(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Playstation Now was unveiled to the world yesterday as the Gaikai powered streamingservice that will bring PSOne, PS2, and PS3 games to the PS4.


In an interview with CVG, John Koller explained that users who already own copies of their games in a physical form on PS3 or older platforms will not be able to get a digital copy of their game for free. At least not yet they won’t.


When asked if owners will simply have to put a PS3 disc into the PS4, Koller said, “We… uh, initially, no. So, we’re saying no to that right now.” CVG went a step further and asked if this was even a feature Sony was looking into. Koller responded with a resounding “no”.


It’ll be interesting to see if Sony offers some sort of discount for games you already own or if there’s just a one time subscription fee to access the games in the library like OnLive did with it’s Playpack.

I never normally hold onto my games but this has made even more sense to trade the old gen stuff in for new gen things.

Thoughts?

Sony wants money, it makes no since why you have to repay for a game you already bought. It shouldn't matter if it's from a Older Gen or not. But hey, it's all about money these days..

I want to play MW2 on my PS4 but if they let me connect to the garbage server of the PS3 version, no point in buying this really :p

this sucks, guess its time to trade in my last of us joel edition, im guessing you can earn trophies via this service ?

haven't you guys lost the thought of when PLAYSTATION announced that their trying to get rid of psychical copies and everything be digital? This site is gonna suck if I have to spend more money since PS+ is $50 a year.... Which makes me wonder wtf is the point of PS+ if this gives you games if it is a one time fee, this is the type of shit I can't stand.. and like iSearch said "it's all about money these days."

Although I was hoping this wouldn't happen, I can't say I didn't see it coming.

this sucks badly

Money makes the world go round.

I hope its a 1-off subscription!

People, get over it :/

They are a business not a charity, of course they want money, they need it in fact. How the fuck are they supposed to see what game you have? Hmm? The only version they could do is PS3 games due to the PARAM.SFO on the disc. But for all the others it is impossible. If you actually gamed before the last gen, you'd know that putting in a disc into your console and seeing what game it was is a new function. PS1 and PS2 just said "PS2 Formatted Disc" or to something of that accord. They simply can't do ANYTHING for those. As for PSP, how would you put the disc in the console.

PS3 is the only one they may be able to do something about but I doubt they will as there are a lot of regions with special editions available to catalog.
