How much will it cost to rent a streamed PS3 game using upcoming service PlayStation Now? Possibly $4.99 for Uncharted 3, and $5.99 for Far Cry 3.Those prices were spotted on concept art for the PlayStation Now user interface, as seen by VG247 (http://www.vg247.com/2014/03/10/ps-now-gaikai-site-redesign-reveals-potential-game-prices-report/) on maker Gaikai's official website (https://www.gaikai.com/). There's a little blue PlayStation Now triangle next to the two prices.http://images.eurogamer.net/2013/articles//a/1/6/6/1/1/1/6/January2014_PSnowService.jpg.jpg/EG11/resize/570x-1/quality/80/format/jpg
Exactly what you'll get for $4.99/$5.99 - how long you'll rent the game for - Sony has yet to detail. What the pound sterling and Euro conversions will be we'll also have to wait and see, although Euros tend to mirror dollar prices.The $49.99 price for The Last of Us in the image is presumably for a full game download, because there's no PS Now icon and it's, you know, the price of a full game.PlayStation Now is expected to start rolling out in the US by the end of the year, and in Europe early 2015. The service will allow you to stream-play PS3 games on PS4, PS Vita and even Bravia TVs.
