Reader Discussion: What Are Your Thoughts On PlayStation Now Pricing?
PlayStation Now has moved into open beta and the prices we wrote about during its previous beta phase haven’t changed dramatically. While the publisher has suggests a subscription might be in the works, right now the only options are different length rental periods (four hours, seven days, thirty days, or ninety days).
The pricing ranges from $3 to $5 for four-hour blocks, $4 to $8 for seven-day rentals, $6 to $15 for thirty days, and $15 to $30 for a full ninety-day rental. There are no purchase or unlimited-use options yet.
We’re curious if you’ve looked at the PlayStation Now storefront since it went into open beta. What is your reaction to the pricing? Have you rented any titles? If so, how many and for how long?
If Sony opts for a subscription, what would you be willing to pay for a month or year of access to the entire library? Let us know what you think in the comments.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
