As officially mentioned in the "Compatible Devices" page of the PlayStation Now website, the compatible devices for PS Now are PS3, PS4, PS Vita, PS TV and Sony TVs, and nothing else. The "Compatible Devices" page of the PlayStation Now website obviously contains the most up-to-date information which this Wikipedia article would base on. Other generic devices (not mentioned in that page) such as "smartphones" should not be added. --[[Special:Contributions/216.254.166.81|216.254.166.81]] ([[User talk:216.254.166.81|talk]]) 19:57, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

To ask a slightly more well-formed question, what this article is missing is a clarification of whether the mentioned "streaming" is pixel streaming (à la [[Google Stadia]]) or file streaming (à la [[Steam (service)|Steam]]), or both, or some game-dependent mixture of the two. --[[User:RobertStar20|RobertStar20]] ([[User talk:RobertStar20|talk]]) 02:00, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
