    Interesting concept allowing you to play Playstation titles on PC. Something similar to onlive i suppose but with a good enough internet connection might be alright..

    Anybody give it a go yet? I see its region locked though I guess there are ways around that.

    It's not in Ireland, not likely anytime soon either.

    Not on consoles either for Ireland.

    Cause we're small and not worth the initial infrastructure investment when the service is still having it's kinks and issues ironed out.

    Wasn't Hola selling people's details to others? I wouldn't be too inclined to stick with it... Confirmed: https://torrentfreak.com/hola-vpn-sells-users-bandwidth-150528/

    No discussion on bypassing regional restrictions folks. It's against the charter.

    PS4 games coming.

    https://www.pcgamesn.com/ps4-games-on-pc
    There are already 483 games on PS Now, but they’re all from the PS3. Still, that gives you access to games we can’t play on PC without the streaming service, such as Red Dead Redemption and The Last of Us.

    With the announcement that PS4 games are coming to the service, we could end up being able to play things like The Last of Us: Part Two, Persona 5, Nioh, The Last Guardian, and a bunch of other exciting PlayStation exclusives, all without the need to own a console.

    I see Playstation 4 games will be available at the end of the year

    Is it still the case it's not available in Ireland?

    Can't see it being cheap to rent anything new.

    Are Sony not essentially killing off potential console sales by making exclusives available on PC?

    I think their kind of preempting the fact that in another generation or two they will all just be subscription services available on multiple devices. At least in IMO that's how I see it going

    MS in particular seem to be actively moving in that direction with things like "Play Anywhere" titles and the xbox game pass that's coming soon.

    makes sense really when you think about it, how many people own one console that plays all the 3rd party games and dont/wont want to buy another console to just play a few exclusives. Whereas if its all subscription like Netflix everyone can play everything on anything, more people playing and paying for the same game that only 1/10 could play before. Its going the phone/netflix route which is great :)
