I can get 3 years of gamepass ultimate for $1.
How is the gamepass deal WORSE than the PSnow deal? Do you also get 3 years for $1?

 

[BlitzerRadic]

This is why I think it's dumb when people say GamePass is some big advantage for xbox against Playstation. All sony has to do is decide to actually push the service.

 

[pasterpl]

And so it should be.

Just like how GamePass first blew my socks off when I saw the catalogue of games available after signing up for a dollar.

I legit don't know what to play sometimes. Pity the hard drive on the Series S is so fucking tiny at 512GB.

You can use external storage for lots of these games, non x|s optimised games will run normally from external hdd without need to copy files across. I have got Xbox series s + 8tb external hdd + gamepass as a gift for my nephew and he has got over 200 games installed.

 

[mxbison]

Yeah PS Now is good, they just did a horrible job with the marketing. Seems a lot of people still think it's just a streaming service without downloads.

They should just slap a new name on it and "relaunch" honestly.

Come on.... $1? How much Live Gold did you have to get before you could utilise that deal?

Both are great deals. Let's not pretend you didn't have to buy 3 years worth of gold before getting it for $1 for 3 years of gamepass.

Fucks sake...

Got to wonder where all the shill threads are for EA Play or humble choice (where you get to keep your games permanently by the way) are whenever they are on discount.

There was once a perception that console only gamers are dirty and broke but what I didn't realise was that it's to the extent that people are now willing to fornicate over what are essentially rental services.

Talk about completely bending over and relinquishing what little control you had left of your DRM box. We're approaching end-game now.

Just dump the games with acceptable non-SSD loading times on an external drive and play them from there forevermore. All good.

Tip - Wreckfest is NOT a game you want on an external drive!

This is Sander. Dude's not a Sony fanboy.

Wasn’t say the poster was a sony fanboy just how the thread is being treat, has Frank turned up yet to talk about inflating numbers with $1 promotion

 

[pasterpl]

There's a lot of great PS4 games for new gamers or people that don't subscribe to PS Plus. Lots of exclusives. It's actually impressive but people here won't let you have a positive thread about PS Now, as you can see by the replies.

I'm playing God of War Ascension on streaming and it looks good enough for me on a 4k screen.

i owned, own, played most of the older ps exclusive games on previous generations, can get most of multi platforms that are on psnow for next to nothing on cdkeys, gmg, steam sales, therefore psnow at $1 represent 0 value for me /s

am I doing it right? you write something like this in almost all gamepass threads, it would be funny if it wouldn’t be so sad

 

[Spukc]

But $1 gamepass is horrible for gaming, right?

word

xbox bad

 

[Gatox]

Surprisingly he hasnt joined in yet, but that Gods&Monsters moron incredibly thinks this is great

 

[Calverz]

Sony have been really pushing psnow lately....OP works for sony??

 

[n0body]

 

[SoloKingRobert]

Unlike PS Now, with Xbox Game Pass you actually get to play next gen games.

 

[ripeavocado]

As good as getting addicted to crack cocaine after trying one dose for 1$

 

[phil_t98]

It’s a good deal $1 and I ain’t criticising it but i just hate the negativity that gamepass gets, i am gonna try the PSnow deal though

Can you?

Yes

That is now bundled in GamePass threads.

 

[buenoblue]

Yeah I've played most of those games though. If you don't buy many games maybe subscription services are good but if like me you buy most major releases then it's not great. Though gamepass is better in this regard as it gives you new releases, though sadly big AAA microsoft games are few and far between theses days.

 

[Sander Cohen]

But $1 gamepass is horrible for gaming, right?

I’m not a console warrior dude, I’m sure it’s a great deal for Microsoft users. This is about fantastic deal for us Sony guys, that’s it. Especially for older games that you missed throughout the years - you can’t play them all. And streaming is only for PS3 games, you can download the rest.

We can all coexist (I think).

 

[balls of snow]

Or shut it down like Playstation Home. Could go either way with Sony.

 

[Gediminas]

it is best deal in gaming even for full price. it is just that good.

 

[The Hamburglar]

literally all you do is jerk off to gamepass on the forum, but now you had to go and bring up gamepass in a thread no one asked you about it.

you are horrible for gaming, right?

checks out. All his posts are a gamepass wankathon.

