If Sony markets this as a competitor to Game Pass rather than a good value service that will be a mistake.

As expected this really isn’t a Gamepass competitor. The highest tier offers lengthy Game Demos, I really wish they would commit more to this.

Oh boy, the charade is only beginning, the midia is going to have a field day with this.

So just Plus and Now together? Meh. Bloomberg is a reliable source. There’s probably no other surprise/extra.

Commit? They hardly do unless it works well day zero. If not, it will die in a slow process. Vita, TV, Move, Vue, Movies/Music, PSOne Classic, soon NOW (most likely lived longer due to Game Pass success), and so on.

Throw away your Xbox, you don’t need it anymore! PlayStation has everything that Game Pass has! Don’t look at the details! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

Until Sony releases its first party games day and date into the service it will never be a competitor

We’ll see. They might succeed in marketing as Game Pass competitor in Europe because Europe is not that aware of Game Pass. But in. any case. a lot of people online will run with it as an answer to Game Pass anyway.

Just use the traditional Sony’s shenanigans with "get access to the new games* " and people will believe that it is the same as Game Pass.

“Gamepass has now fierce competition in the form of “…” from Sony!”

“Is this the end of the Gamepass reign?”

a lot of people still dont even know gamepass exists because xbox doesn’t market enough. sony can market this like they are first to the party and lots of people will believe them

Who do you hack for that headline?

As crazy as it sounds even if half baked this could damage gamepass because some will shrug it off and think its of similar quality. However, marketing for both services will be key

Looking forward to all the angry customers when God of War Ragnarok doesn’t appear day one on this service, because “IGN told me it was Game Pass but for Sony!”

Summarized edition.

Elden Ring hype must go on!

No one is out of the table.

Next Friday sounds like the perfect time…

I played a few hours of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on Series X today for my (very late) review. Can find the vod here:

Processing now, should be available within an hour

Of course it’s low. They can’t commit something that needs help.

Sorry. Lost my temper…

Putting a demo behind a subscription is ludicrous. Pay has no limits.
