Sony Cuts PS Now Subscription Price For PS4 Worldwide (gamespot.com) 9
In anticipation for Google's upcoming Stadia cloud gaming service and Microsoft's Project xCloud, which enters open beta this month, Sony is lowering the price of PlayStation Now for PS4 and PC. "Monthly subscriptions are now available for $10, which is a considerable reduction from the previous $20 price point," reports GameSpot. "Quarterly subscriptions, meanwhile, will now cost $25, having previously been $45 in the U.S. and unavailable elsewhere. Finally, a year's PS Now membership is now $60, down from $100." From the report: The new price points are active right now; existing customers will see the new cost reflected in their upcoming bill. The price cut applies worldwide on the platform's catch-all subscription -- not on individual game rentals. Sony also revealed a number of new titles being added to the PS Now library. God of War (2018), Infamous: Second Son, Grand Theft Auto V, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End are all now available as part of the service's subscription offering--but they will be removed on January 2, 2020, Sony said.

It was definately an option when i cancelled mine. Still a rip off. If it comes all the way down to $10 a year I may come back. But right now the ps4 is sat in a drawer gaining dust and I wont be replacing it with a ps5.

You don't own the games. There's latency because of the speed of light. You'll use up your datacap quicker. The image quality won't be good due to video compression. Only way I'd use these services if I hate myself and it's totally free.

Stadia and xCloud, sure. But isn't PS Now a download-only subscription?

No, PS Now was Sony's cloud gaming service. "Was" because they only recently started allowing you to download some games now. But it was Sony's response to the lack of backwards compatibility on the PS4 - if you wanted to play PS3 games you would sign up for PS Now. By age it's one of the oldest cloud gaming services around since it started just shortly after the PS4 was released.
Not to be confused with PS Plus which is their online gam
