I'm pretty sure everyone knows cheap discounts can be had on Steam. It's no big secret. Cheap discounts can be had on PS Plus too but that's a different feature.

Steam and PS Now is an apples to oranges comparison. I use Steam everyday and even I struggled to make that comparison. It made more sense for me to compare with GameFly. I agree that prices are way too high but hoping they adjust them to more reasonable prices after the Beta is complete and they release the service…

Perhaps the equation should be a little more balanced? Netflix only does movies which are about half to a third of the price of a typical game and are about two hours of entertainment. A game on the other hand can be 10s to 100s of hours of entertainment depending on the game. So 2 games for ~$4/mo is not so bad,…

Prices have been changing during this beta. I wouldn't take everything screen-capped as being written in stone.

I tested on my 50Mbps wired connection. Worked well enough for a streaming service for me. I probably wouldn't use it for games with precise twitch timing but I tested out Dragon's Lair with its quick time events and didn't notice any latency at all. That may change when more people join the service but so far so good.

It's not piracy when the game is out of print!

True, I agree. Looks like they're working on a sub model, as well. I'm most interested in what that price will be rather than renting a single game by the hour/day/week/month/90 days/etc.

Sony better give 8-10 games for $5.00 or their logic is flawed.

It's still in beta, so technically it hasn't started yet.

Typical MS troll.

Not everyone wants to pirate games just because they're old.

Don't think they're using it as a cop-out in this instance. You need to beta test a streaming service.

It's easy based on the assumption that he's at liberty to discuss those topics. I sensed the evasiveness but maybe you would have been better served with answers by interviewing the person who made the announcements than a director who's only focused on his present job.

And jobless, like this guy...

I'm glad he resisted the urge to just say, "Deal with it!"

Didn't know promises needed to be kept in BETAS.

The thing is you can't hack the system to force them to work with EA. ;)

I doubt it's because of infrastructure despite your back-end experience. Sony already does this with PS Plus subscriptions and they have many more games than EA has in their Plus library. I think it's more because of the direction competition it poses against PS Plus & PS Now.

I guess you weren't around during the early days of last gen.

I'm sure the other pubs will follow suit i.e. Activision, 2K, etc. with their own little subscription plans.
