couple updates on the store I find interesting:

- all the pre-order bonus missions are available for watch dogs if you have a season pass....if you don't have one, might wanna get it, it's a lot of shyt they're offering already that you can only get with the season pass including weapons and missions...i'm sure they will eventually release them for purchase, but it'll cost more than $20 for all the shyt...

- resogun has a new add-on for $5....but they also have a season pass for $8....since i got the game free and i like HM as devs, I'm copping the season pass to show my thanks, support...if yall like resogun or other HM games, i recommend yall do the same to show support....

Playstation Now beta prices are not as dreadful as they appear


It was a bit of a shock when the Playstation Now prices were leaked online. Sony, a company with a growing reputation for providing exceptional value for money, seemed to have made a huge misstep with the pricing structure of the rentable games available on the service – but is it really as awful as it appears?

On the surface, the games currently in the Playstation Now beta do seem over priced. The general pricing structure is $2.99-4.99 per 4 hours, $5.99-$7.99 for a week, and $14.99-$29.99 for a month. This price varies between downloadable PSN games and full retail release but either way, the Playstation Now prices do feel inflated – especially when you can pick up a pre-owned copy of some of the games for as much as renting it for a month via Playstation Plus.



But is Playstation Now really that expensive OR is it worth the price of admission? Lets take a look at what you actually get for your money.

The Playstation Now beta is currently running on the PS3 and PS4 but the service will eventually span to the Vita, certified mobiles and tablets and personal computers. This will offer an unprecedented level of connectivity – start a game on your Sony TV, continue the same session on your tablet on the way to work, get a quick session in on a laptop during lunch and finish off on a PS4 at your friend’s house. The games you want, instantly, on almost any device you own. This is an incredible service and one worth paying a little extra for.

One of the main objections to Playstation Now in general is the lack of ownership of the games you pay for. Several of the main Playstation Now naysayers claim it is much cheaper to just buy a second-hand copy of the games and then trade them in. As a comparison, here is the math.
To rent Saints Row The Third via Playstation Now, based on beta prices it will cost £17.68 (current conversion from US$ to Sterling) for a month.
To buy a second-hand copy of Saints Row The Third from GAME, it will cost £10.99.
Add to this £4 for return bus travel/parking & petrol per trip to the store. Saints Row The Third is worth £2 as trade in value at GAME. All of this equates to a total of £16.99 (once the trade in value has been deducted).
The result? Playstation Now is 69 pence ($1.17) more expensive than going to a store to pick up the game. A small price to pay for such convenience.

Of course, this is the beta and we do not know what the final rental periods, prices or Netflix-style subscription fees will look like but is Playstation Now really that expensive? No. In fact, for a service that will eventually be revolutionary in its flexibility and availability, Playstation Now seems like a bargain.

EDIT: I did not include online shopping as I did not see it as comparable to Playstation Now. The idea was to compare the service to the quickest alternative. Waiting for a package to arrive can take several days Paying for over night or same day delivery does not impact the result – Playstation Now is cheaper in this instance (by £4.18).

its too expensive. should be a flat rate for everything.

no it shouldn't....the price to rent something for hours shouldn't cost the same to rent it for week(s) or a month...just like it shouldnt be the same price for renting a newer title vs an older title....

makes too much sense tho. sony's being real stingy with the catalogue.......

it doesn't make sense for a flat rate...like I said above: to rent something for hours shouldn't cost the same to rent it for week(s) or a month...add on the fact that you get to stream the game instantly to a phone, tablet, tv, etc. and don't need a console makes $3-$30 bucks worth it.....

also, it's not sony that's setting the catalogue....I'm sure they'll open up access to all the games they developed/produced, but 3rd party games they have no say over...that's up to those devs....in addition to what games are available: it's not sony that's setting the price for the games, it's the devs....I'm sure sony set the range ($3 - $30), but the price in that range for a game is set by the devs of said game....

....those complaining about this come off as entitled and spoiled more than anything...the main reason: the service is optional, you don't have to use it (I know I rarely will, I buy all the games I want to play)....seriously, this isn't aimed at you so called 'hard core' gamers...this is aimed at casual gamers...the ones that buy a system, but only cop a couple big titles here and there mostly....it's aimed at social gamers that play on phones and tablets, playing shyt like Farmville, candy crush, etc....sony just offering the option to play a real video game instead of those type of games...yea, it's a money grab, but I'm cool with it cause those muthafukkas willing to spend money on this...and ultimately that's why sony in business....and again: it's optional, if you don't want to use it, you don't have to.....but yall complaining muthafukkas feel like it's yall right to have it structured around yall and that $3-$30 is too much money...get the fukk outta here...
