do ps3 account and trophies carry over?

Not a huge fan, but it's not abhorrent either.

Most definitely yes.

They did carry over for the PS Vita. My PSN account trophy level is the sum of Vita and PS3 trophies. 100% sure they'll add PS4 to the mix.

Good interface from I what I see so far. By far the most mindblowing news are the Gaikai features.
-Let a friend take over and beat a level for you
-Try any game in the store with the click of a button
-Play a game while its downloading(this is huge!)
-Play all(?) PS4 games with Vita
-Fast Gaming Network out there!!

So it looks like pressing the PS button will zoom everything out like on Vita (going off the Gaikai stream image) yet it won't pause them? I'm really really wanting to at least get a basic understanding of it all!

that guy sucks at gaming... only 6 plats? pshh

7 plats

I can't wait to start uploading gameplay to my youtube account.

Look pretty nice. Simple and sleek. I am totally excited for some of these features too. Being able to play a friends game, or watch him or her play is awesome. Uploading gameplay is a welcome addition too.