Btw not even the biggest sony stans ever said $1 for gamepass is bad.

 

[FrankWza]

I mean I paid $1 for 3 years of gamepass, so there’s that.

I can get 3 years of gamepass ultimate for $1.

You guys got a great deal. Lucky you got in before it ended.

Unlike PS Now, with Xbox Game Pass you actually get to play next gen games.

When?

 

[SLB1904]

Yes

What is this next gen you are talking about

 

[FrankWza]

What is this next gen you are talking about

Yeah, I was wondering that too. Maybe there’s a release date for something?

edit: just checked. no release dates yet.

 

[Schmick]

Word.

I'm a user of GPU and PSN for PC. Love them both. If it wasnt for PSN for PC I would not of been able to play TLoU or Uncharted.

I honestly dont care about them being regarded as 'rental services' which I see written in this forum, not to mention you can still buy the games if you so wish so nullifies that argument.

And the argument of.... "but it leaves GPU".... well then buy the game... at the discounted prices that GPU gives you.

 

[Schmick]

MS Flight Simulator Summer 2021

 

[FrankWza]

MS Flight Simulator Summer 2021

Sounds like a window to me
Also, it has 2020 in the title. So MSFS 2020...coming summer 2021

 

[MadPanda]

You didn't. Gold costs too, 60 a year, 40 for black friday.

 

[VN1X]

You're not allowed to swear!!!!1

 

[MetalRain]

I think PS Now has good games, I tried a little bit of God of War and Vampyr. But quality of stream is quite poor even with fast connection (over 100Mbps).

Game that is mostly night like Vampyr combined with fact that compression algorithms tend to compress dark areas more gives really bad image quality overall. I think game streaming services might need to have some kind of integration with the game engine so that game can tell which areas of the screen are more important instead "just" using psychovisual heuristics.

 

[cireza]

My main concern is that 1$ offers like these are bad for the developers, and bring the quality of releases down.

 

[Schmick]

Asobo has been pretty consistent with meeting planned deadlines.

And MSFS is called Microsoft Flight Simulator not Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Not that I quite understand what you are getting at. The game released in 2020 for PC.

Cool. What’s the release date?
It’s a 2020 game coming to a console with probably lesser specs than max settings on pc. So that’s their next gen game included with gp? Ok.

 

[Zoro7]

I got a year sub awhile ago and literally only found 2 or 3 games I wanted to play. Definitely wasn’t worth it for me. I’d rather buy games I want to play.

Lmfao

How much is Phil paying you to shill for gamepass every chans you get? Or are you one of those full time losers that do it for free

It looks great on the Series X.

Lmfao

whats funny? just wrote down the release window for FS.

 

[phil_t98]

You guys got a great deal. Lucky you got in before it ended.

When?

There are plenty of games on there that have next green patches or next gen versions

Gamepass is cross device (pc) fs2020 was on pc day 1, it is coming to Xbox in summer 2021, also will drop on gamepass for Xbox day1, in addition you have had games like falconer, the medium which are next gen only, both on gamepass, next gen version of dirt5is also on gamepass, outriders will drop on to day1 as well

 

[AJUMP23]

I was listening to the Easy Allies podcast yesterday and they talked about how PSNow wasn't very good.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Love the copypasta

 

[Blade2.0]

I do too. They are great. Gamepass is better I think but costs like 2x the price for a yearly subscription ibthink. So it is justified.

Both are great.

3 times if it's ultimate. But yes they are good value if you like what the catalogues have to offer.

 

[Blade2.0]

I can get 3 years of gamepass ultimate for $1.
How is the gamepass deal WORSE than the PSnow deal? Do you also get 3 years for $1?

How do.you get 3 years for a 1$?

 

[Schmick]

How do.you get 3 years for a 1$?

You cant, there was a time where you could convert Live Gold into GP so people bought 3 years of Gold on the cheap and for an additional £1 you could convert it to GP. Bittermich is not being completely honest.

 

[Jaysen]

They should charge 100 dollars to people who are too stupid to know which side of the number the dollar sign goes on.
