it still hasn't come to europe, and seeing the lack of gamefly here, is something i actually would consider. But do you think it's worth the price or are you totally avoiding it?

it depends on how much you'll use it. if there are a lot of games on there you haven't played before and you have the time to play it a lot then it's worth it

A lot of it depends on how good your internet is. I used Onlive a bit back in the day(thankfully never paid for anything from them myself, considering they ended up ripping everyone off when they went under) and I thought it was a pretty cool service, but that's only because my internet connection is pretty decent.

Nope. It's trash, mostly because of its horrid value proposition. That, and the fact that it's a microcosm of a future where I retain no ownership of my games and need to be always online to play them, makes me immediately hate what it is.

Yes, but not PS Now. PS Now itself is, as I said, a microcosm of the kind of future I don't want, and hence I shall not support it.

I hate it. I hope Sony abandons it and brings back backward compatibility. Depends on how many suckers sign up to it though.

I hate the entire concept of Playstation Now and I'm avoiding it like the plague.

I don't think I have ever wanted something gaming related to fail as much as I want Playstation Now to fail. If it is successful, it will set a bad precedent for the future and this is not what I want the future of gaming to be. I do not want to stream games, I do not want to pay for rentals instead of actually owning the game, and I do not want to repay for games that I already own due to companies ripping us off with services like this instead of offering backwards compatibility.
