I signed up for the beta on the first day of sign ups. However I've been a member of plus since the first week it came out so that may play a part in it.



Because pookie knows what it is. We've had multiple threads on this forum explaining and discussing playstation now. Playstation now has seen a lot of press since it's announcement at CES.

I got an invitation via email

Nice. They aren't sending out redemption codes until next week at the earliest because that will be the start of a new fiscal quarter.

Hopefully they update the game list too because I've played all the games worth it on that list

Is it too late to sign up for the beta? I'm assuming it is.

lets all leave d2jsp forever and strictly use google

Think you can sign up for info but it launches fully in a couple months. I don't know if they'll do another round of beta or not. Worth a shot though. Can't find the link anymore though because I'm already signed up

I looked around and found a "register for info" on the playstation website, so I registered. I'm still undecided if I'll pay for PSNow.

PlayStation Now offers the first ever streaming game service on consoles powered by our exclusive advanced cloud-based technology. Gamers can now play games the same way they stream TV, movies and music…instantly. Starting with PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4, and expanding to PlayStation®Vita, BRAVIA TV’s and other Sony and non-Sony devices, PlayStation Now will be available on the electronic devices gamers use most.

PlayStation Now gives gamers instant access to some of PlayStation’s most popular full games. With a wide variety of games to stream, there will always be new challenges to conquer, instantly.

Also here's the info from the blog announcement...

Today, at CES 2014 in Las Vegas, we announced that PlayStation Now (PS Now), our new streaming game service, will be available in the US this summer. With PlayStation Now, you will be able to stream popular hits and classic games from the PS3 library, first on PS4 and PS3 systems, followed by PS Vita.
In addition to PlayStation platforms, most 2014 US models of Sony’s BRAVIA TV lineup will support PS Now. Eventually the service will expand beyond PlayStation platforms and Sony devices, allowing you to stream PlayStation games across a broad range of Internet-connected devices.
Leveraging Gaikai’s advanced cloud-based technology, PlayStation Now will allow you to:
Play video games instantly across multiple devices, similar to the way you might stream TV, movies, and music.
Stream full games to all of your compatible PlayStation devices including PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita as well as non-PlayStation devices, beginning with 2014 BRAVIA TV models and expanding to numerous other Internet-connected devices.
Always play the most updated version of your game. With games hosted in the cloud, you can take your game with you – just log in with your Sony Entertainment Network account on a compatible device and your games and saved progress will be easily available.
We want to offer you choice when it comes to how you want to access content on PS Now, so you will be able to rent by title for specific games you are interested in. We’ll also offer a subscription that will enable you to explore a range of titles.
PS Now will begin a Beta program in the US at the end of January with an expected full roll-out in the US this summer. Be sure to check the PlayStation.Blog regularly for more updates on the PS Now service.

Are you happy now?

I'm not sure if it's going to be a netflix subscription model or if it's just going to be a per title basis similar to renting movies on consoles now. It'd have to have a vast library of titles that I'm interested in for me to even consider paying them a subscription

Yeah, I saw a few articles with supposed pictures of prices for a single game "rental". Depending on the rental time, I'd much prefer a subscription pricing though I think.
