People need to get over themselves. While I agree that it'd be nice to get BC, it's not going to happen. It's also beyond stupid to think that Sony owes people free access to PS Now... or even bundling it into PS+.
I've said this about 400x now. PS Now costs Sony money every single second of use. They literally dedicate a server blade to your specific session. Netflix, Amazon, Vudu etc only require like 0.1% of the server resources that cloud gaming does.
Additionally, PS Now only has a limited number of servers; and there's this thing called supply and demand. Having no consumer cost would drive demand exponentially. There wouldn't be enough infrastructure to handle the load and the experience would become terrible for everyone (and more importantly actual paying customers).
The ONLY way to make this work, would be to give people access to owned digital ps3 games that are not included in the subscription library if you are on the actual PS Now sub (PS+ is too cheap, and includes too much too even break even).
That said, they will announce PS1/PS2 bc sometime this year... my guess is that's the next big firmware update.
