I'm regularly on a Mac or iPad. Bring the service to these platforms and I might consider it.
If it's Playstation, I'll stick to just PS+.
Wait, this is on top of PS+ ? Should make PS+ a subset of PS Now for early adopters.

When you boil down whats worth playing from the ps3 is there really that much avalible you can't get in other places ?
I dunno man $20 a month is pretty steep . Under $10 a month and its a no brainer above $10 and its a I will think about it , $20 or more a month and its a forget about it.
i wonder why Sony really adamant on limiting PS Now service only to special Samsung TV, some Sony TV, and PS4. They afraid it got cracked if it comes to PC or something?
How could it be cracked when it's entirely online streaming and requires authentication?
I remember Samsung already signed on to Gaikai when Sony bought them. So those seem to be existing commitment, plus internal devices.
Yeah, but based on their current pace and strategy, it'd be hard for them to outdo Samsung and the rising large Chinese manufacturers.
On the Playstation front, it would be a slow and hopefully steady marathon as well.
it will be great if they finally properly support PC...
but looking at their PC software development history. i will be surprised if they releasing it anytime soon. (remoteplay on PC is abandoned, Content Manager on PC is a clunky slow mess).

It should be a native app on iOS for best performance. Safari doesn't support extensions or MSE.
Gaikai already runs in a web plugin on Windows right ? They only need to port it to Chrome and Safari Extensions, if not already done so.
EDIT:
Killing off Playstation Mobile was the right move, but it dragged on for longer than necessary. Development was too slow.
Hopefully the PS Mobile team is moved to work on Gaikai clients.

It appears that it is, in fact, a separate list of games available to the subscription service. You can see the list here.
Its not on top of PS+, it is separate from PS+. I'm guessing your aware of that, but its an important point of clarification.
Patsu's use of "on top of" means "in addition to", a second independent service.

Perhaps regional language differences. To me on top of implies that you need PS+ as a base subscription service.
It's a cost on top of what we are paying for PSPlus.
And, in my opinion, quite steep.

You might be right. 
Coming as a PS+ subscriber, one (Patsu) would have to pay for PSNow on top of the current PS+ subscription. But you don't need PS+ for PSNow, and if you're not a PS+ subscriber, it isn't a cost on top of.

Is there really a market for this? Or are Sony preparing for something else.
I personally have no interest in playing old PS3 games and I guess the about 80mill PS3 users aren't interested so much either.
So, are there any rumors about the future extensions of PSNow?

They're stepping into delivering their goal of delivering PS4 games. Anybody remember the February 2013 reveal when among the goals for PS4 was that all games would be accessible (without demos) by streaming?
See something in the store you fancy and want to try before you buy? No problem, quickly stream and play a portion of the game.
I think the reason they are starting with PS3 games is because few are 1080p. 720p and lower will reduce the stress on the server farm and people's connections.
Goals! Those pesky little things few people ever actually reach properly, on time, or at all.

I think they'll do it (it's why Sony bought Gaikai) but I wouldn't like to hazard a guess when. Obviously there are still hurdles before gaming streaming over IP is viable for the masses and Sony can't solve these alone. People need decent connections for a start.
You can basically run PSNow on any device with a fast internet connection.
