The hardware in the PS4 can already handle PS1 and PS2 emulation. A PS3 add-on might interest some people, but it would hardly be a console seller, and they're already pushing PSNow (however weakly). An interesting idea though. I'd much rather a PS3 add-on over PSNow, although I honestly can't say there is any game on PS3 that I'd want to play at this point, except for Star Ocean 4 International--I just want the Japanese voices!

 


It would be better to just buy a PS3. But the PS4 should be doing full PS1 and PS2 B/C. Its very easy to emulate, especially since both console's are considerably weaker.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Depends on the price and if it offers full PS3 BC.





Sony, if you're reading this, do something new with The Legend of Dragoon. You will make me a happy man. Thanks.

Lol. But I've seen used PS3's going as low as 99$. No point buying an emulator when you can have an actual PS3.

Bear with me here.

So the PSVR will necessitate an add-on to the PS4 for extra processing power, right?

Wrong.

The little box does NOT add processing power.

That's awesome, but I think there would be a point in buying the add-on if it was $99. The add-on would be smaller than a PS3 and you wouldn't have to connect an extra system to your TV. I mean, I wouldn't buy it, but I think it's competitive.

Yes, but it would probably be cut back. Perhaps you can't play blu-ray movies, or you can't access the PS3's large selection of multimedia apps, ect.

 

I see no point in this, so I wouldn't buy it either.

Doesn't seem like it's worth it at this point.

Without the ability to access the PS3's huge PSN library (classics, originals and whatnot), you would definitely be better off with a PS3.

I would already be happy if they made it possible to remotely play the PS3 on the PS4



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
