New wave of PlayStation Now beta invites sent out

4.4
A fresh wave of PlayStation Now beta invites has reportedly been distributed by Sony.

Multiple sources told IGN that the beta invites appeared up in their email inboxes on Thursday night.

Revealed at CES in January, PS Now will initially stream PS3 games (other platforms to follow) to PlayStation systems, Sony Bravia TVs and, in future, other Sony and non-Sony devices.

A PS Now beta is currently ongoing in the States, where Sony will launch the service this summer. It has been reported that PS Now won't arrive in Europe until the first quarter of 2015.

PS Now will enable customers to rent individual games or pay for full library access via a yet to be confirmed subscription fee. In mid-March, game rental options were spotted on the US PS Store, seemingly confirming that the service will let users stream rented titles for one, seven or 30 days, although the functionality isn't yet enabled.

For a "low latency, high-quality gaming experience", Sony recommended that PS Now users have at least a 5Mbps connection.

A great service and all but why do i get the feeling, 5mbps is reallyy no where near enough for streaming? Especially when it comes to streaming PS2 games to PS3 at upscaled 1080p Resolution?

I have a very bad feeling about this...
