Having BC is more then just playing your own games. It opens up a full library of games that you could walk into a shop and pay dirt cheap prices for. Its a great feature to have, but if you prefer to be charged a rental sevice to play a game that you alredy own then thats fine. I am not here to sell it, but again why avoid the point that Sony should be doing it for you anyway then just allowing them to nickle and dime for the next few years. Also this isnt about system sales, this is about doing the right thing for gamers. You should be allowed to play your old games on your new system. Nintendo do it, PC does it, Xbox is doing it and PS is charging you for it.

That ... makes no sense.

Remove PS Now? Because you own every game on PS Now? Because there is no one who bought a PS4 who did not own a PS3?

Seriously, think things through before you make a thread.

One more thing to add. The attatch rate on PS3 is only 10 to 1. That means their are many people that own less that that, and just a handfull that own way more. Even I only have 60 PS3 titles. I will never play 90% of them again. The ones I would play again, are available on PS Now, or have come to PS4 in as a better game than they were on PS3. I pretty much use B/C to play games I might have missed in the previous generation, and have not come back as remasters. These games can be played on PS Now, for 3 to 5 dollars, and they are always available, and again, they can be played on any device in my house.

So my final answer to your poll is, No PS Now should continue to be improved while B/C is developed for the future of the service, and the small crowd of people that have a massive catalogue of previous gen titles.

Poor thread dude.

PS-Now isn't BC, it a video game streming service that will be expanded to TVs and PC other than PS4.

Fun fact: PS-Now is on PS3. If it's a BC service then why would you have PS3 games on it?

Now if you said they should allow people to play the PS Now version of the game when the PS3 disk is inserted into the PS4 then you would have a case.

If Sony gives PS4 B/C, then I wouldn't be able to justify buying their amazing remasters for significantly more than the original game's current value.

Firstly, Xbox One doesn't have a native backwards compatibility and the number of games available is very limited.

Secondly, backwards compatibilty was and never will be an important feature. It's a nice bonus, but only a small part of gamers use it or decide to buy a console because of that. And introducing backwards compatibilty two years after lunch is pretty much useless. You know, gamers buy new console to play new games.

Lastly, PS Now is a service that allows people without a console to play Sony games wherever they want, it is not meant to be PS4 backwards compatibilty, but a lot of people still fail to grasp it's purpose.

More of the same reading these posts, Sony can do no wrong... how about starting a PS church & sing praise to Sony???

I don't care at all about backward compatibility.

If i want to play a ps3 games, i do it on ps3. If i want to play a ds game, i play it on ds.

Even my ps3 who had ps1 AND ps2 retro, i didn't tried it more than once.

Ahhh No! PS Now is a vastly superior feature because you have access to every game that Sony puts up on PSNow as opposed to only those games you already own and have already mostly played. You can buy b/c 360 games for Xb one, but that's a full purchase. With PS Now you can pay a small amount and give the game a try, and if you like it you can pay a bit more and play it through, but still generally end up paying less than buying the game outright. Add to the fact that you don;t even need a console to be able to play PS Now games.

The only thing Sony should ADD to PS Now is a form of b/c for PS4 with doisc recognition which allows you to play the streamed game for free.

Game streaming is the future, b/c is the past, why ditch the future focused service for one that is rooted in the past?

psnow isn't just available on the ps4 tho and I don't think smart tvs or other devices will be able to natively run ps3 games on their hardware, less so the devices that don't feature blu ray drives...
