Oh, please don't quote me on that; it was a wild ass guess.If it's double that then forget it.

Digging a littler deeper, it seems that Sony recommend a 5Mbps connection, which is exactly the same that Neflix recommend for a 1080p stream, which consumes ~3GB/hr, per Netflix. So it sounds like Sony may be using higher frame rates and also higher compression to make up for it. But, I think PS Now is adaptive, so if you have a 10Mbps connection, it may then use less compression and try to fill that up.
I'ma tweet Shu and see if we can get a clearer answer.
Well, he didn't respond, because I'm no one of consequence.Above and beyond sir, thank you.
How much bandwidth would playing a typical PS3 game eat up, say Infamous?
I like the concept of this but I only have 95 gb a month and I already use Netflix a lot.
Checking in to it, but it varies wildly based on the quality of the connection you establish
Oh, it rolls over in to the quarterly billing? That's nice.Overall, I came away incredibly impressed, and I think I'll keep my 3 month subscription that will trigger after the trial ends. There are quite a few games on the current list that I've never played, and would like to.
Question: Does playing Earth Defense Force 2025 with someone over PSN using PS NOW work if they're playing the PS3 version?
I would subscribe if the let me download all the games on my ps3. Why would I stream ps3 games on a ps3?
So basically MMO sub price point if you're doing 3mo... that's actually pretty decent.
I mean I used to balk at MMO subs but for the amount of time I got out of them (mind you this was before they all became tedious themepark grinders), I found it worth it. For a growing back catalogue I can def see it being worth it.
Just thought I'd chime in with my experiences with PS Now last night. I signed up for the 7 day trial, and I played a little of Dead Island: Riptide (never played), and Uncharted 1(I got the platinum trophy for this one, as well as played it a few dozen times,so I'm VERY familiar with how this one should look/feel).
My internet connection is about 40-60mbps wired, and my PS4 is connected to the Internet wired.
Visuals: both games looked incredibly sharp, like they were actually running natively on my television. I'm using my 40" 720p Samsung set, which is in our bedroom. The 40" 1080p set is in the living room, but currently only the PS3's are connected. I plan on getting my wife a PS4 of her own so she can play Dragon Age on her own box, and that one will be in the living room. Point is, on a 720p set, at least, the games looked great. I didn't detect any artifacts or pixel oration during my hour playtime.
Controls/Input lag: I did notice a little bit of input lag while playing Uncharted 1, but in truth, it was incredibly minimal, practically non-existent. Moving around and making jumps and head shots felt good and responsive. I did have to lower the sensitivity for aiming in both games, but that's more of a preference for me. I don't like super fast reticles, but I did play at both default settings, and my adjusted settings to get a feel for the lag.
Overall, I came away incredibly impressed, and I think I'll keep my 3 month subscription that will trigger after the trial ends. There are quite a few games on the current list that I've never played, and would like to.
New PS Now games for March:
Twisted Metal (PS3)
Alone in the Dark (PS3)
Infamous 2 (PS3)
Operation Flashpoint Red River (PS3)
R-Type Dimensions (PS3)
Not a bad list of additions, I never did make it through the Twisted Metal campaign so I think this will give me an excuse to go back and finish it.
At least it's not singstar.
Are they forcing this shit on us now? Got the PS Now icon on my dashboard but cannot delete it.. wtf.
Is that on the PS4?
Yeah thats on ps4 for me.. No matter what I cant get rid of that bloody icon ;/. Another icon in my row of what I want to be only games....
I wonder if it's there for easy access when Sony add PS3 games to PS+? E3!
