How much would you pay for a Netflix of games? 20 - 30 for access to all Aaa titles a month?

Yeah but that would allow a LOT of people to complete most games...for 2 or 3 dollars. Not going to happen. Maybe they could have it so it only counts down if you're playing instead (are you sure it counts down when you're not playing?)
Yeah I think that's where a lot of feedback will be necessary to get things as close to perfect as they can be.  And yeah I believe it counts down even when you are not playing.  I have never done a 4 hour one. I would assume it just counts down like how the days countdown when you get a 7, 30, or 90 day one.  They probably think people won't buy a 4 hour one if they don't have 4 hours in a row to play it.

And nice I think I'll rent MGS4 then.

$30 a month seems reasonable. Three times the cost of Netflix, since games cost three times as much as movies.

Well I just tired Samurai shodown. It seems okay on my connection, I couldn't tell if it was input lag or i don't remember how to play the game. But it seems to log you into a virtual ps3, which is kind of cool. maybe not the best game to decide how well the graphics hold up, just wanted to try something i could jump into because of my internet cap.

30 dollars seems reasonable at first.... But when you think about it then it's 360 dollars a year. I bought Mlb the Show, Infamous, Rayman, and TLoU this year so far. That will probably be all. Even at full price (I get 15% off), that's only 210 dollars a year. If i bought one more game at full price then 20 bucks a month would make it worth it for the consumer with similar gaming habits as me but I'd think I game more than the average person. Don't know if it would be for Sony though.

BTW - the hilarious trolling going on the Web about this service is ridiculous. If i weren't already be banned from Vgc it wouldn't be much longer before I called the lot of them out for being so stupid.

For me personally, 15 dollars a month for new releases. Any more and it wouldnt be worth it for me. Someone with same gaming habits as me? 20 dollars a month. Average Legend(why does Legend turn into legend when I post?)? 15 dollars a month.

Well when you consider in the future you may not need a console for the service, and you would be able to play all the games your on the fence about... I dunno I'd say 250 to 300 a year sounds like a good deal as long as they throw in some extras.

I think it should each game should be free for 30 mins and 2 dollars a day. No other options. Except a subscription plan and I'd be okay paying 30 dollars a month, but I doubt I would subscribe for a year at a time

For PS4 I own Killzone, Knack, AC4, Infamous, NFS, COD, and Injustice. That's $420 for a bit less than a year, and excludes PS3. I'm also not getting every game I'd like.

$360 a year for unlimited playstation games old and new, just like Netflix, seems like a pretty good deal to me. I'd personally just need an additional incentive since I prefer physical games to digital.

I have killzone, infamous, COD, dynasty warriors, watch dogs, lego marvel, ffxiv, had injustice...
