Any playstation heads in here? I'm considering buying it. But it just totally blows that you can't play ps2, and ps3 games on it. At least ps3 games would've been sweet to play on ps4. Maybe they just made the processors and graphics much better.

Lack of backwards compatibility never bothered me since I don't buy a next gen console to play old games.

Not this shit again. They are about as close to the same thing as it can get. The only things that will be different are certain games that will be exclusive to each console.

BodyMachine · « **Reply #9 on:** November 03, 2013, 04:23:45 PM »

yes close. but the chips are slightly diff. ps4 has the edge. in the end user may never know. the game designer has to really utilize the hardware, even then it's close. just stating a fact. memory interface is better as well

From sony's site, nope.

Can I play my PS3 games on my PS4 system?

No, PS4 does not feature backward compatibility for PS3, PS2, or PSone games.

I'll definitely get one but probably not till next year when NHL 15 comes out. I'm sure they'll have a super slim version by then anyways.

I have so many PS3 games unplayed and still in the wrapper.

You can play them online through their Gaikai streaming service.

x2.

Play the system who has the exclusives you like, and/or the one your friends game on as well.

In my opinion, the playstation plus membership is a way better deal than xbox live and that is one of the reasons I'm going with the ps4.

I pay about $3.30 a month for Xbox Live, so it's a non factor for me.

I was referring to free games and discounts available to playstation plus members.

Never was. It depends on the exclusives you want. Titanfall seals it for me.
