ya me too, its basically my blue ray player for my bedroom now(PS4 in living room)... but if I had to urge to play a PS3 game its right there.

Come to think of it the only plus to the PS4 having BC would be because the DS4 is far Superior to the DS3. So I could play old games with my DS4. That said no interest in old games right now.

What if your older games got a noticeable performance boost from BC?  Would that entice you?

PS3 games were designed with an anemic, nearly non existant GPU in the RSX. Running it on the PS4 with a huge amount more GPU and RAM without completely redesigning the game would probably have worse performance because, the games were designed to run with PS3's cell rather than PS4's Jaguar.

XB1 style BC of providing a digital copy could work but, the cost benefit doesn't work in sony's favor, especially since they have so many games on PS Now.

It only works for MS, cause they can increase transference from 360 to One, BC doesn't make any money at all.
