PlayStation Now open beta hits PS TV, Vita on October 14

4.6

Tucked inside a lengthy pre-launch fact sheet for the PlayStation TV is word that the PlayStation Now open beta test will reach both the Vita handheld and the PS TV on October 14. Like the PlayStation 4, the PS TV and Vita beta tests will offer users access to "more than 150" PlayStation 3 games that can be streamed on-demand from Sony by anyone willing to pay for limited time access.

October 14 also marks the initial debut of the PlayStation TV, meaning that those willing to purchase the gadget will not only have access to the PlayStation Now catalogue, but will also be able to play "nearly 700" compatible games, ranging from PlayStation One classics to portable PSP hits. Additionally, Sony claims the PlayStation TV will have access to "videos and movies" from the PlayStation Network Store and will launch with support for "other entertainment services," though it's not known which media options this might include.

I wish gaming consoles would focus more on improving the gaming experience and not so focused on streaming TV.

Guys do you think that sony will make this a service like netflix that you can open up on your laptop but instead of movies it will be games. If they are that would be really cool.

This looks like an improved layout in my perspective.

Miss How much is the PS TV? That sounds really awesome along with PS Now.

The both of them fit in nicely hand in hand. I like what Sony are doing here. Going to make themselves some big bucks.

The layout looks pretty nice but PS TV seems to be taking it to far.
