This drastically reduced my excitement for the system. *Sigh* Oh well...

Not surprised, it was either going to be temporary compatibility or none at all. Though I still have a PS3 so this isn't a problem. It'd be nice if this cloud talk means you can just enter a code or something on the disc and have the game available for download for free online instead of having to pay again like with PS1 & PS2 classics.

Cool I just saved $500!

I don't have anymore HDMI ports on my TV and I sure as hell am not going to give up the PS3's for a PS4. the PS3 can play PS1 games and I have all the collection discs of PS2 games... That's a lot to give up just for PS4. And considering I didn't like a single new IP for the PS3 I doubt I'll like PS4 games enough to give up PS1, PS2 and PS3 HD collections.

Now Microsoft has the opportunity to freaking bulldoze the playstation. Too many people have bought too many games this gen alone to give them up. PS4 buyers: have fun buying all your games over again and having your libraries grotesquely limited.

Hopefully it's software that'll recognize that I already bought the game and will let me automatically play those games I've already purchased.

That's not a huge concern for me. I rarely play with my old games anyway.

This is disappointing, but hopefully their solution to playing older games is practical and cheap.

WOOOOOOOO GO CLOUD!!!!!' GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!

I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Well, I hardly played ps3 so this news doesn't matter to me. So I'm more interested to see whats coming then what's passed. Still, sucks to have a large library that can't be played on it meaning you got to keep the ps3 around.

im not buying the same game twice, so unless theres a really really nice launch debut, im not getting it any time near first release. nicer colors and slim will come out in 2 to 4 years anyway.

If they didn't charge me for these games again, I'm OK with it. I will not be buying my PS3 games over again. I didn't think it was gonna be BC but it's still a bummer.

well, good news to digital users, bad news to physical users. *sigh*

they better *** find a way to make them free to people who already own them.

Now that's the big disappointment -.-

Yup, they just lost soooo much business.

Hopefully its not like xbox 360s BC where they promised a lot of titles but never got any good ones besides halo 2 of course.

Well that was a kick to the balloon sack.

A little disappointing, but I had. I intention of selling my PS3.

i assumed it wouldnt be Back Comp, but im still concerned about the rumor that the games will be tied to your account, and we wont be able to play used PS4 games. I hope they cover that
