So return your PS2, PS3, PSP and PSVita

Can play LoD on every single one of them.

So just pick your PS1 disc and play it on PS4... or use PSNow to play =p

Sacrifice the Vita further, it's already been sacrificed once.

PS4 can't play PS1 discs
And yeah... no, for PSNow XP

They really don't want you playing LoD huh... I though PS1 discs were playable... my bad.

How dare you! I would never trade my Vita in. But since there is a new Nintendo console on the way I did trade in my Wii U. Got $400 for it and the games towards the PSVR bundle I've had on pre order since last March. This is the week of VR Greatness.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Psone discs are playable on all Playstation consoles up until the PS4 launched, even the most un backwards compat versions of the PS3 can still play PS1 games and stream them to the Vita and PSP (every single ps1 game).

It's worth noting too that PSone discs are pretty much stored on Audio CD's with Track one being the game data and the rest of the tracks normally being the game soundtrack stored in CD audio format... and of course the PS4 cannot play Audio CD's at all so would need some extra work to be able to do anything with PSone discs.

Around the Network

I keep my PS3 around to play all the PS2 and PS1 games (be it through store or remasters) and of course my favorite PS3 games. Haven't downloaded the plus games on PS3 for awhile. I keep it for the true classics that I keep on disc to play every year or so like Infamous and Ratchet and Clank and the HD collections of Jak and Sly and such. I wouldn't mind them adding VR on and replacing it. However given the sheer install base it makes sense to cut the Vita off instead. That thing hasn't even done 15m while PS3 is almost at 90m

I had forgotten for a while about the dick move to not allow cd audio format on PS4. But surely if Sony really wanted to allow people to play PS1 game on PS4 they would be able to, but if they can resell them as digital games we know they will preffer that.

I'll be honest though after all of the shite about the ps4 pro not having a 4k blu ray player.... I've at least put an audio CD into the PS4 to see if it would play (found a copy of Simpsons sing the blues in a thrift shop) But yeah I've yet to actually bother sticking a Blu Ray movie into the console, between youtube/netflix and WWE network streaming to it the idea of going off to get a single disc for one movie seems almost archaic to me now.

Careful now, that sounds like it might summon something from the dark side...



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Something like the PS4?
