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.

PlayStation now is a really cool concept but it has to be done right. Also I am really excited to get this on a ps4 so I can play some crash bandicoot.

I meant to say the main aim of the service is streaming ps3 games to the ps4. Unless you had a Vita you wouldn't miss anything.

LatiasPosted:

Miss Wow, why are all these cool things coming to Sony right after I sold my PS3! Would have loved to have tried this.


This is for the PS4, your not missing out on anything.

This is cool but I don't think my internet will be able to handle it as well as advertised. I'll wait until ISP's step up their game.
