Nice move to backwards compatibility... PS1, PS2, PC, etc.

How is it backwards compatibility when you have to re-buy these games?

As someone said above, you can just put your game in and when the PS4 or whatever detects the disc it'll allow you to stream the game. This is what was done with the PSP-Vita program in Japan.

I just noticed something that made me lol.

Sony invested 1 billion USD in the cell processor and spends another 400 million to buy a company to avoid backwards compatibility issues with it so they can finally ditch it. Kind of ironic, isn't it?

At the beginning of this generation and a couple of years in, the cell processor was a myth and oh so powerful even though games did not show it.
