They apparently have like this gigantic array of PS3 hardware that this all runs on, not to mention the rather intense requirements to get on a really good backbone or 10 and all the technical AND business negotiations to make sure that the latency is absolutely, positively as low as possible.

It's loving expensive as h*ck to provide, so I see why it's priced so high, but it really doesn't seem worth it still. The cost of Sony using the Cell processor instead of something actually good continues to be passed down to you, the consumer, 10 years later!

More rumors incoming: devkits have been found to have a Share button and a split D-pad, so it can be used as another input method I imagine.

If you don't have the time to make a miiverse post, the share button can be configured to automatically write one for you that describes the incredible fidelity of the water textures in the game you're playing.

This is false. Any controller works fine, and there's a 7 day free trial. It's loving amazing. If you don't find PSNow on PC to be amazing well then you're probably very very hard to impress. You can play things like Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Tokyo Jungle on PC for the first time ever and people still bitch about it. Code Veronica X. Both Resident Evil Revelations games, and of course 4, 5 and 6 and Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles. Sly Cooper collection, most of the Ratchet and Clank series. Shadow of the loving Colossus. Every God of War game.

yeah this. its very expensive to get the rights to rent the games to people, to stream the games in a playable state, to upkeep all the hardware. if you buy a years for 99 dollars its approaching a decent price per month i guess and there are probably 5 or 6 games on the list i'd play over that time frame idk.

it comes packed into samsung tvs now too. its deffo not for everybody

Last I checked it doesn't have FFXIII: Waifu Returns which everyone swears is Actually Good but I'm not getting burned again by actually buying something that says "Final Fantasy XIII" on it outright without a few hours of facetime with it.

Thankfully the XIII-2 demo was enough to convince me I still would not like it at all, so dodged that bullet~

It's poor wording. What it means is the equivalent of a DualShock 4 controller. I think theres maybe 1 or 2 games that have motion controls that you wouldn't be able to utilize, but other than that a 360 controller works just fine. You will of course have Playstation button prompts

What method did you use? I always fix the bottom two rows first, but my friend swears you have to go by column instead of by row to do it fastest.

We're talking about the company that would make 10 million dollars if they just released untouched ROMs of their Pokemon collection onto the App Store, but they just don't do it because I guess nobody over there thought of it yet? I'm not really sure. It's guaranteed money. Also whoever thought of friend codes should be shot.
