Sony’s Massive PS4 FAQ Has Lots of Details

PS4 looks less and less appealing. Looks like I'll stick with current gen/PC for the foreseeable future

Holy crap, I didn't realize how cheap those things were.

Really?! No Audio CD's?! In 2013?!

Is this some kind of DRM stuff where Sony has to pay extra for audio CD playback? Because if not, this is pretty dumb.

@metal_mills: Go on NewEgg buy a 2TB 2.5" drive and put it in? You wont max that PS4 drive with games till well into next year by which time they'll add support for it. This stuff is dropping in hot son.

No Media Server or even MP3's.....thats ridiculous.

(EDIT) - This is pissing me off the more I think on it, guess they really aren't taking the same 'entertainment center' approach the XBone is.

Wait, DLNA is a Sony thing right? Why wouldn't they support it?

Kicking out the CD laser is a good idea, but DLNA and mp3 support? Even their TVs have that.

They could easily add in these features at a later date. And if there's one thing we know about sony, they are definitely open to suggestions.

I would say not being able to play mp3 files is a bigger deal than audio CD.

Or having to download that update to be able to watch bluray and DVD movies.

Why wouldn't a console be able to play audio CD's these days? Or MP3's?

Whats that CD from? SNK Games?

I had no idea people cared that much about DLNA and music playing on their consoles.

I know people will be salty about the lack of external hard drive support.

not being able to play MP3s is kind of a bummer but I never listen to music and play games anyways.

Cool stuff. I'll take 30 minutes and read through it.

External hard drives are not supported, but the 500GB hard drive is replaceable.

50gb+ downloads, can't add an external hard drive. Nice.

Interesting that they are dropping DLNA capabilities. Oh well, at least my PS3 does an excellent job with that.

Huh, no external HD support. That's kind of odd. Thanks for the heads-up, Patrick, I'll have to take a look at this.

*edit*

Can PS4 and PS3 users play together online, cross-platform?

The functionality is technically possible and some developers may choose to support it for their titles.

Good news for my Destiny plans.

It doesn't bother me much but the PS Blog comments section is going nuts. I had no idea so many people used their PS3 as their primary media server. It's a real shame for those folks.

I give it 5 days past launch until there is a workaround. Besides, PS3 media streaming has always been kind of wonky (for me anyway).

They'd better patch in media streaming by the time I buy one next spring. I spend a lot of my time streaming HD video from giant bomb through PS3 Media Server.

That sucks for DLNA but oh well.
