That's good. I've seen a lot of LG TV's with their settings in the 150ms range, even with things turned off. Didn't know going "PC" reduced that footprint even more.

Those load times though, 2 minutes in before the game starts.
I'm wondering what other games will make the service near launch. Demon's Souls I assume would be a good candidate?

Don't get excited about that "Disc Only" part. I'm 99% sure it's there because it's pulling down the Game synopsis and other information from the PlayStation Store and you can't download there thats why it says Disc Only.
Yes, PS Now also supports trophies. They announced that when they announced the service is a little Q&A on the Blog!

Yep. It would be more of a gesture of good-will to longtime customers anyway.
It would also provide an alternative to those wanting to avoid the subscription model (just buy a hard copy of the PS3 game).

They've already said there are going to be different ways to get access to this service; there will be both subscriptions and pay-per-game options. Perhaps one of the options will allow you to stream games you own on disc.

But Sony would surely not allow that to be done for free. They're not going to allow you to access PS Now without paying the PS Now subscription. That would just be dumb on Sony's part. It would be great for us, but Sony has nothing to gain from doing that. They would just lose potential customers who would want PS Now so they can play their old games on their new system. Why should those customers subscribe if they can access their old games at no charge already?

Ive got the lg 47ld950. Has 30ms lag which i quite good. Though yea in general you need to do alot of research for lg panels. Back on topic, i like the idea of playstation now, but its all gonna come down to the payment structure for me to see if i jump in on it.

The question is will it be based on monthly rental credits?
Or
Game availability based on a tiered hierarchy?
Or...part 2
Just one big a$$ open ended PS+ were games are added over time and nothing expires, ever.
All I want to know is where's my email Sony?

It looks like it supports trophies. You can see this near the end. If you press the PS button you open XMB on your own console with PSNow running. If you press Start like he did and then "Open XMB Menu" you essentially open the XMB menu on the server running the game. There it shows you all your trophies from your SEN account saved on Sony's servers. It's obviously set up this way for later when they add support for all devices. So you can get trophies even with a smartphone for instance.
It's not "for free" if you own the hard copy. You paid for it. They already allow certain online features without subscribing to PS Plus so it isn't totally far-fetched (although I agree with you that it's unlikely). Allowing you to play games, of which you already own hard copies, thru PS Now could actually serve as a nice gateway to the broader subscription service.
If this would work with PS3 disc based games without extra charge or included in PS+ I would be stoked. I could borrow some games that I never played since I never owned a PS3.
More probable is a Netflix style subscription or something like that.
The technology itself seems to work well, didn't notice any screen artefacts or problems with the IQ. Great stuff.

I see some 60 fps games on there. Now, does it stream at 30 or 60? Because doa5 would be broken as all hell at 60 fps.

Also this:
"Disc Only" just means that a game that was previously disc only can now be enjoyed via PSNow. The game pages look like they were ripped straight from the store anyway, which includes this info.
It doesn't mean you will be able to use your disc to authorize the game at all. Sony is a business. Think rationally.

How could they check if you've borrowed the copy or bought it second hand?

I would be down for The Last of Us, Ni No Kuni and maybe Killzone 3.

I've been pretty unimpressed with Vita remote play performance unfortunately. It's OK for basic control games, but for anything with 3D aiming the latency really kills things (both wifi and direct).
I'd love for this service to turn out better, but I am skeptical.

I'm not sure that it would matter. It wouldn't give you a permanent copy of the game. It would simply grant access to that title whenever the disc is inserted. If you rented or borrowed? Then you get to play as long as you keep it rented or borrowed.
At least that's how a completely ideal setup would work for me.

Ironically enough, the online pass. Some PS3 games had them so they could be used as an authenticator.

It'd be nice if he'd clarify what he considers to be a "craptastic" connection.
As others have pointed out, the UI is the playstation store. If games aren't available for download from the store, it says DISC ONLY next to the title. If you pull up the page for Killzone 3 in the store right now, it says DISC ONLY because it isn't available for digital download.

I wonder if they could potentially stream PC titles? With keyboard/mouse support on PS4 that'd be a killer combo!

Was wondering the same thing. Haven't seen anything in my inbox.
Ah that sucks! I wanted to try it. I hope they give us a trial before actually ordering the service to test the connection.
Only if your quality standards are very low.
Beta works only with PS3. After launch in summer, they are planning expansion to other devices in fall/winter.

The user on GFaqs told me if you have any question he'll be happy to answer them.
Just let me know and I'll give them to him
He said he'll have a video up about the input lag test and yes he was recording with one hand, that's why he wasn't playing too good. The network speeds he test at are It's 5 down 1 up, also tested at my friend's house with 10 down and 1 up... Hopefully I can make a video where I'm testing it over there.
He doesn't have a capture card so all he can do is potato quality. Sorry about that.

Ask him to test online multiplayer on one of the games and give impressions. If you can play online multiplayer over ps now anyway.

Actually was able to play Dead or Alive 5 online versus some guy in France.
My damned router decided to switch itself from nat2 to nat3 by itself after I had to get a new modem. So while even though the video quality did degrade...it did not interrupt his ass-kicking of me (lol been awhile, shaking off the rust)
Controller responsiveness is just simply astounding. Even with my crappy internet both on doa5 and ninja gaiden 3 I ran into one short pause each on the game then right back to the action.

So basically he wasn't at a disadvantage in online multiplayer on PS Now? Excellent.
