I can't imagine what the price would end up being for a PS4 with PS3 inside. A lot of people who bought into early adoption with PS3 ended up making a good investement because they were able to replay their old games. I didn't feel a need to do this because "new" was supposed to be "better". Newer games with better graphics and game engines, and all in HD were supposed to make you forget about the PS1 and PS2. But the lesson learned was HD does not equal better games necessarily. The quality of games, innovation and imagination ended up popping up in the indie scene. We didn't need 1080P and blu ray to make good games. Actually the only reason I felt compelled to go back and play old games was because I felt their quality had improved over time compared to new games, liken to vintage whine. I don't necessarily replay old games because of nostalgia, but because old games are sometimes better than new ones. I like HD games and all, but as more games start looking the same in HD, the more bland they will become. We will get over the "shiny" new coat of paint factor right away. That's what kind of worries me about Sony and PS4. Way too much emphasis on graphics. Do you all remember the Dreamcast? Yeah, just saying.
