What kind of speeds do you need to 'shareplay'? I tested it at 7 mbps down and 2 mbps up, and when I tried to get into shareplay the PS4 just guffawed in my face with an "insufficient internet speed" message.

Yeah, there was a link posted somewhere - a case of enter your PSN ID if you're interested in taking part. I received an invite this morning via email.
I like the idea, as I didn't have a PS3 and therefore haven't played the likes of ICO and Uncharted. Am guessing it will be cheaper to pick up a PS3 at some point, but would prefer to go via the PS Now route, so it's worth trialling.

I've tried the PS Now beta on a 3mbps down / 0.5mbps up and it don't work for me.
TBH there's nothing I'd really pay for on the service as I've played or own all the PS3 games I wanted.
I would suggest it will cause issues for PS Now takeup until general internet speeds are improved. Granted I don't have superfast at home but I can stream Netflix & Amazon fine.

It's a bit of a mixed bag. Dead or Alive 5 seemed to work well, Dirt 3 not so much. The analogue inputs are just too laggy to keep up with the direction changes. Much the same experience I had with driving games on OnLive.
I'm on an 80/20 fttc line FWIW.
Edit - Wolf Among Us has issues with the analogue sticks too.Last edited by MartyG; 16-04-2015, 07:54.

Yeah, it's a joke. I get around 6Mb down and about 500Kb up. Must be the worst connection in London. I actually find my Three 4G connection much more reliable for online gaming (the little that I do, mostly MK8).
I would really love to have fibre. As it is I'm forced to pay a not-inconsiderable sum for line rental when I don't even own a home phone.Last edited by wakka; 16-04-2015, 09:25.
