Can MS & Sony just simply make next gen fully BC?

Microsoft also gave out a game it has given out for free previously, this month.

Microsoft's Games with Gold is terrific, minus this months minor transgression... The fact they generally make all GWG games backwards compatible is what makes the service worthwhile. (Plus you actually own the Xbox Original/Xbox 360 games.)

It is certainly a shame that Sony hasn't taken note.

I didnt realize that. I suppose you could argue many could have missed it years ago but it sucks for long time subscribers that grab everything. Very odd given there is 1st party content that would have been fine.

On PS3 I have to stay a subsciber to access my content I guess. It sucks but I guess it the same with X1. I wish they made a deal for retired platforms to be titles I now own.

PS+ games you got for free will be locked when your PS+ expire, but once you renew (so far no one have seem a limit on how long you can stay expired without losing the games, but seems like no limit exist) you can regain access - perhaps when PS3 server support is cut you'll have issues to download it on anything until they have BC on another platform and access for these unified.

On Xbox Games with Gold, all og and X360 were yours for life.
