Received an email yesterday from Playstation letting me know I have been accepted for the private beta for the UK PS Now beta and was wondering if anyone else had the same email on here too?

Have installed it already and I must admit I like the way it has all been set out! Tried to play NASCAR 2014 but unfortunately my internet connection is too slow so won't allow me to play it, but I like what I see so far!

What do you other guys think?

Had completely forgotten about this, just checked my email and have been accepted too.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to check it out yet as the link in the email is just taking me to a webpage with "An unexpected error has occurred!" on it. Will keep trying until it goes through though and see what the performance is like on a pretty fast net connection.

I'm gutted my connection isn't fast enough to be able to use the service but that's my fault not Sony's, might have to take it to a mates house so I can at least get a go with it before it finishes!

Maybe I answered that shitty questionnaire wrong :lol:
160mb+ Internet too so not like that's not adequate. Never mind, will try and get hold of one elsewhere ;)

Code came through this morning and so far tried Dirt 3 and Uncharted 2. Surprised at the options available for Beta, transferred both my saves from the PS+ cloud and carried on from where I left off years ago! Loving it at the minute, having a right blast :)

Nice, that took it ages to come through to you though!

I need to take mine round my mum and dads house as their internet is faster than mine, sucks that I can't play it at home as I think the service is great and has a lot of potential!

Yeah was strange the delay, guess they're doing it in waves or something but glad I got in eventually though :)

It's definitely worth a try, I've been loving playing some of the old titles now I haven't got a PS3 no more, will certainly be giving Beyond Two Souls a blast and may even clear up some games I didn't get the plat on :lol:
My 2% completion for The Last of Us still bugs me ;)

[QUOTE="Duffman, post: 6443432]I only have 2% completetion on that game as well lol, would love to platinum it but it's just too much work for me![/QUOTE]
:lol:
I only got round to playing it before I got a PS4 so flew through it on easy. In hindsight I should've known a remaster was going to happen and wait but couldn't resist and didn't know at the time there'd be a remaster.

Damn that opening in Uncharted 2 is still one of the best I've come across in a game!
