[Dr. Pezus]

Yes.

IP blocked or something? Ethomaz could not try it even though he has a US account?

Sad and true.

I couldn't try the closed beta from Brazil... I tried to setup a proxy but the free proxies I tried was too slow and didn't pass the performance test.

I was in the closed beta but never had time to try it out.

Price wise I feel this is a good start.

definitely better than the prices after E3... the prices before e3 were perfect for consumers.

$2 for a whole game (in most cases)? That's fair...No, not really. Sony can't just sell games there for that price.

PS Now is instant. I really don't get the complaints. Is $2 that much? If the short time worries you, just rent it for a week for $7 or $8? That's still a LOT less than buying a game (I usually don't play games for more than a week).

The only thing about the 4 hour limit is the timer starts once you initiate the game and doesn't stop even when you are not playing.  So if you start but realize you can't play for the four hours your screwed as the timer still counts down even when you are not playing.  They need to just up the amount of time for it.  Probably not 24 hours, but at least 12 hours for 1.99 or 2.99.  Other than that I think the pricing is pretty much fair since it is a rental service and people should know this is how it's gonna be.

$2 for 24 hours would be more ideal I think... I'll have to check the rest of the pricing but most games if cost efficient I'd rent for 7-10 days

Yeah most games are around 5.99 for 7 days and 7.99 for 30 days which is really good pricing, imo.  Especially paying 2 more dollars to play for 30 instead of 7.  And most games are 14.99 for 90 days.

[7H3]

those pricings seem a lot better $6 for a week isn't a bad deal at all

[nnodley]

I'm thinking about doing a week for MGS 4 as I've never played it.  Not sure yet.

It was the best game ever until Ground Zeroes... I loved both.

[7H3]

I'll have to look and see if there are any new games from the last time I checked... is tlou on there?

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?)

Great game, you should play it. Make sure you can get at least 30 hours of play time in that week ;o

[Legend]

I played the beginning of mgs4. Maybe I should finish it.
