Of course you're not. That's why you're going to play those games on your PS3.
Like no one would pay for Nintendo VC when they can just play their games on older consoles.

Why would I pay a cent when I can't even see how well the service works? I'd totally play Catherine tonight if I could just be assured I'd be getting my money's worth.
The fighting games?

Publishers are fucking ridiciculous with what they believe their games are valued at. Who in their right mind would pay that? Or maybe its a deterrent to just get people to buy the actual game...used.
I think PS Now is a great idea, but there should be some sort of subscription feature. I am not going to pay $50 for a two-year old game rental for 90 days.
However, I'd be interested in paying $40 a year to access some chunk of games. Maybe Sony could give us an option to pick 5 games or so to put on an access queue. You could get the chance to rotate them out every month or so and add new games. I don't know, hell anything is better than this, even the EA Access vault plan. (Never though I'd say that).

For comparison, currently $40 on Amazon to own the damn thing outright.

Sony, please.
It's 25 bucks on Amazon with the MSRP still being 49.99.
Better off buying it at that price.
emmm, that's not exactly the best analogy you can make.
I would but I already own all of the ones listed. Not really interested in buying a game twice.

Question is how does Sony do this while keeping the sub price manageable and keeping pubishers happy on their returns.

Maybe Sony is purposely making PS Now awful to contrast how awesome PS+ is.

It's called sarcasm.
oh, that makes sense, sorry about that.

It would be nice if there was one game on there to test the connection and latency. They should toss up one of the Uncharted games for free.
Also, I thought there would be an app for the dashboard? I'd prefer that over having to go to the store.

It'd be nice for a single free game to test, yeah. Maybe they could do a rotating single game that's free to rent for a bit so you see how it runs.
Personally I'll throw $2 in to screw around if I can stop playing velocity 2x for 4 hours. ...maybe next week.

Confirms that publishers set the price.
Thats why you pay for the games you never played before, and play the games you did on your older consoles.
That or the ZOE HD Collection might be good.

So do trophies work for these games currently?

Yeah. It was more of a sarcastic statement to myself.
Otherwise I would have added the "/s"

Shame my PS3 licences don't translate over. that would have been too easy though, let me have games i've already paid for with the service as a go between.
I'll be trying one game, probably Cathrine, just to satisfy my curiosity about how well it works, then i'll be waiting for a subscription structure if i do it at all.

No it's not BS. Expecting to stream games for free is fucking ridiculous and Sony would be beyond idiotic to do so.
With that said the pricing structure as it is right now isn't good. But lets be real here. We need to see how the sub option is being handled before really judging this. That's the model that will determine the success or failure of PS Now. This could be the Netflix of games if they get the price as well as content available for the sub right. If they get it wrong it will fail. Can't wait to find out.

For people saying there should be a free game to test, there should be some up. I haven't accessed this new update, but previous catalogues had a couple of free games to try.
Those games are now paid =/

Final Fantasy 13 is 7.99 for 30 days.
I've never played any FF games in my 30 or so years of gaming, but I've always been interested in trying. I've never seen one that cheap either in stores so to me this is a great price. I don't know what used game prices are like in the US. But in Canada, I'm ok with some of these PSNow prices. I really am.

Becomes baffled, curling up into a ball when confronted with three controller options.
This is hilarious, you can rent the mgs collection for 4 hours for $2.99
Just enough time to beat the whole series

I think the prices for the most part seem very reasonable. Not the 4 hour ones mind you (I wouldn't use that anyways tbh), but for 7 days and a month, I could see myself renting quite a bit of games at the current price point.
I might be willing to throw $2 in if the wallet system didn't work the way it does. $2 is really $5. Sony needs to stop that shit too. There should be no minimum funding amount.

In addition to a sub I think a pay to buy option should be there.

still don't "get" this....why rent when you can buy for the same or similar prices?
i get it if these are the prices for brand new games...
at least they are working on a subscription format

The fuck? That's obscene...
Can someone be the greatest gaffer ever and list all the prices?
Because not everyone has a PS3.
