Ask KnightDriver. I've never used them, but am planning on using a free trial from Double Toasted after my spring break, which ends March 20.

On topic: 

Man, I loved Hot Pursuit. I don't get why the new NFS doesn't let you play as cops.

I kinda figured the Olympics were mini-games. I saw Hot Shots Tennis on sale for PSN last night. I haven't played a tennis video game in a while. Those are fun. 

I'd love an on-the-go collection of old Tomb Raiders to see what they're like. That has to exist, right?

I love the modern Tomb Raiders, but I keep hearing the old ones had more focus on puzzles. I guess folks aren't doing all the side quests I am. What's irking me right now in Rise is I've already completed all 4 tombs in Geothermal Valley, but when I go to the mission giver who wants me to find all the tribe's ancient secrets via completing said tombs, Lara said she hasn't found all of them. Yes you did, B***! I can see that you did on my map! So I don't know if that's a glitch or what.

Edit: Looking it up, it says you must complete "all 9 challenge tombs." So ok, only 4 are in that area. That's where I got confused.

PS4 definitely installs to HDD. Several articles said that around launch time. It's because the HDD is faster than Blu Ray drive.

I really wish PS Now was more like what MS is doing. MS is definitely winning as far as creative ways to provide BC. I'm going to start a Gamefly sub some time after our Spring Break, so I don't have to change addresses to get my games. 

After looking it up, I think PS4 installs the game on the HDD, but nothing seemed to indicate NEEDING the Internet. This may mean more physical purchases on my end, especially when the physical and digital copies are the same price (Until Dawn is $20 at both my local GameStop and the PS Store).

I never got enough bad CDs to swear off renting. Oddly enough, I've had the most issues with that when renting Blu Ray movies from Red Box. 

We used to have Mickey's Video Store nearby. Not sure Disney would have approved had they seen the marquee with an image of their copyrighted character in it ... 

I stopped renting after Gamecube, only because I didn't have the newer systems. 

There is reselling to other people though. Pocketing the money yourself as opposed to being nickel-and-dimed by GameStop or pawn shops. 

True, but given that every time I've thought to trade a game in, no matter how old it was, I've been offered like $5 ... 

My 2015 game would in fact be Rocket League. It was the surprise of the year. Good choice for #3, Patrick. I have yet to get past the street in Yarnam where the carriages are in Bloodborne (probably several, but that's the best way I can describe where I left the game before removing it to make room). I don't think it's scary, but I don't love the immediate difficulty spike.

Wish I could play Splatoon, but Wii U just doesn't interest me enough. I'd like to play Bayonetta 2 and some first party games, but not enough to buy a console. Zelda is the only thing that would get me to do it and given that it's on the Switch as well ...

Until Dawn was great! I really want to get it now for $20 (physical is same price at my GameStop, so might as well go that route) even after watching a playthrough on KittyKatGaming past where I left off in my rental. I just want to PLatinum it by getting all the possibilities. I can see myself playing it several times just to see "what if." 

Rise of the Tomb Raider is great on PS4. That'd be my pick for 2015 had I played it that year. I agree that it's very similar to 2013 Tomb Raider and having played it, I'm with you Julian. I know I read Casey's review, but I forget what his argument was. 

Same here.

I think people who argue for PS Now must be Sony fanboys. I should do research on how brand loyalty affects the gaming market in particular. Regardless of company, folks are willing to swallow some putrid shit in the name of brand loyalty.
