Purchases should be through a browser though. I doubt Sony wants to give Apple 30%.

also Iwata promised this feature like a year ago. Where is it Nintendo?
Forget the carrier pigeons from SCEJ, I'd pay a heavy premium for Red Pandas though! They can stay as long as they want and we'll kick it like true homies. Give me some damn red pandas, Sony.sometimes i don't understand the people here..
how the hell you want such a feature WITHOUT BEING GOD DAMN ONLINE. yeah sure, a carrier pigeon will be sent from Sony Japan, to start your playstation. Bloody...
If you don't want this, then you switch the feature in the preferences off. Easy it is. Jesus, stupid "Always online" arguement.

Always online.
Sounds like always online.....
Realy good feature.
But this feature is not required for the console to function. I don't understand the level of cognitive dissonance it takes to equate mandatory online checkins with an optional method to download games.
If a PS4 goes offline, you'll still be able to play your games and use offline features. Calling a console "always online" because it has online-centric features is disingenuous.
Guys help me out here. Is anyone else very annoyed by this intellectually dishonest bullshit or do I have some kind of problem? These individuals know that's not why we hated always online or what we actually meant by that (the required part of course and DRM crap) and they still choose to be purposely obtuse just to troll.
You guys realize this means it's "always online".
Awesome feature but is it somewhat redundant if you can start playing a game immediately while you're downloading?
It's gonna be really difficult showing restraint when you're basically gonna be carrying the PSN store with you everywhere you go.
Is it really? I don't see this ever being useful unless they have specific smartphone app flash sales or something.
It's optional, so no not really.You guys realize this means it's "always online".
Hopefully the Xbone will have a feature like this.
They are not considered in-app purchases as they don't route through the iTunes Store, so there's no "giving apple 30%".
The only 30% Sony will possibly be giving Apple would be the price of the <Insert Sony Store App here> App if it's not going to be free, and i guess it'll be free.
This playstation app people keep saying, isn't there already one??? I am sure I have an app on my iPhone already. Or is it going to be something else?
If they are gonna make games playable as they are being downloaded, there kinda is not need for this feature. In theory.

Can you also wake up your ps4 with a vita?
I have W8 phone, but could us less fortunate not just use the online web browser to buy games rather than an app?

This better work with my Win8 phone! *shakes fist*
I can almost do it now on PS3, where via the SEN store on my phone I can purchase an item and then queue it up on my downloads list for my PS3.
However it will only download the item once my PS3 turns on, either at night during it's PS+ update time or I believe right away if my PS3 is turned on at the time.
It's a good feature to have the ability to download right away even if the console is off.
As far as I know, Apple doesn't allow Apps linking to non App Store purchasing.
Me while outside : *Buys PS4 game on smartphone*
In a dark room with your PS4... (Power switch is off)
Sony triggers a hidden switch connected to the PS4.
PS4 turns on. The PS4's blue lights glow, it's fans the only noise in the room...
Sony : "Your owner just bought a game. You have been awoken to download it."
Your PS4 : "Order acknowledged. Downloading PS4 game now..."
...
*Download complete...*
PS4 shuts down itself. The room goes back to it's lonely state.
You can wake up your PS3 with a Vita so why not?
