@Eldeorn @sam628 it will definitely be a 64 bit processor. x86 doesn't mean 32 or 64 bit, it's just an architecture with it's own well established code libraries that's much easier to develop for than almost anything else. The way you know it'll be a 64-bit processor is that the unit will have 8GB of RAM. 32-bit processors can only address in total 4GB of RAM, so any ram additional to that would be wasted with a 32-bit processor.
@MelvinMcDougal Melvin you're not part of the future of play, how can you evangelise the new synergies of the PlayStation eco-system if you're not on board with the social media revolution?
@Pheonix_38 Nailed it. BC is a non-issue to me. I realise it's not like that for everyone, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. If I didn't finish a game at the time I was playing it, I either got bored with it or something newer and shinier came along to distract me and the game I stopped playing wasn't good enough to drag me back.
@ABEzilla116 I'm in the same boat as you. Never had a PS3 and missed out on all their exclusives. I borrowed one for a few weeks a while ago and caught up on Uncharted 1 & 2, but really it wasn't all that. I liked Heavy Rain and Journey though.
