I say BC could (or should) be optional, like a expansion Slot/Cardrige solution!

That way, the PS4 can be manufactured cheaper without eliminating the possibility of BC

I say BC should be a requirement.  For PS3, Sony removed BC because lower res upscaled to HD are just not up to the snuff.  I know because mine has BC and it's kind of painful to play through PS2 games.

With PS4, there shouldn't be problems with graphics because PS3 is already HD.  The only problem would be if they changed architecture and moved away from the cell processor.  In which case a cartridge add-on would not work, imagine putting teh c311 into a cartridge...  Not a very feasible solution.


Hmmm, I'm pretty sure that Sony removed PS2 BC (and renegged on a core promise to their fan base to $AVE MONEY).  Let's not go making them sound like the wise, generous rulers doing only what is best for the fans.

My PS3 has full BC and it looks just fine on my TV.  It is not at all "painful".  I just finished playing GoW2 and it was far from painful, it was glorious. 

OT, I think all of the things listed here so far would be great, but you will never get ALL of these things with a 299 or 399 price point.  Personally, I would rather see more features and a 399 price point.
