GAF can make this happen. Someone should do a design sketch and forward it to Sony.
But as a whole the UI seems pretty solid for a first draft. Sony should keep building and improving on it though.

it's complicated.
Is there a thread on it?
by loading faster I mean you won't have to load into a seperate store app. It's right there on the front page of the UI. I think it's pretty safe to say that getting to it will be much easier.
My claim that it looks like the current download list is based on some posts here on GAF from the Sony event where someone said exactly that. I'll go find the link.
UPDATE: Here it is Oh wait you responded to that link in the GAF thread yesterday so you must be talking about the loading thing.

"This model of the PS4 system is designed to play PlayStation®4 format software."
This model...as opposed to all the other models that play other types of software? Believe.

A tie or bow tie is a valid compromise as well.

Gotta love the english to swedish translation for Party (the party chat)
English -- Party
Swedish -- Fest (means party like a party with drinks or cake or something)

I plan on keeping my PS3 hooked up to my TV anyways (tons of PS+ games, PSN bought games, and a backlog that will occupy me till PS5 comes out) but I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of BR 3D support. Looks as if Ill be using the PS3 for that also for a wee bit longer.
My only issue now is figuring out how I fit 2 consoles on my minimalist TV stand/cabinet...

i think the blue would be too distracting, especially with the lights off.
Antonio is displeased.
That should go up on the Knowledge Center soon. There's already a (barren) PS4 category up and it has an empty HDD sub-category. Just a matter of time before they make the info public.

Cool. I'm just getting paranoid that I'm going to break my PS4 before I even power it on. :lol

LOL, Am I the only one that will probably never use almost any of these features? I actually use my consoles like if they still were an 8-bit NES. (see also: no gaming friends)

No MP4/AVI/MKV support?
No BR3D support?
Are you daft Sony? Why take away these features? I get that you want us to use Video Unlimited like you are Apple but uuuuuuuugh
Time to build a HTPC for my parents or keep the PS3 plugged in.
Everything else seems nice though, screens etc
Webbrowser seems decent. Nice new trophy features.

I'm still a little miffed that the PS4 won't support the PS3's Bluetooth remote, and that Sony don't seem to have a PS4 version in the works :-(
I DON'T want to have to use the DS4 to control blu-ray/DVD playback!

I thought there was a microphone built in to the controller? Why does it require the headset or camera?

Theres a speaker on the DS4, not a mic
HDD stuff will end up getting posted on the Knowledge Center. The categories are already up, so we just have to wait for them to make the articles public.
Wait so no volume rocker? I expected it to have some sort of volume control. Guess we'll do it via system settings. :/

Looks like bluetooth headsets are supported?
great, but i thought they weren´t supported.
I'm hoping and expecting to be able to use he PS app on my phone/tablet to control media playback. Much like the XBMC or Yatse remotes for my htpc.
With Bravia Sync it would be possible to use the TV remote via HDMI control. So in theory it could work - but I have no idea whether it is supported similar to PS3 in PS4.
It sucks that there is no new official proper remote control. I bought my first BD Remote with my original launch PS3 and I used it all the way up to replacing it with the new Japanese model some years back.
Hopefully PS app, or sony's side view app which can control some of their bluray players and TVs

Surely the mic would have been more useful than a speaker!
Also has this already been discussed?

First XB1 and now PS4! WTF!?

Apparently you can tilt the controller to input text lol. But I don't see any option to input text with the touchpad.
They've spoken about adding that in later.

The blue is a lie?!

The Power indicator is not the LED bar. That bar will always light blue (I believe).

Oh. Thx guys, crisis averted. *phew*
Sorry, I read just Blu-Ray in your post and not the 3D part. You are right. As of now 3D Blu-Ray is not supported. I do not know if it is something they can patch in in the future.
but the 'B' in the diagram is pointing to the bar.
I think the manual is just plain wrong on this, I've seen the white light but only on dummy units around the time of E3. The one in the Francis unboxing powers on blue, and pulses on start up.
Edit: Actually perhaps it boots up in blue then turns white when its ready...that seems a bit anti-climatic though. Should be the other way round.
This is how you replace a hard drive in your PS4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp2CgTmUqbw
