There it is.
I'll definitely be trying this!

Maybe one day their datacenters will be the biggest consumers of their console hardware.

Only PS3 games right now. This is the current list of PS Now games
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Now_games
All of Sony's own games aren't on the service right now. No GT's or Demon's Souls for example.

No, that's the remote play app.
I only see a link to download the Remote Play app.

in a couple years ? or maybe not at all
Maybe 3 years after the PS5 launch.
Yes and will probably stay that way. I don't see them doing a Xbox/Microsoft thing where almost every exclusive game of theirs is on pc.
Nice bait Oz
Sweet, it's official now. And the dongle doesn't even seem to be a glorified DRM device to use the service. I hope they'll have a trial or something.

Can you buy the game or do you have to rent indefintely?
All I really want is Lumines but when I rented it, the controller lag was pretty bad
Sony plans to keep their current generation exclusive to their console, and add the past generations to PS Now.
So yes, there is a reason, unless you don't care about PS4 games.
When the PS5 is available.
Sony's main reason to increase the price is the current strong Yen compared to the Dollar.
Currency fluctuations are annoying, mostly because Sony is based in Japan and not the US.
Having said that, I'd love to see that $9.99 per month for PS Now, I'd subscribe if they can hit that price.

Oh they still don't have PS4 games on this? I guess there wasn't much reason to before but eh. Totally uninterested then.

It's only a matter of time before PS4 games arrive and become more tha just streamed rentals. The writing is on the wall, people. Wake up.

They're very careful about how they try and pull you in with that last part. This just gives immediate wireless access without some of the issues bluetooth can bring. This won't bring official driver support with button prompts in games where developers didn't support the PS prompts.

All of the god of war games, all infamous games, killzone collection, all of the ratchet games, sly cooper and collections, last of us, uncharted, twisted metal. All of those are sony owned games, and most outside of ratchet are made by their studios.
So I have no clue what your talking about when your saying sony's games not being on the service.

Well that's pretty cool, but... kind of defeats the purpose of consoles now if all their exclusives end up being available on PC. At least this isn't exactly like Microsoft's "Play Anywhere" (or whatever it's called) feature in that this is a subscription-based streaming service, and only the PlayStation 3's library too.
I don't want to sound petty or greedy, but I hope that the PlayStation 4's library doesn't ever (at least not anytime soon) end up on PlayStation Now, because I'm a console guy and I wouldn't the main reason for owning a PlayStation to kind of be, well, gone.
I'll at least take comfort in knowing that my friends who don't have a PS3 can try out its exclusives now, I suppose.

Remote Play is already available on Mac, which is what this references, but it appears Playstation Now is only coming to Windows for the time being.

Uhh, yes? I play a lot of Japanese games and only half of them make it to the PC. Additionally, I enjoy PS4 exclusives.
I don't know why people ask that question, because you know it's just gonna be some low tier shitpost of "those games suck!"
