Hell yes. One of the best games ever finally available for non-PS owners.
Hope launch -> PS Now delays get even shorter because I don't think I will be buying a PS5.

Yeah that's pretty neat. Sony, Amazon, Google should hurry to enter the brazilian market. (this is madness there fir Xcloud and GFN)

Pretty cool.
With our weak Xbox one, we'll be able to play next gen games with Xcloud, Stadia and soon Geforce now on your old TV. (it will be awesome on a 1080p TV but blurry on 4K screen).
For people prefering 60FPS over 4K resolution, it's a goddam blessing. (they can wait years before to buy next gen consoles since 95% of their library is cross gen for now)

Hard to think cloud won't be a major pillar of video game in the future.

Cloud services are not snoozing at all.
GFN upgraded, Stadia is getting new feature every months and it seems xcloud is enhancing latency:

Microsoft And Sega Are Teaming Up For Next-Gen Cloud Gaming
The two companies are entering into a strategic alliance built on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform
kotaku.com
Microsoft sure never won a generation against Sony (except a tie with the 360) but they really take the cloud war seriously: They'll force Amazon, Google, Sony or Nvidia to step up their game.
(except Nintendo who doesn't give a shit with crappy cloud tech on Switch
)Well done, Microsoft !

not sure why you are linking to that toxic reee forum but I hope they will reduce the input lag, somehow its much worse than geforce which for example runs flawlessly.Cloud services are not snoozing at all.

A lot of feedbacks about xcloud:
www.resetera.com
The "latency is too high for most people" narrative is ancient history.
Even with the weakest cloud tech (Xcloud) many gamers have no lag with average internet. (with a minority having terrible experience).
Amazon, Microsoft, Google increasing their datacenters everywhere, in 10 years, it will be rare to find a place where Stadia, GFN, PS NOW offer a bad experience (at least you'll find one datacenter near your house)
MS just turned my Xbox One S into a Xbox Series S
Stealth streaming thread I guess. I signed up to Game Pass today just to try out cloud gaming. I live in regional Australia with pretty average internet and I was expecting to get a 'your internet is too slow' and be locked out of trying it altogether. To my surprise it worked. Not only does...

Surely PSNow is the weakest, but idk what the hardware they run off of is. I would guess ps3s and ps4s right? Either way I'm glad to see more impressions come throughA lot of feedbacks about xcloud:

Another Stadia Premiere edition promotion (Available in US only):
Purchase any game priced at $29.99 or more and get a free Premiere Edition.
Full details here: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/11398635
If you have a $10 off promotion then you can use that to reduce a game to under $29.99 and you will still be eligible. From GraceFromGoogle over on the Reddit:
Q: Can I use the $10 coupon when making a purchase?
A: Yes. Related to the above, as long as the purchase price for a game or bundle is $29.99 or above, you are eligible for the Stadia Premiere Edition offer. In other words, if the purchase price is $29.99 and you use the $10 coupon to bring the price to $19.99, you'll still be eligible for the offer.
Also some deep discounts going on in the Stadia game store right now as part of the anniversary/Black Friday sale.
Some useful information if you're thinking about signing up for Pro or trying the service.
The Stadia controller can only be used outside of Stadia as a wired controller. It does have a Bluetooth radio but that's only used for initial pairing. After that it's not used for gameplay as it connects using Wi-Fi. Google did say that they can/might enable the Bluetooth radio for gameplay at a later date.
Every Pro game you'll get right now for signing up for Stadia Pro. You can sign up for a free month if you haven't signed up before. Pro is not required to use the service however does give you access to Pro exclusive sales, free games, and a 4k/HDR stream. Any game you buy outright you will have access to (1080p no HDR) even if you're not subscribed to Pro. Once your Pro subscription ends if you have not outright bought any of the games below then you will lose access however your saves will be saved if you ever decide to resubscribe/buy the game. Also any game you claim on Pro you will keep even if it's removed from the current Pro lineup:

Are anyone you rocking the nvidia shield to stream your steam games? If so, how do you like it? Is it worth $200?
Fat Frog
I advertised for Google Stadia
I don't know, i'm waiting sales.
200$ is a little pricy for me but i really want a single 4K box to switch from Stadia to GFN easily. (and i hope xcloud soon)
One more thing, take the Pro Shield not the regular. (only the Pro allows 60FPS)

The new GFN RTX3080 allows 1440 p but with all GFN sub or free Stadia (1080p) you can jump to 4K with Nvidia Shield Pro AI machine learning feature.
