Getting old games back is nice, but the way they do it really isnt. If I had a PS4, id rather stack up my old PS1 and PS2, instead of paying for my games again.

You'll be able to rent titles individually or pay for a subscription.

We want to offer you choice when it comes to how you want to access content on PS Now, so you will be able to rent by title for specific games you are interested in. We’ll also offer a subscription that will enable you to explore a range of titles.

It's kind of like OnLive (which failed and has gone bankrupt several times now..) on consoles
I guess they'll have something similar to OnLive's PlayPack where it would include a pack of playstation games that have been popular on PS3, PS2 and PS1.
The connection requirement for this service is a 5mbps connection; I'm not sure if it's upload or download speed but on OnLive it was the download speed that was required to be 5mbps so I'm assuming it's download on PlayStation Now as well.
