    Prices are really high for this services. Traditional games still best for me. I always can sell the game when I finish it, what I can do with rented game? Nothing, wasted money. PSN now is nice - but not for me, maybe I rent some games when prices get lower (and of course I get PS4 :P)

    The prices of some of them are fine but it's all over the place, and considering you're getting the equivalent of renting the game and the system to play it on most of the current prices aren't bad.

    Awesome news, though I believe it is not all samsungs, just smart samsungs in north america.

    just announced now that it will be $19.99 for a month or $44.95 for 3 months ($15 a month) for a subscription for access to 100 games. It seems to be well received. If we get a currency conversion price over here (about €12 a month for 3 month sub) then I think I'd be happy to pay that if it ever got over here, but I don't see that happening. No word yet on PS+ discounts or longer subs.

    If it works as well as I hope, then this would be great to sign up for a month every now and again.

    With the talk about Cork recently and future expansion planned, I can see Sony looking to Ireland to serve western Europe.

    With this would players be able to play online multiplayer on the games they stream?

    Cork to get fastest transatlantic fiber link

    Project Express is a 4,600km Trans-Atlantic submarine cable system linking Nova Scotia in Canada and Brean in the United Kingdom, and now it's via Cork.

    In theory this should be fine, the games will be running locally to each other so you should get good connection too if your single player campaign suffers no lag

    More info here - I just read it, and hadn't noticed it was posted here earlier.

    Some reading anyway, for anyone that is curious.
