PS4 version is AWESOME! Upgrade asap if you can.

I do disagree with this, however. The PS4 would have most likely been about $200 dollars more if they included the laser needed to read PS3 games into the PS4. Plus, I'm not a big fan of backwards compatibility anyway. I keep my old consoles incase I ever want to play a classic. It sucks in your case (with your PS3 crapping out and all), but I'm very happy with the PS4 just being a PS4. I would wager that if you have the type of job that allows you to just up and buy a new system when the old one craps out, then it shouldn't be too hard for you to save up $79-$119 bucks for a refurbished PS3 at game stop. I would also bet that those prices will be true for new versions of the systems in a short amount of time as well.

Lol? Its the same laser, they're both blue ray. This isn't DVD to blue ray, red laser to blue. Could've easily been done with an emulation program like the later PS3 models had.

O not to mention there's that company Sony bought before PS4 release that does that streaming stuff. It was expected that it might be an add on later.

Nah, considering the massive hardware difference, emulation software would not have worked.

I really don't think a 1.6 Ghz 8 Core jaguar CPU is fast enough to emulate the PS3 Cell processor. GPU wise it isn't a problem.

Yeah, that was my point.

Have you upgraded your dual CPU monster rig? All these console players moving to next gen makes me want to upgrade to UHD.

I'm probably going to wait for 8 core haswell-e for my next upgrade.

Nah, was too expensive at the time for an SR-X, I have a 4670K and SLI GTX 780s. The SR-2 Machine is still around, going to replace my aging server with it.
