He's making you look dumb... (slickertalk.com)

In response to Spawn: "$40 a year."

GYB! I gather there's a two-tier pricing system? I don't really understand PS vs PS+ either. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:43 23
- PS+ is the service that gives you online access and 6 free games per month. PSNow is a streaming service that gives you access to 100+ PS3 games... - Shaun Jan 5, 11:45 15
  - too confusing! -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:47 14
    - Fwiw, you're right. It is terribly named for marketing purposes. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:16 2
      - They probably invented Vudu. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:16 1
        
        Isn't there a saying about biting the hand that feeds you? -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:19
    - I *think* it is english he was speaking. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:48 1
      - Like I said... -- (link) - Shaun Jan 5, 11:49 [Backboard]
    - Not really... -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:47 8
      - But is there a PSN, PSN+, and PSNow? That's like three things. With Xbox there's just free or $ Live. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:48 7
        
        PSN = Xbox Live, PS+ = Xbox Live Gold subscription, PSNow = Netflix for PS3 games. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:50 6
        
        So it's a whole nother thing not like the rest! Why can't PSNow just be part of PSN+? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:53 5
        
        Because then being able to play online multiplayer on the PS4 would cost $250 a year. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 11:56 3
        
        (I do expect them to eventually get around to a streaming purchase model eventually.) - Ender Jan 5, 12:01
        
        Hence my asking is a PS-4 was included in that cost. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:57 1
        
        Sure sure... - Shaun Jan 5, 11:58
        
        idk, ask Japan. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:54
- PS+ is like Xbox Live. PS Now is Sony's game streaming service - think Gamefly -- nm - decline Jan 5, 11:44 6
  - PSNow basically serves as a way for PS4 owners to play previous PS1/2/3 games. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 11:45 5
    - It's definitely mainly geared, imo, toward 360 converts, but I suppose mostly anyone could find a use for it. I am not one of the people. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:46 4
      - Playing Mass Effects on my PS4 is fun. That's the only use I've found so far. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 12:00
      - I wish they'd get around to a "you bought this digitally on PS3? Here you can stream it for free" feature. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 11:48 2
        
        That would be a nice touch. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:53
        
        3? I want my Altered Beast!!! -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:50
