I'm presuming the problem you have with my post is that it sounds like I'm putting that before gaming. Not so. If its a GAMING console then yeah, the first thing that should work are the games. Afterwards though, something as simple as music/video playback file-types should be REALLY EASY to make work, and thus the very next thing you should be doing.

I don't care much for the service either but it's the principle of it and it's wrong IMO.
Edit: you want people to use your service, offer incentives but don't pull this shit

I agree they can do it. Their firmware team is just out of touch with the rest of the world.

Well, shit!
The wording in this FAQ is actually a bit better than what they said previously. Here they're saying 'across games'. So maybe it will work for the current game, ala Vita.
Though it's not explicit that it will work across transitions in and out of the low power state, which is another question mark their previous comment raised.
I think a lot of it has to do with having a giant backlog to get through still along with not being excited by the launch titles.
But on principle, I don't like rewarding things like this.

I'm sure it'll be suspended when not in focus. We need to get Boyes on the line. Or tell Mort to tell Sony to read through this thread.

Who in the hell wants to spam his personal Facebook page with videos that non gamers contacts don't care.
Can users copy the recorded gameplay video from PS4 to other devices, such as PC?
PS4 users will not be able to directly copy recorded gameplay video files from PS4 to other devices, though they will be able to use the DUALSHOCK 4 controllers Share button to upload videos to Facebook for distribution. This function will be supported by a future system update.
Hope that means they will allow in the future.
And what about image export?? Like PSVita.

I know it's been said to death, but no DNLA is absolutely bullshit.
So the XB1 doesn't support DNLA either?

External drives have more storage. This is FAR more important than any useless media features like music streaming.

People don't buy new consoles for MP3 support. You guys are overblowing this.
Moreover, Sony can add this feature later. They have bigger fish to fry right now.

For people who capture footage for YT channels and such, I found these all very interesting.
So in order to use the gameplay captured with the PS4 capture feature you have to upload to Facebook then rip it from there...
Also no external HDMI capture at launch really sucks.

The game OS and runtime environment has been under constant development so when is 'after'?It's not like the 'game console' side of the software was finished for months.
Better to put your resources into that than into other things and come up short on the game runtime environment...
(That said, yes, MP3 support would be a basic thing, but this sounds like a business decision to push MU subs. Which sucks. But it can change)
Codec support for this stuff is likely already there for game developers to use since some games will kind of need to playback audio and video files. They may use different formats of course, but swapping the specific codec used isn't as difficult as the infrastructure around it.
Sony just didn't implement it on the OS level for the end-user.

I just read on reddit you will be able to use voice commands without the playstation eye using the mic and the controller.

iTunes match is $25 and gives you ad-free iTunes radio. So that'd be my top-dollar.

Seems like Sony don't think running these giant PS4 games from an external hard drive across a USB connection is a good idea.

Because they aren't. I appreciate the honesty but evidently a really simple No to something like DLNA support or MP3 playback still leads people to think they plan on supporting it in the future. Even though they just said No.

Well there are lots of WTF aspects here, actually. No MP3? No themes? Etc...
I'm pretty sure / hope that many features will be improved / added with future firmware updates though. PSP, PS3 and Vita all started with poor system software too, after all.

You can still use your PS3 for this, right? No other devices that handle media? If no for both, then that's shitty yeah, I feel for you man.
If Plex are allowed on the PS4, I'm sure they would be there, they are quite aggressive in their client ports with clients on Samsung SmartTV platforms (TVs etc), LG, iOS, Android, Win8, a bunch of NAS boxes and web.
Even though USB 3 isn't slower than SATA 2

It looks like they're ceding that market to the Rokus and AppleTVs. Strange.

I wouldn't trust it either.
I remember people did that before DLNA was supported on PS3, so yeah, you'd think it should be possible. If your PC side software supports that, exposing your library through a local network web interface.

One look at the Japanese launch told me that for the PS4. We're being used as guinea pigs and free money because BLACK FRIDAY and Christmas sales are too good for Sony/MS to pass up.
