DrBloodmoney Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It's the 'Toaster-Telephone' conundrum. Many people want a toaster. Many people want a telephone. A huge number want both. That doesn't mean anyone is looking for a combination Toaster-Telephone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerErnst Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 There is one thing I'd prefer - instead of those 2 merging together, give me the option to pay for ps now, have the games of that and be able to play other games online like in ps plus. I hate ps plus and would much rather pay for ps now. Not gonna do both though and I need the online functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellcoreFire Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 At first when I got a PSNow subscription I thought that would be a good idea. But when I thought a bit more about it I came to the same conclusions most people that are against it already mentioned in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) The benefit of merging them is that they won’t give the same games on each. I would even accept a slightly higher price if they did this, as long as they provided 7 games per month minimum then I don’t think £110 would be unreasonable.

Carol Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 No, I don’t think they should do this. The two subscriptions combined would be very expensive. I would be miserable without multiplayer and that’s why I pay for Plus. I barely have time to play the games they offer each month, so why would I need PS Now?

Jeffboy265 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I see this happening sooner or later. Probably with an 100$ per year subscription plan. I also see them changing the name of PS Now, since there are still a lot of people that think, that PS Now is just for streaming Games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarPhantom Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Have the option to buy them separately and an option to get both for cheaper. Well, ideally PS Plus would include PS Now, but that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitrousPurge Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I would be all for a PS Plus and PS Now combo for the right price like Xbox are doing I saved allot on games by getting that plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillLaGil Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 No, i wish there Lite version of ps+ for cloud save only rarely using it for online and monthly rented backlogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowwindow7 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 NO! it's enough that i'm hating the plus subscription that it's required for online play, I don't play online that much but there's this one game i'm kinda addicted to one of its modes that you can only play online and if I stop paying for the plus this mode will be cut off from me. I never got interested on the Now subscription since the day it was announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediKnight_327 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 As someone who is paying for PS+ and PS Now, I'd rather pay 11.99 a month and be free to cancel if the games are shit next month or for whatever reason I wouldnt use enough of the service. Sony's monthly prices are extortionate so you have to buy your subscriptions annually to get similar value to game pass ultimate, and when you do that you have to accept you paid for months which you might not have otherwise. 2 hours ago, DrBloodmoney said: It's the 'Toaster-Telephone' conundrum.

By that logic they should split online gaming and the monthly games from PS+. Not everyone plays online and not everyone wants the monthly games.

So even without Gold you get cloud storage on Xbox? I think it‘s kinda a joke that i need a PS Plus membership on every PSN account i have, just to save my game saves. It should be like 5-10 GB free Cloud Space on every account for Game Saves (they make enough money from the PSN Store to do this) & up to 1 TB or unlimited Cloud storage (Game save only) for PS Plus members.

Download the games you want to play onto your PS4, and play them on your main PSN account (India). It works just like PS Plus or EA Play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanime_Gamer Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Compared to Games Pass PS now is a total embarrassment. I am not even sure that I would use the service if it was free as it is. I had a one month trial some time ago and the games list was poor, the streaming (even on my fibre connection) was poor and only including TLOU from the PS3 and not even the PS4 remastered version is just a face palm. I don't like MS per se but they have knocked it out of the park with Games Pass and Sony are seriously lagging in that department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
