PlayStation Now Announcement

Today,  Sony President and Group CEO Andrew House announced a new service that Sony Entertainment will provide to their PlayStation Users. We are talking about PlayStation Now. What is PlayStation Now?

PS Now is a cloud-based service much like Netflix or Spotify, but for gaming. It will host a wide collection of PlayStation 3 archive titles initially, with the potential to include PSOne, PS2, PSP and PS Vita games too. You will be able to access them at your leisure, playing them instantly on any device that has access to the service and a half-decent internet connection.

It will use the technology acquired when Sony bought cloud gaming company Gakai, which allows you to play games that are not hosted on your own local consoles or other devices, but on massive servers elsewhere.

Personally, I both like and dislike this new service. I absolutelly loved the fact that you will be able to play PlayStation Games in Non-PlayStation Devices. This is way better than PSN (PlayStation Network). Although, I dislike this service because some people are saying that memberships for PS Now will cost a lot of money. Eventhough, it's a good invesment for people who have Sony Devices in their households or workplaces.
