They are pretty bad with Digital.

Man for $15-20 I could buy a month subscription with Gamefly and rent out any game I want :1

Non of the companies are perfect.
On that same year they Microsoft reversed those policies and I'm having a ball with the Xbox one and the Wii U .

Still, that does seem ridicules. can't they just let you buy the games and keep them instead?

Sounds like this system is a waste of time and money if you can just buy the game for slightly more and have it forever and not worry about server crashes or downtimes or things like that.

Sony lost my money when they took off the Playstation channel for most games.

We'll stick to PC games from now on.

Yeah Sony seems to have this wave thing going on... they do one thing super right, and another terrible wrong. PS Now? Is definitely the wrong.

Agreed!

Simply put, there's no way those prices will stand. When no one pays for that, it'll change.

Remember, back in the day you'd get a game for 72 hours for $5 from Blockbuster. Whatever they do had better be better than that.

All game rentals should be the same price.

I like the idea but what the fuck.

*cries* why...?

*Hugs* Why what?

Why must they be so... Microsoft... *cries even harder*

I wish I could say when hearing this rant, this is the first time I've heard it, but I haven't. You are right...this is nickel and dime price gouging...

Oh 'AAA' game indistry, I don't even want to ask how much lower you want to sink...cause I know you'll just keep going as deep as you can...

I'm not sure what to be more angry at...I'm not against things as a concept but how they're actually put into practice.

In theory things like DLC itself, even Disk Locked Content (CrapCon aka Capcom...but lets not forget EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and so forth)...I could be okay with...if they wern't promply exploited because...there will be people who buy such things regardless. ...

How Sony is doing this is ...nickel and diming and it's shameful. It's...stupid, shortsighted...and it...it has to assume customers are fucking idoits and to a sickening and sad degree with how some games had sold anyway in spite of certain problems...like lack of Deticated servers in MW2...(yet some people bought the game anyway)... At least right in so much as assuming people will just buy things regardless.

...part of me wants to hope there will be such a backlash against this that sony will change their policies, but I suppose we'll see.

I'm doubtful as I'd rather see results before saying much, and given some past events I've felt too cynical to feel like ther'es much hope.

But then again...with how the Xbone has been and the major backlash from that (not that I was ever in a hurry for one to begin with...or even the 360...at this stage I think I'll just settle for a PS3 and if that's a problem for Sony...that's their problem...)...maybe...maybe.

I'd go on and on...but I'd rather do so another time and place. Perhaps when I'm not too angry...

Cause ...again...it's BS.

Agreed fully

Well they made some pretty stupid decisions this time, they are going to lose money and fans.

Maybe on the money, yes on the fans.

They'll fix it eventually, though I think comparing it to the Microsoft fiasco is like apples and watermelons.

It's not mandatory for owning a ps console, and thus it means it has a much higher chance of failure, without risk for sony, the price will kill it, or fix it, i'm going to guess fix it, but the entire idea of renting a game has always seemed foreign to me, so what do I know.
