I assume this means I'll have to buy or relicense all of my ps2 and ps3 games again? The hell with that. I'll just stick the old consoles until I absolutely need a ps4.. at which point I'll have 3 systems connected to my tv.

I already know my next pc will support my games without needing to repurchase, and without an internet connection in many cases. It will even support games released in the Atari era....as well as atari games. Sony is such a scam.

Three is all I'll need. Everything else is emulated on my xbmc system.

Surprisingly unless someone has just been building one for a private community and keeping it under wraps to avoid cease and desist orders from microsoft there is a major lack of xbox emulators out there. A few early emus that ceased production almost immediately are out there and one that only runs Halo, but aside from them that whole scene is desolate.

Good on you mate. Regards.

PS: Been playing a beta version of "Volgarr" set to be on the OUYA and it's kick-ass old-school hard. It's not exclusive to it but it's a promising start for the "people's console". I hope my hands last. :)
