PSNow Beta Prices are Insane
[quote]Sony has added prices to the beta for their PlayStation Now streaming service, and though these are experimental numbers—it's a beta, after all—the current prices are insane.
What's more, as of right now, PS Now beta testers actually have to pay to play games. If I want to test out the service, I have to dish out crazy amounts of cash....
.....There's a little note on the bottom of PlayStation Now that reads: "Game titles and features shown are for testing purposes only. Not indicative of the final price." But anyone who's in the beta right now has to pay these prices. I just tried to rent Deus Ex: Human Revolution and had to pay $4.99 for four hours of the privilege.
And it looks like prices like this could be here to stay. From the PS Now FAQ: "The upcoming Open Beta will test multiple pricing tiers and rental durations. You will see shorter rental periods prices as low as $2.99 and most titles are between that and $19.99. More information to be announced later...."[/quote]
Granted, these prices are [probably] scheduled to change. Seems pretty high. What are your thoughts on PSNow and experience with the service? (assuming you're in the beta)

1 ReplyHere's a theory I have about Sonys strategy. As we know the company is failing. They just can't make a good profit. And since Playstation is their most successful product line- and probably one of the most expensive to upkeep they just decided to go with a plan to make tons of money and save money. First with the PlaystationNow prices as we know being quite overpriced, then the plan of cutting down first party exclusives and replacing them with indies, and also erasing Vita from existence. This would make them a lot of money and save a lot as well.
