Report: PlayStation Now closed beta invites rolling out

4.6

It would appear Sony is sending out invites for its PlayStation Now closed beta. One such invite was received by NeoGAF user tokyostomp, and IGN also claims to have received another, separate invite. Both invites recommend hard-wiring your PS3 and a 5mbps-or-greater internet connection.

PlayStation Now is Sony's premium games streaming service designed to serve up older PlayStation games on PS3, PS4, PS Vita and other internet-enabled devices. The service will allow users to rent individual games or pay a subscription fee.

PS3 is the first system to receive the beta, though Sony hasn't said how long it'll take for the beta to surface on PS4 and PS Vita. An official launch for PlayStation Now is planned for this summer.

Yop Xbox 360 will still be the best console :D

Maybe if they came up with a service like this to play the older games and have that backwards compatibility is really nice even if we have to pay for it. It allows people to have access to so many more games then normally.

VPN I guess these invites are a bit rare to receive.

I would think so. Letting everyone beta test PlayStation Now would undoubtedly result in some leaks etc.

Int I would of liked to be a tester, but oh well my chance has gone.

Nothing so great about this. Not really interested. Same ****.

I wouldn't call this the same thing, only origin has really tried this before. It didn't work out very well.

Third_Eye What exactly do they mean by "hard-wiring" a PS3?

Using an Ethernet or USB to supply your console's network connection, as opposed to connecting via Wi-Fi.
