PS NOW +500 games vs approximately +125 Xbox Game Pass. You also need storage space for said games.

-PS Now is more like Netflix in that it's instant streaming
-Game Pass is more like a digital library, where you have to wait on a line for 30-120 minutes, with good internet, before you can read your book.

Downloading has advantages in quality, but isn't that just an expanded, more expensive version of Games with Gold?

As far the price is concerned, that's correct, except that SONY has had a limited 1/yr sub at $100 for the past 2 Holiday seasons. They have brought the same deal back which lasts until mid-September.

They also allow for the 1st month at $10 for a limited time. So that's the same price, to try it out and see how it runs. Just wanted to keep users more up-to-date, with some missing info.
