PSNow Beta Prices are Insane
[quote]Sony has added prices to the beta for their PlayStation Now streaming service, and though these are experimental numbers—it's a beta, after all—the current prices are insane.
What's more, as of right now, PS Now beta testers actually have to pay to play games. If I want to test out the service, I have to dish out crazy amounts of cash....
.....There's a little note on the bottom of PlayStation Now that reads: "Game titles and features shown are for testing purposes only. Not indicative of the final price." But anyone who's in the beta right now has to pay these prices. I just tried to rent Deus Ex: Human Revolution and had to pay $4.99 for four hours of the privilege.
And it looks like prices like this could be here to stay. From the PS Now FAQ: "The upcoming Open Beta will test multiple pricing tiers and rental durations. You will see shorter rental periods prices as low as $2.99 and most titles are between that and $19.99. More information to be announced later...."[/quote]
Granted, these prices are [probably] scheduled to change. Seems pretty high. What are your thoughts on PSNow and experience with the service? (assuming you're in the beta)

2 Replies$4.99 for four hours. What can you do in a game in four hours. Maybe the first 2 chapters or so. Who the hell would ever rent a game for 4 hours. Hell, you can buy a game at Gamestop and you have seven days to decide if you like it & you can bring it back if for a full refund.
