Supposedly, more games will be available than what was offered in the closed beta. Also, it will be integrated into the store and not app based.

It almost kinda makes sense if you read it as a question.

There were some pretty terrible games offered on there. It's not gonna last if they don't up the value of their selection

I thought Now would let you buy games. Is it seriously a thing where you just rent them? That's stupid.

You can already buy games through the PS Store.

How is a game rental system stupid?

Love that people already know it sucks without knowing if it will work, prices, or catalog of games. It could fail and it could also be really good.

I read comments all the time about people saying "it's a rental for me."

I don't know the details. But I wouldn't want to just rent the game. I'd rather buy it and be able to play it whenever than having to pay for it again after a predetermined amount of time. I'll rent games I want to play if they have them, no matter what the price is. I just don't want to have to keep renting them if I want to play them again.

You never consider games rentals? Do you ever rent movies? Have you ever rented anything?

That is your complaint?

You think this is stupid because you don't want to have to rent a game more than once if you want to play it twice?

I'm guessing that people are judging based on how the "alpha" or whatever worked. They had blanket pricing for games where it would cost more to rent a game for 30 days than it was to buy it.

Yea, you have to assume that they would address those problems. It was an Alpha after all.
