Spider-Man is on PC (PS Now)

I imagine the Streaming wouldn't be available [yet] in most regions to begin with, considering how Streaming services operate (that is to say, the streaming provider needs a hub with a relatively short distance from the client, or latency can cause issues).

I wasn't able to find an official listing, but wikipedia lists the following:

PlayStation Now is available in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

I know I've asked the information of (Western) Europeans before, but at the moment I can't recall any of the minimum internet speeds that were indicated to be normal for the various regions. Over here in the States, though, 10mbps/1mbps seems to be considered as being the absolute minimum for download/upload for cable internet.

Moreover, I believe even satellite internet has reached the same minimum, now. Even 4G has a 5mbps/2mbps minimum, according to a quick Google search. So in theory, unless you've got some wonky (and presumably very rural) setup, you're likely to be able to easily clear a 5mbps connection speed minimum here in the States.

Cross-checking via Google, it seems that 25-30mbps is now a more typical minimum download speed for cable connections in more urban areas [as in, the majority of providers within urban regions set that as their minimum, not that fringe operators offering lower connection speeds can't still exist within those regions]. It's also generally just a single step up on those providers to get to 75 or 80mbps, or even 120 or 150mbps, depending on the provider.

At least early on, it seems likely that Sony is going to orient their streaming service specifically to the NA, European, South Korean*, and Japanese* markets. That said, Netflix is now available everywhere but China- so with that in mind, PS Now'll probably spread out similarly if the service gets enough traction or if enough time goes by.

* What with South Korea and Japan both having better internet speed averages than the US, as well as being major gaming countries.

So yeah- even if you can currently stream it from your region, odds are it won't be especially functional. I've already seen a fair number of critcisims over corrupted cloud saves from the google results on US users, so.. that doesn't bode well for regions with high latency or low internet speed. :X

They don’t seem to care about the Southern Hemisphere.

Debit cards are very common, what do you mean dude? It's nearly impossible to get a card without Visa or Mastercard support, both of which are supported by almost any online service.
