Useless for me since I can access all apps from any room I'm in with my Smart TV's and streaming devices.

Still, I guess it's useful for some people who may only have things like a Vita TV or Vita in one room and PS4 in another and they want to use other apps.

SoundGamer3744d ago

It will be useful to some and useless for others. I know sometimes I just want to lay in bed and watch something on Amazon through my Vita (dat OLED) but the Vita has no Amazon app, so this works for me!

SoapShoes3744d ago

Well I'm pretty sure it's useful if you're not at your house. I've often been on remote play and wanted to use some of the TV features of the PS4 but couldn't.

jonboi243744d ago

Wouldn't this just eat away at your bandwith?

ginsunuva3744d ago

If you're streaming inside your own home network, then yes it technically takes up bandwidth, but not the bandwidth going in/out of your home network, aka the bandwidth that matters.

Skate-AK3744d ago

You can sync it to your PS4 so it doesn't even use data. You can unplug your router,

ndrliang13744d ago

why isn't this a feature anyway? It is frustrating that the PSTV has little media function. this is probably easier for Sony to do that make a dedicated app

Gamer19823744d ago

This is good for Vita so it would make sense for Sony to keep this as an actual feature.. But they won't in fear of an exploit or something..

PANDAB3744d ago

The Vita already has its own Netflix app.

SoundGamer3744d ago (Edited 3744d ago )

It's not only about Netflix. That said, the Netflix app on Vita is terrible though. Sluggish and the UI is outdated. PS TV does not have a Netflix app either.

Phoenix763744d ago

There is no vita Netflix app in the UK sadly.

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts8h ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos2h ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

Alos889h ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX9h ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy858h ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

jznrpg9h ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX9h ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay6h ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg5h ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv729h ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer9h ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.
