PlayStation Now is a scam!
Does anyone actually use PlayStation Now? It seems like a huge bonfire for money to me. I will never rent a game by the hour that's ridiculous! And the price to have it for x days is the same price, or more, as many of the games you can get to keep and download for ever on your PS!
I am I alone or is this a scam?
Edit: capitalized PlayStation Now just to make this look better.
Edit: I do own a PS if that's not obvious and I enjoy it.
Edit: I actually like the idea of being able to play classics and try a variety of games by renting. But with the prices they are offering I will not bite! I think, as people have suggested, there should be a subscription. I also think it would be good to have a PlayStation Plus Ultra ( or whatever it could be called) which would include the renting service Now provides.
I also changed the the title.

2 RepliesNot a *scam*...because they are giving you what you've paid for. But their service is WAAAAYYYY over-priced. It's in its beta phase, so Sony is just knocking around trying to see "what the market will bear" (what people are willing to pay). They are trying to see if they can get people to pay the same sort of money they would if they went to a store and rented the actual disc. But that model is obsolete. PSN will lose money until it figures out that their price structure needs to be a monthly subscription fee that gives you unlimited access to the entire library. Sort of like Pandora, Netflix or Hulu. I certainly won't have any interest in using it until its price structure changes.
