sorry to sony, but "trials of games" should be a LOW end perk..not the top tier perk.

people who pay for the high end don't really care about trying before buying where as the people who cant afford as much would benefit.


Also cloud gaming ps3 is still trash (literally universal thought from community)

For those unaware, when you get your "free" games through Playstation Plus (PS+), you don't keep them if you decide to stop paying for PS+. If you go back after not paying for a while, you'll get access to those "free" games again. You are paying an ever cheaper rental service for games.

Reduced prices on games for having PS+ are permanent until the services ceases operation (which it will eventually- maybe not tomorrow or even 10 years from now, but eventually). If you no longer have PS+, you'll still digitally own them, unlike the "free" games from PS+.

Because, believe it or not, PS Now is only available in 19 countries. That's even less than Game Pass' 26, even though PS Now has been around longer. Seems Sony hasn't bothered setting up server business in as many places - they've never before treated PS Now as a primary business

Seems ya never had to experience Blockbuster Video Laughing

(Yeah, back then, people rented video games at Blockbuster all the time. Nintendo even sued them, but lost)

It's not like you can buy a PS5 here anyway.
