Reminder On What Was Actually Said Regarding PS3 Support After 3.0

[Derio]

Honestly if the reason you aren't upgrading is because the ps4 doesn't have any good games, then that is complete bs. I mean ff15 drops in november and there are plenty of games already out with extremely high ratings.

If your not due to financial reasons, a refurbished ps4 cost 175 at gamestop. It will be even cheaper once the pro is released

A brand new slim model with full warranty is only $299. Holy crap, by the time Gamestop persuades you to pay another $50+ on their 'service' coverae or whatever, you're better off buying new anyway.

I've never had GameStop persuade me to pay $50 for their 'service coverage'.

Back to the point, I hope they wouldn't support PS3 for 4.0. It's an aged system at this point.

You must have better gamestop employees in your area, here they always try to sell some form of extended warranty since the refurbs have a limited warranty at purchase.

They ask if I want warranty and I say no. Discussion ends there. Swipe card, get receipt and leave.

As for loading times, they went away once I put in a SSD.

I think there will be fewer PS3-only players after Pro comes out, not because of the Pro itself, but because of the effect it will have on the regular PS4's price.


It won't be enough of a drop to lead to SE dropping support for it, of course. As Yoshi pointed out, they won't do that unless keeping it would prevent major features they want to add. I certainly don't see that happening any time soon. (And this is a company that didn't drop PS2 support from their other MMO until just a few months ago. PS3 has a long way to go before it's as outdated as that.)

Besides which, we'd have already been told if they were dropping PS3 support in 4.0. More likely, it will continue through 4.0 and 5.0. Maybe by 6.0 they might consider having the expansion itself limited to newer platforms with the base game and prior expansions still supported on PS3. They're not going to cut off PS3 players entirely, though, until the game is over, just as they did for PS2 and XI.

Don't forget the cost of the TV for those who are using an old one. If they aren't upgrading to PS4 yet, there's a good chance they haven't upgraded their TV.

[Derio]

HDMI port TV have been out for 10+ years now. I doubt a TV upgrade is the main reason

You underestimate poverty.

You underestimate poverty.

In that case, people probably have bigger things to worry about than a TV or upgrading game consoles.
