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.

Dorkus Sony is really going big this year with all of their products, i would like to see microsoft do something better to be in the same or higher position than sony one day.

Just because you like Sony it doesn't mean they are in a higher position. Unless you got facts to prove they are, they aren't. Honestly, Microsoft is probably above Sony. Microsoft has a lot more going on out of Gaming, a lot more than Sony.
