Lol what? 400 is LESS than Game Pass has and that's not including the incoming Activision drop

Okay. That's encouraging. Returnal and Miles Morales are great titles.
Ill wait and see , although rubbish to see ps3 games only streaming, what about people who havnt got a decent internet connection, like the idea of downloadable ps1/2 games but would like to see the list if games, as for the ps4/ps5 games i kinda think ive bought or played the games i wanted to play already

They could have worded the different tiers better but PS+ Extra sounds like a strong contender for GamePass at the same price but with (arguably) a stronger selection of games since this is one area where Sony currently lead over Microsoft although I would expect that to change over the coming years with all the new studios that Microsoft have been buying. I currently subscribe to GamePass but have not been that impressed by the selection of games on offer as most of them I have already played and the first-party triple-A releases are pretty thin on the ground. Most new games aren't even available on GamePass in my experience (Dying Light 2, WWE 2K22, all games I have had to buy for example).
PS+ Premium is an instant turn off for me though. *Streamed* PS3 games? No thanks! If this had been a service offering backward compatible PS3 games on the PS5 then I might have been interested but I no desire to play laggy, artifact ridden games on my PS5 even though I have a very good 940 Mbps down / 180 Mbps up direct-into-the-home fibre connection. I've tried these on several different platforms and have yet to be impressed by any streamed games, though they can a least be a good way to try a game before buying it.

Nah, GP has about that many console games. Maybe double the PC GP offering.
I doubt I’m even going to hold onto my basic tier plan when it comes up for renewal. Sony enticed me into re-subscribing by giving me a year for $30, but I’ve downloaded absolutely nothing and I don’t really engage with multiplayer games anymore.
I do enjoy retro titles, but I own and have ripped pretty much everything I would ever want to revisit. There’s nothing here for me.

There is no way they thought this is the answer to gamepass

Psplus with psnow offerings. Not too surprising or very different sounding so far. Maybe they will get some major 3rd party or ps5 launch games on it.

So, will GAF in general be more receptive to Jeff Grubb now ?
He was 100% right with this leak month(s) ago.

GP on consoles has 447 games
GP on PC has 413 games
To stave off Xbox from eating into their market share.
They're in a pretty serious content and price war with Microsoft, so it's probably not realistic to be able to sustain current margins.

Baffles me how badly Sony have cocked up the announcement of this.
The reception to this would've been far greater if you actually announced some of the "retro" titles we were getting for the PS3 on streaming, but nope, keep their cards close to their chest when it harms no-one but themselves.

Rofl. I was expecting something bad, but this is literally worse.
No day one first party games with samje price as GPU with first-party games. And PS1/PS2 games locked behind most expensive option? And no streaming in my country?
At least Jimbo can brag, that his PS Plus has double amount of subs as Game Pass
but PS+ standard is staying the same for the same amount so not really the same thing
It is pretty much what was expected.
The fact that ps1, ps2 and psp games will be downloadable is great.
Only ps3 is streaming only because there isn't an emulator.
Game trials are interesting as well, although the impact will depend on how many new games they will apply to.
Let's see the games lineup, the value is great, they have done all they could besides day one first releases which of course no one was expecting at least at this stage.

Looks like PS now memberships will be rolled over into the new top-tier service. Which is an objective upgrade so that's nice.

Some additional old games? 400 PS4 and PS5 games + 340 PSOne PS2 and PS3 games don't count?

Like all his guesses he was not.
He predicted: $10, $13 and $16.
Plus he got wrong the features of each tier… for example streaming was only a option for the $16 option.

I'll get top tier when I see the game list. Definitely a lot of ps1 and ps2 games that I would love to play again. Hope they have patapon for psp as well.

So it's like a refresh of the ps now games but you pay more?
How will they handle people with both plus and now?

Only fanboys said this was a direct competitor to gamepass. I shouldn't need to remind you that PS is doing just fine without it.

My Plus sub lapsed last summer when I forgot my credit card was expiring, and I said at the time I'd resubscribe once there was a free monthly game I was even remotely interested in.
We're like 9 months on and I'm still waiting...
I am waiting for confirmation but it should do otherwise I am jumping to onto a lawsuit.
I bought ps now like 3 days ago for a year and a 12 month card ps now today.

They got the pricing right. Being more expensive than Gamepass would have been a killer. Clearly the PS3 is tough to emulate consistently so going with streaming is the best idea. I haven't had PS+ in a while, and I am happy to continue that. If they said day and date release of Sony First party games, I would sign up.
