It was inevitable, especially after Xbox shut theirs down. Glad we got a few extra years. I purchased everything I wanted before the last shutdown.

The saddest part for me, is that this kills any chance of the PS6 being truly BC with ps3 (Which wasn't likely anyway...but I was hoping)

With the added knowledge that PS6 will be digital only, I decided to rebuy a PS3 slim and download all my digital titles from the era before the nuke is detonated.
