@EdEN: I swear, one of these days I’m going to invent a drinking game based around you mentioning your backlog. The only problem is that I’m afraid I will die of alcohol poisoning (in which case you could have all my nintendo points!)

Well, sure, playing PS2 games on PS3 was not much of a draw for many, but my PS3 backlog means that no BC on PS4 will push me to not get one during the first year.

Also, streaming hurts poorw wolfkin and his internet cap.

While they haven’t finalized how they’ll work out the Gaikai service as far as payments go, I’m sure it will be a second tier fee to PS+ members. You won’t buy individual games but pay a subscription fee for the streaming service in general.

I know that’s not how Gaikai worked when it was on its own, but you figure Sony will want to find a way to make up for that almost $400 million purchase. Not to mention that they’ll be using Gaikai for the streaming to all devices for PS4 titles. So if it’s ten bucks more a month for that functionality PLUS the ability to have access to the back catalog then that’d be fine for me. Or maybe if you don’t have a subscription but the games you purchased were free to stream, that’d be interesting. Since they’ve already gotten money from you.

But who knows. They said they’ll announce more as the year goes on.
