The Psychology of PlayStation Now Pricing

#1

You may look at those options and be baffled as to why Sony would even include the “4 hours for $4.99 option.” Four hours? There are very few games that can be fully experienced in just four hours, and Darksiders II is definitely not one of them. For just two more dollars you can get the game for 7 days –that’s 164 additional hours. So why even have a 4 hour option that nobody is going to pick?

Well, I’ll tell you why. But first we’re going to have to talk about beer. Yaaaaay! Beer!

$6.99 is actually a quite cheap alternative for me since I usually focus on playing the single player campaign and ignore any multiplayer modes. If they start adding new games then I might give it a try.

#3

I don’t ever plan on using Playstation Now, but that’s actually really smart. That said, i can definitely see why economists have no friends.

#4

Well, I also like having a library of games in my shelf and that’s worth some extra $s.
