Sony has unveiled that its PlayStation Now streaming service will soon bring PlayStation 3 games to PC. PS Now allows subscribers to play PlayStation 3 games over the internet, similar, according to VentureBeat.com, to the way Netflix streams movies and television programs. The subscription will cost $20 per month or three months for $45 and includes some of PlayStation 3's most popular games.

    Yes. I've been using it on my PS4 for a while, it works relatively well. I'm hoping with the PC version the connection can be better than it is on the PS4. The PS4s network connectivity is awful, even on a direct connection, doing tests it varies from 20 down to 100 down each time isn't even close to the max my internet connection can do.

    The now service has a lot of really cool games, and for the price I think it's relatively worth it. The issues I have are mainly due to input delay, which if the game requires any form of precision it's very hard to play due to slight input delay on bad connections.

    $20 per month? They must really believe they have a great product.

    Sony are obviously trying to counter Microsoft's push into the "Games for Windows" initiative where XBox titles will be available on the PC.

    Sony have to keep the PlayStation relevant, otherwise XBox/Windows will get ALL the exclusives...

    I actually see more exclusives when I look at Sony's lineup then XBox. But this is great news. As I PC gamer I'll be getting future XBox releases and I'll be able to play some PS games that I missed out on. It's a win-win for everyone involved.

    WOW!

    I think 20$/month is cheap price if they really give access to hundreds of games. I just hope they have servers located close enough to minimize the lag.

    $20 is steep, especially if you already own most of these games physically.

    That's because they do have a great product, have you seen the games lineup? Some of the best video games of that console generation available.

    Well, why would you be subscribing to their service if you already had the games? It's not steep for those who haven't tried many of the games on the list.


    Always so much implied negativity on this site.

    I left the PS when Xbox Halo craze happened. So I have allot of games to catch up on. So worth 20 a month if the connection is solid.

    I find this to be an amazing idea. I jumped right on the trial on my PS4. But I didn't renew. Not because of the price tag. I wouldn't even renew if it was $1 a month, as I wwouldnt use it. Because of the delay in input, the games handles weird and poorly.

    But it is an amazing idea. Just hope they one day, let us download the games, and just run a small authentication program in the background, so you still have to subscribe, and that would hopefully let us play without that delay.
