Everything we know about PlayStation Now so far

If this turns out good I will be dumping my ps3 and all of my ps3 games should get me a good headset or a collector's edition game or two.

I just wanna play GTA V on a PS4 since my PS3 broke.

Technology will get better, but streaming 1080p is not easy. You need a good internet service at 1mb/s, and Sony will need an imposing infrastructure.

I think it's a fantastic idea... now if they can price it around 10$ per month. Playing PS4 games on my PC... hell yeah.

PSOne games support? While I haven't owned my old PSP in 4 years, I still have PSOne goodies on my old PSN account.

Yeah, if we could pick a resolution output to send from the cloud servers to our TV to cut down on internet useage, that'd be great.

LOL, PS NOW!!!!

PlayStation now is a double edged sword for the gaming industry, it's great that you'll be able to stream PS-PS2-PS3 games to mobile devices like cellphone, laptops and VITA the negative impact is there will be drop in quality of the games because of video compression issues and internet speed problems and the ability to stream games directly to a SONY TV without the need of a PlayStation console is very disheartening

"The CES demo stations Sony had set up were running through the PlayStation Now network, but we don’t know exactly how far away those servers were located from the convention" -- actually, we do. Ars Technica reported that those PlayStation Now - servers were running locally within the CES.

There was definitely lag on the service. There are videos to prove it. If you're playing a RPG or puzzle game, it probably won't matter much. Playing FPS, Platform games with jumping, sports games and any other game with with timing accuracy, you'll be effected.

OnLive has been around for about 3 years now and it still experience latency issues. This service will get better as broadband speeds increase. Microsoft is also working on a similar B/C for the XBox One, but they probably won't launch their service until 2015. With over 300K dedicate server, they will have the space for the games and all the users who want to access them. We'll see how the beta test goes with Playstation Now.

Looks really cool. I'll have no chance of getting it for a long, long while. But something I look forward to in the future.

PlayStation now we be at it's full potential 7 years from now when internet speeds are at 50 mbps standard across the board for everyone, I have a 52 mbps connection but most of my friends don't so PlayStation now should be renamed "PlayStation later"

This will only work when networking technology increases, which is at a very slow rate. I would say 10 - 15 years from now it will work properly and perfectly.

I'm gonna keep my eye on this. I have a tablet that I do use a DS3 on to play emulated games, but only really up to the PS1/N64/GBA generation. Playing PS3 games on it would be pretty awesome. I'd like to rent one game individually just to see how it works in the "real world". If it works out, great! If not, never mind....try again maybe a few years from now.

Kinda obvious that it's only 720p streaming. It won't be able to handle 1080 for quite some time yet, let alone 4K.

I like almost everyone else likes to get, at least 1 dvd with my streaming.

Playstation Meow.

i would like to see crash bandicoot games in HD

You can bet that the most popular games will get a HD PS4 version released. They'll port them if it's worth it.

Would be interesting to see an "Rent-to-own" type system.

That way we could try out games we might not otherwise buy - and if we like it, we can buy it at an subsidized cost.

Would be so much better if you could just download the games to your system and play them.. even if you have to buy each game individually.

i dont understand why they just dont let us download the game to console and than play it whitout any problems, like the idea of games rental, but i dont see why they are making problems for them self and consumers as well. I see how they want to save us from sometimes annoying game downloads, but maybe they should offer game download option for people who dosent have strong internet connection

Considering that I have a 50/25 mbps connection and netflix still slows occasionally, especially when I use the app on my smart tv, I don't see how this isn't going to be frustrating as hell to use...

Who wrote this article? Did you expect 1080p? All the PS3 games are 720p or less!
