there is one thing I can guarantee influenced this whole purchase: the Cell processor. They were NOT about to emulate the PS3 on the PS4. I'm no programmer but I'm about 100% certain being the Sony fanboy that I've unintentionally become the problems associated with that compared to emulating PS1 or PS2 architecture is just...ghastly.

But PS+ has very obviously been about older games, as has the PS Store as a whole over the past one or two years. I really can't imagine them running away from that platform opportunity now...I mean, maybe I can, but there's so much good will built up there. If the endgame isn't "and you can still play your PS+ copy of Just Cause 2 on PS4 while you wait for Just Cause 3" ... then I don't know what greater good PS+ has served this generation.


Or maybe I was just under the fantastic impression that I could build a library of instantly playable games (ie. Instant Game Collection) through my PS+ subscription if only I purchased them while they were free. To be told I'd have to keep my PS3 forever to take advantage of the SSIV: Arcade Edition file I've never had enough space on my HDD to download, but hoped would come in handy on PS4...that'd be a bummer.

But we'll just have to see. It's never as utopian as it seems.
