I bought a PS4 and have spent a decent amount of time with it. Great interface, wish it was backwards compatible though with at least PSOne games to hold me over until some new AAA PS4 game comes out.

 

I was looking around my man cave and realized every Sony system I have in there can play Final Fantasy VII-IX except the PS4. Shame really.

Sony is supposedly scrapping the backwards hardware compatibility format for a monthly online library subscription to legacy PSN games I believe, from what I've read ... is that still in effect if anyone can confirm?

Yes hardware compatibility was scrapped, they are going to integrate the PSN service with Gaikai's streaming service (remember onLive?) so that you can play your PS1/PS2 games through a cloud service, eventually leading the way for PS3/Vita cloud gaming as well. It's still speculation atm (the service is expected to start in the second half of the year) and I'm fairly certain that even if you own the game you're still going to have to buy it again a second time on the service.
