If you are not willing to fly to Canada to score a PS4, you are obviously not dedicated enough :whiste:

If I had the money I would, but being 20 years old and working at a petstore 35 hours a week, I can't afford a PS4 AND flights.

I'm still debating on the PS4.

If it played Xbox 360 games, I'd buy it.

Does the Xbox One play them? Can you game with people on a 360 if you are on a One? Does it come with hookers and blow? What about midgets?

the fuck?

Why wouldn't they do that?

Because it's a different CPU architecture and GPU architecture. Basically it wouldnt work unless you rewrote the games, or wrote a very complex emulator which would probably be so shitty that games would look horrible because the console wouldn't have the raw processing power.

Tl:dr

it isn't as easy as it seems.

Xbox 360 came out in Nov 2005. I don't think it is realistic to expect MS to maintain backward compatibility for something that old. Especially on console.

I already have something very similar to that.

Hot air, IR, digital temp control accurate to within a couple degrees.
