PlayStation 4 can stream PS3 games, reports say

article published on 16 February, 2013

Sony will provide backwards compatibility with PlayStation 3 (PS3) games by supporting streaming them to the console, according to the Wall Street Journal. Last July, Sony acquired Gaikai in a deal worth $380 million, which led to speculation that the PlayStation 3 would be able to stream game demoes and possibly older PS2 games from the service.

I already know my next pc will support my games without needing to repurchase, and without an internet connection in many cases. It will even support games released in the Atari era....as well as atari games. Sony is such a scam.

Three is all I'll need. Everything else is emulated on my xbmc system.

Anyone make a good Xbox emulator yet?

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Surprisingly unless someone has just been building one for a private community and keeping it under wraps to avoid cease and desist orders from microsoft there is a major lack of xbox emulators out there. A few early emus that ceased production almost immediately are out there and one that only runs Halo, but aside from them that whole scene is desolate.

Good on you mate. Regards.


PS: Been playing a beta version of "Volgarr" set to be on the OUYA and it's kick-ass old-school hard. It's not exclusive to it but it's a promising start for the "people's console". I hope my hands last. :)
