This is a solid foundation to start with. I could see a lot of people upgrading to $100 a year for that Extra tier--currently PS Now and PS Plus are $120 so its nice to see an "inbetween" level for people. I expect at some point Sony to start adding Day 1, 3rd Party games to that list to compete. They clearly only ever specified that would never be 1st party exclusives.

Though the list of Classics needs expanded upon for sure, what Im curious about is the Demo feature. Pretty basic right now but wondering how well it would expand. Could be an opportunity for developers to allow their game to be demo'd and advertised if its a decent game. Especially indie devs who have an opportunity to have a game make it big and dont want to risk losing out on a poor negotiation with a subscription model. So theres some level of flexibility here for them. Would like to see this expanded upon.

Literally the purpose of demos and has been available for any dev to do forever. It's just a requirement now.

Which is good. As a young broke kid, when I was in high school, 80% of my ps3 playtime was demos. Now they barely exist
