Sony’s very own streaming service, PlayStation Now, has been extended to PlayStation TV and Vita starting on October 14, 2014. So far, PlayStation Now has generally received positive remarks, earning high praise from many who consider the service a promising step forward in the right direction. The extension of the beta comes just in time, as PlayStation TV launches in North America on the same day. PlayStation TV will have a launch price tag of around $99.
PlayStation Now offers gamers the opportunity to stream many old and popular titles that are generally low-priced, costing between $2 and $19.99. Sony has responded to the current prices of rentals, stating that they are subject to change when the actual service launches. PlayStation Now requires that gamers have a steady and reliable connection in order to get the best out of the service. There are hundreds of titles in the beta’s current catalog of games, with more titles being added over time.
For those who have never had the chance of playing some of the last generation classics, PlayStation Now offers a solid solution to that dilemma. For example, Sony Santa Monica’s hit, God of War Ascension, is available to stream along with Sucker Punch’es, Infamous.
For those looking for a chance to rent, cheaply and to stream games instantly, PlayStation Now is a solid option which should only get stronger over time as more titles are added.
