I still want Sony to introduce PS3 disc recognition for PS4 and allow you to access the game on PSNow for free, if it's there of course. It isn't b/c but the effect iso thermal same as MS's semi b/c.

That is actually a great idea. I do not see them doing it but certainly wish they would. 

Stupid fat fingers and typing on the phone with auto-suggest. Fixed now.

When PSNow was first announced I mentioned wanting this feature. People thought it was either dumb or not feasible. Well MS certainly showed that disc recognition is at least feasible. I do hope Xb one sees a significant sales increase with this semi-b/c because that might then encourage Sony to find an equivalent inducement in respect of past gen games. I bet it would be possible to achive game recognition for PS1 and PS2 discs as well with a fairly straightforward system update. It is also a way to get people to sign up for PSNow, which in turn will get people to pay to try out games they don't already own. You play the long game by giving people access to content they already own without additional cost on the basis that it gets them across the hurdle of signing up for the service, which they are more likely to use in future because they are already signed up. If they never sign up then there is zero chance of them ever using the service.
