it though, I would have gone for it (at least for one month), but for now, the Last of Us is the only thing I want...
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont use consoles, but there are some titles i always wanted to play and i couldnt on PC. As far as i understand, you pay a monthly fee, and while you pay you have access to all the listed games, right?. Is there a way to buy those games once and for all without any suscription?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes to the monthly fee part. That is how it works.
No, there's no way to buy the games, at least not that I've heard of. Even if there was, they won't run on PC hardware, so you'd still need their servers to execute them for you.
Comment has been collapsed.
No. I wish they had. I think a proper emulator, or ported games, is something many of us would pay for.
Instead here is my understanding of how it works: they execute the game remotely. Your systems sends input, and they return the audio and visual output to you via streaming. That's why you need a pretty good internet connection speed for this to work for you.

I really dont like The Last of Us, but ive been annoyed so much by people telling me how life sucks for pc gamers cause they cant play it, that i guess it would be my first PS3 game to play XD
The one i would like to try is MK vs DC, not the best game, but as a fan of the franchise i always wanted to play that game.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 for MK vs DC
TBH, it was probably one of the best recent MK games. While 9 and 10 had the blood and gore, MK vs DC was actually fun to play, however lacking the blood and gore that many people "enjoy". Pretty sure the MK franchise will die off in a decade or so. It's lost most of it's older flavor and fun. The blood and gore just doesn't do it anymore, it's cool for a bit, but gets old insanely fast.

Does it? When I run the app it tested my hardware and I passed because I have Xbox 360 controller. I think it would work, wouldn't it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. That just seemed to be the case from reading on Sony's site. If it works with a 360 controller then I don't have any reservations.
(Sure, it costs money and requires a fast connection, but given that, it's still good for the purposes mentioned.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but I don't know 100% if it will work in-game. Just saying I passed that test on the beginning :)

ergo: not for my money :-P

For me if there was a reliable service that let me play ps4/pc or xbox games with my comp but my comp does 0 of the work so the games are
100% gonna work then I'd prob save up to use it sometimes depending on price and stuff I'd love a PC that can run stuffs.
Comment has been collapsed.
So I've tested this and people who complain are either crazy or their internet connection/PC specs are just not very good. I have a fast internet connection plus a very good PC and the gameplay is amazing, loading times are fast and there are no lags. The only thing that annoys me is that some games are 30 FPS but it's understandable cause consoles. Some are not though, for example God of War 3 Remastered runs perfectly fine in 60 FPS.
Amazing software and service for PC gamers who want to play console games without buying a console.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd rather they just ported the games, so this service simply isn't for me. I don't see how they can justify 100 bucks a year for such a list.
Did you have to make this thread return from its 10-month-long slumber, though? Creating a new one talking about how the service is currently running almost one year later might have been better.

I have 220Mb wired broadband, 6700k @ 5ghz, A 980 TI and PS Now runs like crap here.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have 120MB/s and my PC specs are:
Intel Core i7 4770K 3,50 GHz BOX
Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB (16 GB total), 1866MHz, DDR3, CL9, XMP
Gigabyte GeForce GTX770 4GB DDR5/256bit
And it works like a charm. No lags, no stuttering, nothing. Like playing on consoles.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but there are loading screens and they disappear quickly, that's what I wanted to communicate :P Of course it depends on the speed of your internet connection since it's streaming like you mentioned.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just wish it would be a completely reliable service worldwide. It may be a little costy (not too much tbh) but it allows to play exclusives without having the consoles - I really rarely replay games after finishing them, for me it would be a really good system.

Why would I want to play ps3 games?
Why would I want to play ps3 games on pc..
And you have to pay for this? PFtt
Comment has been collapsed.
Ps3 games are rather cheap, better than paying 20€ a month.
Comment has been collapsed.
I do find it expensive myself, perhaps if they include a 3 day purchase for $5 for the times you just want to play a single game all the way through a weekend I would heavily consider it.

I just found out about this: http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/30/12712192/playstation-now-game-streaming-pc-launch
What do you think? The price is steep for me. On the other hand, if I were able to finally play some of the PS exclusive games without buying a PS this way then I might consider signing up for a few months. I'm still waiting to play 'The Last of Us'... At any rate, it seems like an interesting development.
