Wait you mean you are doing this now on the pc?

Working fine from PC and no lag... Erm I am a bit surprised by that. now, £12.99 a month, not sure I'd pay it myself, but some might be willing to pay it for over 300 games a month?

And you can play games full screen not just windowed mode.

very cool, one question is it just the last of us for ps3 and not the last of us remastered available ?

thinking of that i might aswell just plug my ps4 in but there are some other exclusives on the ps3 i would not mind checking out.

so you have to stream the games? so people with rubbish internet are **** out of luck?

Its the PS3 version of the last of us, I was just more intrigued to see if this did actually work, only reason I tried it.

Yes agreed. It does appear to be Streaming. I have a 40mbps line, it recommends 5mbps but not everyone has this, and it did say best performance needs to be even higher then 5mbps.

Hope they add Red Dead Redemption, might want to revisit that someday. Cool service, hopefully it works well. I have 100mbit and Onlive worked pretty well like half a decade ago already.

Well i have hit a part in Beyond: Two Souls now that i cannot get past without a PlayStation Controller.

Sonys final attempt to keep a dying service alive.

Just trying this most games seem to not like my 360 pad so ordered a dual shock pad.

If there is a delay like the old Onlive system then I think I will pass. I tried Aliens vs Predator on that and the movement delay was horrendous.

H3RBSKI · 29 Aug 2016 at 14:35

when i load mine up it opens to the main screen where you can login or sign up but after 20 seconds or so it closes its self to the task bar... cant stop it. any ideas?

There is slight input lag but no where near as bad as OnLive was.

Now if only they could get this to work from my Steam Link...

Etheco · 29 Aug 2016 at 16:28

I have given this a go input lag doesn't seem a huge issue and games look decent considering its being streamed.

I am currently playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and its running smooth although at times I do believe input lag is a huge issue to me executing some counter attacks but I can't be 100% if its just me being a tool

Reboot your PC - happened to me, no idea but I just rebooted and it resolved it.

If you use this service with a PS4, any other accounts that log in such as my daughters account, she can play the games using my subscription (7 day trial) yet on PC its just me and only me that can play the games.

So, PS4 and its primary console settings works in favor of game and subscription sharing..

Oh well, no biggie. Just something I noticed.

As for the service, superb service, but noted in the console section, its very expensive if you add it up over a number of months..

Is access to 300+ older PS3 games, some you can grab on Stream cheap anyhow worth it?

I can see the Playstation trophy hunter maybe liking this..

H3RBSKI · 29 Aug 2016 at 19:10

ive rebooted and re installed. been happening for 3 days now

Curunen · 29 Aug 2016 at 19:45

Finally I'll be able to play Last of Us.

This is great.

Twirlywoos · 31 Aug 2016 at 23:14

Are you guys just playing using the 7 day free trial? Does it ask for credit card information ?
