A fresh wave of PlayStation Now (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/playstation-4/games/13451/playstation-now/) beta invites has reportedly been distributed by Sony.
Multiple sources told IGN (http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/03/28/fresh-wave-of-playstation-now-beta-invites-arrive) that the beta invites appeared up in their email inboxes on Thursday night.
http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3162/image_316218_460.jpg (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/viewer.php?id=316218&mode=article)Revealed at CES (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/444187/ps-now-revealed-sony-service-streams-ps3-games-across-devices/) in January, PS Now will initially stream PS3 games (other platforms to follow) to PlayStation systems, Sony Bravia TVs and, in future, other Sony and non-Sony devices.
A PS Now beta is currently ongoing in the States, where Sony will launch the service this summer. It has been reported (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/445854/playstation-now-set-for-2015-eu-launch-report-claims/) that PS Now won't arrive in Europe until the first quarter of 2015.
PS Now will enable customers to rent individual games or pay for full library access via a yet to be confirmed subscription fee. In mid-March, game rental options were spotted on the US PS Store (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/453904/game-rental-options-spotted-on-us-playstation-store/), seemingly confirming that the service will let users stream rented titles for one, seven or 30 days, although the functionality isn't yet enabled.
For a "low latency, high-quality gaming experience", Sony recommended (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/444422/ps-now-sony-recommends-5mbps-connection/)that PS Now users have at least a 5Mbps connection.
