The situation with demos and betas isn't great, but this is a very minor inconvenience. The bigger problem is Sony's lackluster backwards compatibility, which is at least finally happening again to an extent but it's still not great. If I want to play old PlayStation games, PC is my best bet, which is now how things should be.

Most of the good PS1 and PS2 games were remastered or launched as classics on PS4, or were substituted by modern sequels. I don't truly miss any of those older games. The solution Sony gave for that is PSNow. But perhaps with more pressure they start including more BC features, since they stopped having it because they saw little financial return.

Yeah, but I'm not interested in paying again for something I already own - especially when the improvments are very insignificant. I might actually be more willing to pay if I could trust I could play what I own in the future, but after Sony dropped support for (even digitally sold) PS1 games after PS3, I have little faith.

You are never ensured of anything. No one can be sure of the future. And the reason why the PS1 games you bought on PS3 doesn't work on PS4 is because there is no emulator on PS4. From what I understood PSNow titles for PS1, 2 and 3 were part of the subscription (like GP) and not paid extra. Will have to check.

But sure if you want to play the original PS1 games you can only play in PS1, 2 or 3 there is no denying.

Their arrogance is the exclusion of 1440p resolution which has been available since the Dark ages. The fact they said they could add it if theirs demand. That would mean if developers doesn't want 4k then it will be 1080 and if they choose dynamic then the lowest Res will be 1080p which is disappointing. The fact u don't have expandable storage for the time being shows arrogance as they expect people to be okay with deleting games and reinstalling them

For it to be excluded it would need to be there in first place. Was it? Nope. And Sony already answered they focused on the commercial standard for TVs. And even if you could output 4k a 1440p would on PS5 would only accept 1080p.

They made a slot for internal expansion, the fact that the FW isn't ready doesn't show arrogance, show they didn't had the time or you use other reasoning. If you were complaining about not being able to use cold storage that would be another point, which Sony said they are looking at.
