Playstation Now price points

[Titan]

I saw this on Gamespot today. Sony has released the price point on some of the games being offered on PS Now. What I don't get is you pay for a period of hours. For example, MGS4 is 5 bucks for 4 hours. However, it took me I think 35 or 40 hours to beat. So by the time you beat it, it costs 50 bucks. At that point, you might as well buy it new from a game store for 20 bucks or even cheaper used. It makes no sense to me and makes me wonder how they are even going to get people to use this service with price points like this. I put the chart below and the article. Sorry about the chart. Doesn't copy and paste well

With PlayStation Now, Sony has created an instant, on demand service for video games. It provides access to some of the PlayStation 3 catalog to PlayStation 4 and Sony TV owners, effectively giving the PS4 backwards compatibility. It's a service with hundreds of titles that you can jump into and play without having to wait for them to download.

Today, the service transitioned into open beta and we got a look at the collection of games offered. There's no subscription option for PS Now; each game is priced individually for several different rental periods. But we noticed that, for some games, it would be cheaper to buy the game used than to rent it through PS Now. To put the rental prices into context, we chose several notable games, found the lowest price to buy each game, and determined how much PS Now rental time that same amount of money will get you.

Of course, Sony has stated that the service is still in beta and that these prices will change before its full release. In a recent interview with GameSpot, the company revealed that it would implement a $1.99 price point during the beta for an unspecified rental period. Also notable is that, even though Sony showed off The Last of Us running through PS Now, it was not available to rent at the time of this writing.

I was looking through them on psn and its very underwhelming. The 4 hour rental is completely useless, and you need 2or 3 week rentals that add up and you might as well just buy the game, like you're saying

I'll be more interested when ps1 and ps2 games are available. And they better be priced better

I'm curious to see the price point of this monthly subscription they keep talking about. That would make it worth it. Not 5 bucks for 4 hours of gameplay. A lot of games today that barely covers the opening cut scenes lol.
