If a game is offered for free on Playstation Now, how do I just buy it instead?
I just got a PS4, and I was thinking of downloading Katamari Forever off the Playstation Store. I see that it's free for PS Now subscribers, but I don't want to start a subscription - I just want to pay the $7.99 it's listed at on the store page.
But, on the page itself, there doesn't seem to be any option to just buy it - I can only "Play for Free on PS Now".
I know I could just cancel the subscription, but I don't want to go through that hassle - I just want to buy the game and have it on my PS4 account, intact with save data and not having to pay a subscription to play it.
Is there an option to opt out of the PS Now download that I am missing?

Unfortunately, in this situation, there is no way to opt out of subscribing to PS Now to play the game. PS Now is a streaming service that allows you to play any PS2, PS3, and PS4 games it provides as long as you have the subscription to the service.
In this situation, you are wanting to purchase Katamari Forever and play it on your PS4. The reason why you cannot opt out of subscribing to PS Now is because Katamari Forever does not have a PS4 release. Katamari Forever was only released for the PS3 and then added to the PS Now service some time in 2017.
