I honestly don't get the love of backward compat. Once I've finished a game I rarely go back to it on the current platform

let along a game from a previous platform.

I've had the PS4 for 6 months now and not once have I even thought about turning the PS3 back on.

The Bioshock games alone justify it. - David Jun 17, 12:51
I will gladly replay the Batman games (it was the reason I resisted the XBone). -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:18
I have multiple games I'm still playing on the 360. If I bought the One I'd need to back and forth between them or just give up - Krusty Jun 17, 12:18 12
- Did you see the initial list of BC games? It's...tiny. -- nm - Shaun Jun 17, 12:19 11
  - They'll get more game developers to get onboard and the games I'm playing on the 360 are rather recent so they should port over soon enough. -- nm - Krusty Jun 17, 13:00 5
    - Did you know that if you buy Fallout 4 for xbone you get Fallout 3 also with it - eag Jun 17, 13:06 4
      - I did but I already have Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Nice bonus for people that haven't played the previous game. -- nm - Krusty Jun 17, 13:12 3
        
        I can see myself in Fallout 4 - eag Jun 17, 13:20 2
        
        I'm the opposite. I don't really care about setting up my own town or caravan. I just want to wander around doing jobs and fighting mutated monsters. -- nm - Krusty Jun 17, 13:22 1
        
        Hopefully they improve the vat system cause I hated that -- nm - eag Jun 17, 13:29
  - and other than mass effect they all seemed pretty crappy -- nm - decline Jun 17, 12:21 4
    - This is why. From Forbes. - Spawn Jun 17, 12:24 3
      - And here we have votes! -- (link) - Spawn Jun 17, 12:27
      - Don't underestimate the "we'd rather remake the game with slightly better graphics and sell it to you again at full price" aspect. -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 12:26
      - I can't see Gears and Halo making the list as they already or will have remasters done. -- nm - Shaun Jun 17, 12:25
I turn the PS3 on when I want to play a physical movie disc. I probably haven't done that in at least a year. -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 12:17 1
- PS3 was my main tv's media machine, but now with the PS4 media app, it might be time to retire it. - Shaun Jun 17, 12:19
Same. I have 3 physical games for PS3. I am not a collector. -- nm - Shaun Jun 17, 12:16 3
- I have probably around 10, but that's because the resale value was so low I didn't think it was worth it - decline Jun 17, 12:18 2
  - I do have a Steam like library of unplayed PS+ freebies though. -- nm - Shaun Jun 17, 12:22 1
    - I just tried counting how many PSN games I own that I've never played and gave up when I hit 65 in just the past year. -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 12:48
