10 Most Jaw-Dropping Moments From The Major E3 Press Conferences

8. You'll Be Using Playstation Now Before The End Of The Year, And It Works

Playstation Now works. It Works well. Well, it worked well at CES 2014 if Yahoo News and other media outlets are to be believed, and sources currently in the closed beta say it works superbly for RPGs, Strategy Games, and even action games that aren't 100 percent focused on twitchy shooting. Which is to say in a very short amount of time game streaming is going to be very real, which opens the door for something closely resembling a 'basic cable' for gamers, where there's a selection of titles you can play and enjoy for a small fee that rotate in and out every month and don't require six hour long downloads or fiddling with hard drive space. Of all the "next gen" focused announcements this year at E3, the sudden tangibility of Playstation Now, with the upcoming open beta in July, holds an incredible promise for folks who want to experience gaming's history but not pay an insane premium for games they may only want to try out and not buy.
