Curious to see if they offer a Gamefly type program where you pay a flat fee and play as many and as much as you want.

I am guessing it would be pretty pricey though considering the prices for one game.

Why would you think it would be pricey?

GameFly offers it at a reasonable rate and they have to pay for discs.
Playstation has them all digitally available. I would think they could offer it pretty damn close to Gamefly prices.

Because based on the link in that article one game was priced at possibly $5.99. Not sure the amount of time attached to the rental but it seems youd have to pay around $25-$30 a month for it in that pricing structure.

I didn't even pay attention that there was a link to prices.
I just looked now.
I read through the article real fast in between meetings.

Good info.

It looks like pricing has come out. The 4-hour pricing is dumb as fuck. The week eh. I could see the 30/90 day pricing having some appeal.

2.99-4.99 -- 4 Hours
5.99-7.99 -- 7 days
7.99-14.99 -- 30 days
14.99-24.99 -- 90 days

Never read the article, blocked here at work, but is this something you can do right over the PS4? Also, is it all games basically?

That 30-90 day would be great for the CODs and Battlefields I play for a month or so.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's still in beta. I haven't read anywhere that talks about if it will be for all games as well as complete games offline/online.

Found a little bit here, looks like 100 titles to start.

I agree the 30 day for $14.99 would be very nice.
I would have to play a game for 4 months before it would equal the $60 it normally cost.
May be worth it for many, especially the adventure type games like a Tomb Raider or Uncharted where once I get through them, I am done with them.

Anyone else get a beta code for this?

Messed around with this a little yesterday. Interface is very simple and was quick as well. Game loaded up very fast and played without a hitch even though I was on wifi and it recommended ethernet.

The free game collection was terrible and the paid not that much better.
