    Is PS4 backwards compatible?

    HBS x

    Nope.. it's not even CD compatible.
  • Don't have a PS4 but my PS3 is only really used as a Netflix / Blu Ray player.

    When I bought it I knew that I would hardly use it for games as I am more of a PC gamer but I wanted a blu ray player and at the time I purchased it the price of a stand alone blu ray player was not much less than the cost of the PS3.

    I have been thinking of buying some 'popular' pre-owned games from Cex though and giving them a bash, maybe I will become hooked ;)

    I recommend Skyrim and Oblivion, both will keep you involved for many months.
    Owed out = lots. :cool:

    This is exactly what I did and I'm really into puzzle games now. I like Portal and the Lego games, they're really fun!

    I got a PS4 on launch day, i am disappointed with the games so far, few and far between. My machine i now use for netflix.... :cool: and rarely play games on it.

    I am looking forward to Elder Scrolls 6 and i think thats about it, when i have played that game to death i think i will sell the PS4.

    Wow, that's disappointing. You could have done the same using an Apple TV which costs around £70, or even hooked your existing laptop up to your TV.

    Must admit, in no position to buy a PS4 atm (nor do I really play anything beyond the odd casual game on my Macbook/iPad so not really a gamer), but out of this and the XBOX One, the PS4 does seem the stronger machine.
