(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Playstation Now was unveiled to the world yesterday as the Gaikai powered streamingservice that will bring PSOne, PS2, and PS3 games to the PS4.


In an interview with CVG, John Koller explained that users who already own copies of their games in a physical form on PS3 or older platforms will not be able to get a digital copy of their game for free. At least not yet they won’t.


When asked if owners will simply have to put a PS3 disc into the PS4, Koller said, “We… uh, initially, no. So, we’re saying no to that right now.” CVG went a step further and asked if this was even a feature Sony was looking into. Koller responded with a resounding “no”.


It’ll be interesting to see if Sony offers some sort of discount for games you already own or if there’s just a one time subscription fee to access the games in the library like OnLive did with it’s Playpack.

I never normally hold onto my games but this has made even more sense to trade the old gen stuff in for new gen things.

Thoughts?

The console simply can't read the damn discs, it's not because they're money whoring, they're not putting time into making it so the PS4 can read PS3 discs, really don't wanna pay for that? Don't throw away your PS3, problem solved. As to be able to download a digital copy of physical games you own, that can already go wrong in many ways, people would be getting tons of games for free from just inserting a disc that wouldn't be theirs.
