In response to "GYB! I gather there's a two-tier pricing system? I don't really understand PS vs PS+ either. -- nm" by Max

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...

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

- 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
