I'm wondering that too. Perhaps they're going to sell them publicly. That would be awesome. It would be expensive, but anyone could develop for the PS4 then.
I think this might be the most interesting tidbit about these devkits... why are they getting FCC approval?
And here is the picture of the devkit itself, it can also briefly be seen in the QuanticDream office visit video somebody made few months ago.
They have to sell them to someone right? Even big publishers. They'd have to sell them... wouldn't they?
I really hope the 5.0 is supported as the 2.4 sucks ass since everyone and everything messes with it.
Yeah me either, that's why I was curious. As far as I know, before, kits are never really sold to devs; maybe leant out for an indefinite period of time, but always the property of Sony...Right, but they have been selling early dev kits already to publishers and none of those showed up in the FCC.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't ever recall seeing an FCC filing for any other console devkit.
As long as whatever we get for the p4 is better than the p3 is I don't care, I just hate being dced from psn when all of my other wireless devices don't get dced.I don't think it will be sadly. It would require dual antennas/radios, if my understanding is correct. That would be a significant extra cost.
At least if you have a dual mode router, your devices that support 5Ghz won't be crowding your 2.4Ghz space, but... yeah.

No it don't look better than the one, try again.
Who cares about wireless N. I want wireless AC!
I'd be shocked if the final retail PS4 didn't support 5GHz wifi, it's pretty much standard for any 'premium' wireless device these days. Plus wouldn't the PS4 need two antennae to stay connected to the internet whilst streaming to the vita?
I wonder if the dev kits are that large because they need to be, or simply because they can be. For example, are they mostly empty inside for cooling or are they filled with hardware and that's the smallest they can make it.
Well like I said - and I could be wrong - but having both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz antennas/radios in there is a big extra cost. You need 2.4Ghz for compatibility with B and G, so... yeah.boredandlazy said:I'd be shocked if the final retail PS4 didn't support 5GHz wifi, it's pretty much standard for any 'premium' wireless device these days.

And to the Vita streaming question, I think it'll be like current Remote Play, which means that the PS4 will need to have a wired ethernet connection in order to use the Wifi for streaming. unless there is something clever going on where it can route that stuff in a special mode.
