As if none of the playstations have ever had backwards compatibility. If gaikai allowed the ps4 to stream ps3 games (probably for a fee)- I don't see why it would be outrageous to think that it might be able to stream games I've already paid for and own on a ps3. How is that any different from being able to play ps1 games you already paid for on ps2 or playing ps2 games you paid for on the early ps3's and xbox titles on the 360?

I don't actually own a vita, but I heard that you could download the digital titles you might have bought for the psp to the ps vita for free- and that was after sony removed ps2 compatibility from the ps3. It's really not that unreasonable to think they would do the same for the playstation home consoles (though I would think gaikai would need a small fee).

It doesn't matter if past Playstation consoles had backwards compatibility. That is completely different from taking your digital purchases to another console.

Can you play all digital PSP purchases on the Vita? Nope. Can you play all PS1 classics on Vita? Nope. Furthermore, how console

Perhaps some publishers will allow users to access some of their purchases on Gaikai. Its highly unlikely you'll get access to all your downloads. Publishers aren't likely to agree to that.
