From what I hear, game systems will have a shelf life of about 8-10 at this point. Who has the money to drop 400-600 dollars every 5 years... not including games, accessories, and any other online content?

The PS2 Classic support is currently being tested. Some games have been rated in Europe and those PS2 Star Wars games are coming with the LE console.
Comes with better graphics (think it might internally upscale the rendering, but not sure yet) and trophy support. http://i.imgur.com/GWq60zd.jpg |
