Amazon Luna

That link have more information.

So Amazon makes their answer against Ps4 and Xbox X-series. Amazon Luna, its a service that is like the Netflix of games. You can play games released on PS4 and Ps5 with your smart tv or PC. Just buy a Luna controller and subscribe to their service. I am not sure though if people with slow internet connection can handle these games. The greatest advantage is that your PC hard drive wont get full anymore. I think if fast internet connection will become cheap it can defeat consoles but at this moment only fast internet people can enjoy this.

This will make parents go broke for sure, because kids nowadays want the finest of things, they want what's current and that is very costly. but if it's gonna be used so be it.

I'm not a big gamer, but this seems interesting. $6 a month is pretty cheap for a game subscription. Looks like there's a line/invitation to get in though.

Stadia failed since most people cant afford 100 mbps internet but if you can afford it, It will be a great experience.

6 dollars monthly subscription is good even in Indian currency. Not economical yet affordable by many.
Yet it would be tough for the parents whose wards have keen interest in these gaming stuff and do not pay much attention to studies.

Only boomers think videogames are bad. My parents told me its bad for my studies yet I graduated College and also survived a very depressing life.

That looks small speed. I hope resolution will be good and games will not lag. Anything else would be bad.

I wish they had a trial period for the subscription, but I guess that's impossible since we have to purchase the controller to get access to the subscription service. Any news on how much the controller will be?

Amazon Luna controller is $49.99 but you can use old playstation or xbox controllers as well. Or even those controllers meant for pc. Any controllers can work for pc but for smart tv then you will need the Luna controller

I heard this system is going to fail just like the remember the google game console
? already forgot the name lol.. they need their own character like Sonic or Mario to compete..
all gaming companies have a main character...
now i luna allows you to play lets say Mobile Legends on your big screen with a controler..
then I could see it having some success.. cause I would love to play mobile games..
but on bigger screen

Nope its console games only but you can play console games on phone and tablet. The assumption it will fail have something to do with most people cant afford fast internet like Stadia buts Luna's minimum is 10 mbps which I can afford.

$50 for the controller isn't bad. Perhaps I'll put myself on the list to buy one. It looks pretty good.
