On the PSX stream, Eric Lempel (head of PSN) mentioned that PS Now will have a yearly option for $99. Those at PSX can start now, but for everyone else, it can be bought on Tuesday. Essentially, you're paying $8.25 per month. A single month typically costs $19.99. A three month bundle is typically $44.99.

Edit: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015...h-subscription-for-99-99-9-new-games-from-wb/ It says limited time only. Weird.

Not terrible.... i may invest in it

Fat4all · Dec 5, 2015

Much more attractive than $7 for a week with one game, for sure.

Jack The Nipper · Dec 5, 2015

Not bad... I don't want it but if I did it's really good imo

Now the classics... Give me the same sort of options

Taker34 · Dec 5, 2015

Is this the price per game? Sorry for the question but this isn't out in mainland EU.

NewDust · Dec 5, 2015

Now that's more like it... Just bring it to more countries, so I can use it.

Renting an atmost 60 dollar/euro game for 99... I don't think sony is that evil.

No. It's for access to ~400 games.

RK128 · Dec 5, 2015

So basically its now at Neflix prices? If they gave the monthly option at that price, I would have no problem paying for it

.

Bluekaveli · Dec 5, 2015

PS+ discount 75 bucks maybe?

-MD- · Dec 5, 2015

I tried a free trial of this to play Twisted Metal online and it felt like I was playing with 500 ping, the input delay was incredible.

If it was playable I'd probably sign up.

No. It's for access to a few hundred games.

Alright thanks, that's actually quite an amazing price then!

No. This is for the subscription model. Most PS Now games are available via the subscription. Some games are still a la carte (and typically start at a few dollars).

Newtype-001 · Dec 5, 2015

Thats... not bad.
Why didnt they announce this on stage?
Im sure it would have been well received.

oti · Dec 5, 2015

Yeah, let's quadruple the pile of shame sure why not.

Seriously doubt it, maybe 89.99 at 10%.

Which game has that? I've been renting Lumines for 7 dollars but for that I get 3 months.

Yeah, looking up the number the catalog recently eclipsed the 400 mark. It's not bad at all.

I enjoyed my 7 day trial but probably won't subscribe.

AndrewRyan · Dec 5, 2015

Definitely a step in the right direction. Personally I'd like to see $49/year for PS Now, and $89/year for PS Now and PS Plus combo.

Mifune · Dec 5, 2015

Pretty good deal. Shame it doesn't really have much I want to play. I'd love it if they started to add PS2 games.

WooHooAlex · Dec 5, 2015

May jump on this, actually. After I clean up my current backlog a bit.

TheOhrenberger. · Dec 5, 2015

That's pretty much what Netflix costs. Pretty good deal.

Well so I might have to rent games individually?! Not an ideal solution tbh, but it's not like I want more than a few selected PSNow titles. I think e.g. Mass Effect 2 should be one of those a la crate type games - at least that's what I read months ago.

Pics_nao · Dec 5, 2015

Put more games up and I'm in

Yup. Some publishers apparently don't want their games included in the subscription. Also, I should note all subscription games are also available as a la carte if you don't want a subscription.

The difference is that when PSN goes to shit, my connection to Netflix still works like a charm. When PSN goes to shit and I'm playing Lumines on Now, my game is toast. I've failed to post multiple high scores in the weekly charts because PSN shit the bed. This was reason enough for me to get an Xbox One just for backwards compatibility on Lumines Live.

There's over 400 games, they just added over a hundred a few weeks ago lol

paulogy · Dec 5, 2015

Now, if these 1-year PS Now cards retail for $99 but occasionally go on sale for $75 or something like that, pretty sure I'd be willing to pay $6.25 / month for all-you-can-stream games for a year.

Haines · Dec 5, 2015

Lol

Never as long as I have a back log which will be always

darkwing · Dec 5, 2015

this is not bad, if you have a good connection

{insert code here} · Dec 5, 2015

At that price, i'm so in. I did the trial a couple months back and loved PSNow on my Vita. $99/year is a no brainer for me to have access to all those games on Vita since it is my main system. I just can't put the damn thing down.

Conduit · Dec 5, 2015

Hm.... not bad.

shanafan · Dec 5, 2015

Are more titles being added to the service? I am willing to invest if the COD series hits it.

Aikidoka · Dec 5, 2015

That's cheaper than Netflix, which is now $9.99 per month

DoubleTake · Dec 5, 2015

Welp time to cancel my netflix subscription

LAM09 · Dec 5, 2015

More reasonable

They still add stuff, i think they just added some borderlands and bioshock games. COD? I wouldn't think so, i don't think Activision participates in this service.

Sakura · Dec 5, 2015

Still a bit too expensive for me.
I've tried the test game they had, and while it was playable, the experience was rather subpar.

Loudninja · Dec 5, 2015

They just added these

Borderlands (New!)
Borderlands 2 (New!)
BioShock (New!)
BioShock 2 (New!)

Great, now release the damn thing on the rest of Europe already!

bobbytkc · Dec 5, 2015

id sign up, but I live in south korea.

OmegaFax · Dec 5, 2015

The up front cost is a bit hard to chew. Rather just pay $10 a month to month than the $100 up front in bulk. Kind of a hypocrite because I pay for Amazon Prime yearly.

GreyOcelot · Dec 5, 2015

that's.....pretty solid. is DS1 on there?

Loudninja · Dec 5, 2015

Alright they just confirmed more:

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Mortal Kombat
F.E.A.R
The LEGO Movie Videogame
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
LEGO Batman: The Videogame

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015...h-subscription-for-99-99-9-new-games-from-wb/

They said it is limited time but I doubt it will stay that way.

They gave no cut off date.

Felix Lighter · Dec 5, 2015

If you are going to make use of the service, that seems about as reasonable a price as you can expect.

leroidys · Dec 5, 2015

That's pretty good. If I had better internet I'd probably subscribe. Would make me un-mothball my vita for sure.

Yep, I would jump in at $10 a month. .

EdReedFan20 · Dec 5, 2015

If they offered a PS+/PS Now annual bundle, would you get it. Added together, it'd be $150/year, but I assume there would be some sort of discount getting both together, maybe $120 or $125 per year. Would you jump on that offer if it was available?

That is less than that with the yearly subscription (99$/12)

Mailbox · Dec 5, 2015

Sounds like a great deal tbh.

don't know whether it streams well or not, but ps now is definitely on my radar now. Though, since i use other subscription services, i can't quite afford getting it yet. maybe when i have some extra disposable income in a year or 2

You would have to expect to pay a bit more if you aren't willing to make a year commitment.
