I want to talk a little bit about consoles game consoles these are video games they get played on TVs okay hmm this week what are those what you'll learn Ben Fox Rubin this week Sony announced that PlayStation al which is a well in ok service they offer on playstation 4 and Vita and a few other platforms I think they just announced at that service which streams games to a device and lets you play over the internet offloads all the processing I guess I'm like a mothership somewhere where they have like render farms under you've already lost me you understand what I'm saying it's fine i knows our spaceships and aliens of all very awesome right you upload the virus to the man yeah so you pay four dollars a month it's sort of like netflix you pay your pay 20 hours a month and you're able to stream what feels like a four hundred or so ton number of titles on playstation 3 so that's how they sort of solve the playstation 3 backwards compatibility void that was there they said okay we're gonna not let you put the discs in the thing in the console we're gonna let you stream all those ps3 games how that's how they do it how good is the streaming it's a great question yeah because you'll get a stream you can stream like a movie lickety so one way street right right yeah it's a one-way street this is a two-way street there's data going up yeah most of that is coming down but there is some data coming up and now those are the inputs that you do on your controller it's not the best but it's not the worst it started out real bad it started out not good at all I was my first initial impressions of PlayStation al which was poop there's a poop out of 5 now it's a little better and now is it like poop +1 yeah it's like yeah like three and a half poops out of flavor five it's not bad we're still in boob terrace it's nestled on a poop scale alright guys liking the movie all right let's go yeah a lot of a lot of crap out there so it works a little better than how it started but I think for twenty dollars a month it's still may be too much to end yeah terms of the whole backwards compatibility I mean xbox the games are free i mean if you have the games they work and it's free i watch your feet right I feel a little I feel a little chipped if it was like this was the only way I'd be able to play my back catalogue of ps3 get you because you will you're one hundred percent right that's you know there's a lot of games on ps3 that I personally didn't get around to playing and you know there's games that I own like there you know I've one of the games heavy rain took me a while to play that I what happened you know now I can't just pop this in I guess I could hook up my console again but who wants to do that who wants to do that nonsense everyone's thrown there's out anyway so this is an ok solution $20 months a lot of money but I think they're almost there they're almost at the spot where streaming games is a thing you do need a really good internet connection yeah just don't wanna like think Rinkitink why I have the low end k board yes I'll connect you can have that entry-level fios five and five upper room you gotta get that 50 50 I think it's I think the minimum is 25 in my at home I have 75 and that does it as good as it's gonna get right oh but that's a pretty high end it is hot on the higher end yeah sure yeah that's too much I mean 50 50 and that's cheese yeah that's that's pretty pricey 5050 you're gonna do okay but you're gonna spend some money so I don't know do what do you do you think cloud gaming has a future I mean yeah I mean like I'm a fan of steam in terms of using their service but i don't but a lotta that's not really clown stuff right yeah i guess there is stored the games are your saves or stored in the cloud but you have to physically download the game yes that's true yeah in terms of like actually like netflix type service yeah that seems to be kind of a pain because you know if you live the family of more than two yeah and they're all using the internet that's it starts to go to show you know definitely that pipe that whole idea of having 50-50 connection yeah that only works if you're the only one using that correction if someone else is streaming netflix or playing video games elsewhere that's I mean that's gonna be a crap experience right yeah they all you know drink your milkshake yeah a little bit when it comes down to that what are you your I know Ben you're not the biggest gamer mmm you stole a bunch of games for me use a nikon d60 it's mine now I paid for dude to leave I'd off two of his victim in the same room I didn't give him as a time I gave him my entire catalog I gotta think that like this twenty dollars a month thing that doesn't it seem overpriced ooh you like shouldn't it be ten dollar like everybody likes ten dollars a month for streaming sure yeah okay that seems to be pretty regular video whether it's a different category read music and videos of their old games that's the old catalog they had already squeezed out all the money that they were gonna get from nobody much more i agree i know that is what i always do and you're not wrong what they should do is they should offer people who have a PlayStation Plus subscription a discounted rate for it and I should do that number one number two I think the the the starting rate should be if you want to do twenty dollars a month fine give me a discount for doing the year they had a temporary one it was like a hundred dollars a year and I believe three months is $45 which is way better than twenty bucks oh yeah how about that is so that's the move like I don't know who these people are paying per month like I don't know who does that anybody was like I'm gonna pay another twenty dollars again and not get like the 35 do you have even a hardcore gamer you only have so much time the day consuming you're spending your time on ps4 games so how do they justify paying that extra twenty dollars for old games right like and what like so you have you need to have a ps4 to access this right you need to have a certain sort of device like where's the where's the balance right I don't know but but that's sort of the deal with PlayStation now now it's coming to pc so you'll be able to plug in a dualshock 4 into your computer and play that service on your computer's is that a big deal is that important all the time another piece yeah it opens it up to people who don't own a PlayStation 4 right like it anybody can play the games right in your computer wait wait a minute it's only ps3 games right yes yeah yeah oh yeah david says good good but there is a there's a library of pretty good game for sure for sure I means pretty stock library it's there and they offer great so expensive it's a lot of my discharge you're talking about who you so much money yes I don't have sold catalog yeah are they good angle is their last gen their last gen though they're not like you know this these aren't ps1 games I don't know ideally they already made the money off of it though they already did the but they can make more money people like it always make more money and matter with you but I know it's like stop giving them money me like no no this could be even more lucrative yeah yeah yeah I look I can't say I disagree but that's the situation where right now I think playing them on PC is there is a special sort of thing about that because everyone has a computer and you don't need a super high-end computer cuz you're just screaming stuff essentially so I think it opens it up to a different audience who maybe doesn't have a PlayStation as it is and now they can do that
