PS5 can’t read CDs.

Yeah and Sony exactly how to do that. Which is why they have been so successful. Why you think they going after live service games? They are changing and shifting to match the trends. We can have our opinions but ultimately they mean nothing. Sony are in the business and know much more than any of us possibly can.

"It's welcome and long overdue": Analysts on PlayStation's new subscription service
The news that PlayStation is reconfiguring and merging its subscription services is long overdue, and should result in …
www.gamesindustry.biz
Goodman says there is huge growth opportunity for PlayStation. PS Now's current audience is around 5% of Sony's console install base, he says, whereas Game Pass has appealed to over 40% of the Xbox fanbase.
"40% of their install base is the benchmark [for PS Plus Extra or Premium]," he explains. "But even if they get up to 20%, or even 15%, I would make the argument that that would be really successful. Maybe not by comparison, but certainly from a revenue perspective."
Trying to do the ARPU/Revenue change.

From someone who's gaming on xbox atm with Gamepass.... The mid tier seems somewhat worth it.... But that high end tier is terrible. Paying extra to steam PS3games.... What were they thinking.

Does not apply to digital purchases, which many of us made in good faith, but fair point about the CDs themselves.

Just so dumb.
You announce this shit two months early? Really? No catalog announced? Fuck of Sony, I'm this close to taking my money elsewhere. Ok so you're telling me I will be able to spend more money, COOL

That's definitely my only real gripe with Game Pass, no discount for buying in 3 month or 12 month quantities like most subscription services offer

Sony probably saw how successful Nintendo has been getting people to pay more to stream N64 & Genesis games

Nothing to see here. Didn’t want PS Now, don’t want this. It’s actually got me thinking do I even need PS+ as I don’t play online…
Sony is in a rut IMO. They’re doing well now, but if they are too scared or feel too comfortable to change and innovate and just rely on their current popularity it won’t be too long before they find out the market is value driven and most people are fickle.
This isn’t “concern” btw which seems to be the fanboys attack of choice on anything that doesn’t love everything.
Even the biggest Sony fans are having to fight to sound excited about this crap. It’s not offensively bad or anything, just boring and predictable. I was hoping for competition, to drive Microsoft to fight even harder - this shit isn’t that. It’s bog standard and not very good generic sales and marketing.

Gamepass Ultimate, the one that also includes Gold, is $180 yearly tho, as it doesn't offer a yearly option on their store. It's literally $60 cheaper than Gamepass Ultimate.
Also, why would you pay it monthly when it offers you an annual option? Microsoft should follow suit and offer a discounted yearly option tbh.

I my opinion MS is pushing for market share.... they are spending a lot of money for that... if it will work or not we will only see on future.
But when they stop that marketing push we will see how day one, or the price of their services, or quality of titles, etc will stabilize.

Pretty sure PS1/PS2 software emulation works fine, local PS3 emulation seems impossible on these machines which is why it's only offered via streaming.

Sure, but the question was about using your original discs. But yeah, letting you play your digital purchases of those games would be nice.

Will stick with tier 1 until I see the catalog. Still... I feel it's a bad move to make the ps classics being locked on the last tier. Show me your damn games Jimbo.

Doubt it. They will handpick and mostly select what people know and want with the initial 340. You really trying to play up the "2% of library" point.
You think it's a bad thing we can't stream American Idol or MTV Celebrity Deathmatch, and bad that they're being left out of that 2%?

If you're wanting niche games, yeah. All the big titles will likely be there.
If Microsoft had called Xbox Live Gold ‘Gamepass Lite’, you warriors would have been screaming blue murder about MS padding the subscriber count
Anyone with brains will compare the two upper tiers of PS Plus with Gamepass.

Bummer, i dont get why their bc offerings cant be as robust as microsofts. Hopefully the selection of ps1 and 2 games will be vast to make up for the lack of ps3 downloads

This is about as lame as I expected it to be
Still have my PSX, PS2, 2X PS3's, Had PS4 but sold it for lack of interest, PSP and Vita
Zero Interest unless I can stream from PC without a console never got to play that FOTNS Lost Paradise game (which never came to PC for some stupid reason)

That is what I said... the exceptions.
Look at PS+ and PSNow releases and list the day one launches.
You will probably count in one hand.

How could you know it's disappointing if there isn't a list of games released yet? People are truly childish here. I'm waiting for the list - then I will judge if it's worth it. I hope that they will offer some great price for gamers updating from essential tier.

So pretty much what was expected, is there any details about the splashy line-up or will that come later?

That is not their current operating model and as I posted previously in the thread they are moving to include more third party games, this is simply showing the proof they are making moves to do this.

Death Stranding
God Of War
Marvel's Spider-Man (+ Miles Morales)
Mortal Kombat 11
Returnal
Some of these game were in the PS Plus collection. Most have already been played by PlayStation fans.
You don’t expect them to change their stance on day one launches for their major AAA titles, but I'm surprised Sony couldn’t be arsed to launch MLB into this service…especially when it’s heavily monetized with MTX.

Seems reasonable.
Anybody expecting first party games day 1 was deluding themselves, it was never on the table.

Well Jim is right, PS1-2 games look bad. Especially when compared to PS4-5 games.Straight out of jimbo's mouth.
"Why would anybody play this?" says Sony's Jim Ryan about backwards compatibility
Backwards compatibility support on PlayStation 4 is a feature many want, but only a few will actually use, according to…www.vg247.com
And I agree with him.
BC for PS1-3 is highly requested, but is actually not going to be used much when people start playing them and realize how bad they look.

Moving? What proof? One game? They already did that with others games in the past but it was never a moving trend... it was about an indie they wanted to promote/help just like well that link you posted.

I guess they will be selling the ps1, ps2 and psp games separately though right? That would be pretty awesome.

sure at Black Friday when retailers put them on sale, but otherwise those cards are just paying for 3 months at full price up front

only God of War was, MKX was but not MK11 and someone can correct me if I'm wrong but Spider-Man & Death Stranding definitely weren't
