Those all sound really cool. But is the BC part talking about downloadable versions of old games, or being able to actually put your disc in the console?

Not sure about PS2 games, but as far as I'm aware the PS4 can't read CDs.

About CD, it's a question of adding software support for it and I think only for audio-cd. Sony already talked about an update to enable it.

As for BC on physical games, no announce about that, it would be good but I think the point for them is to sell games.

Intersting, I recall reading that the lens itself couldn't read them.  No software could fix that, but I read that back around February during announcement time.

That's what yoshida San said in a chat in November, that they were discussing about when they'll add the feature. There are some news all based on the chat like this one.

Now that I think about it, that's the first and last time I read news about it, I hope he knows what he talks about ! But really, I've never heard about a lens that read BR and DVD but not CD.
