[PS4] Official PlayStation 4 Thread

[KNUBB]

I can't imagine that will be the case for long. The hardware supports it, they will just have to make a firmware update to make it work (again).

Confirmed for the 2nd update

http://couchjockeyz.com/mp3-support-dlna-and-more-features-to-follow-on-2nd-ps4-update/

Though there have been a few missteps on Sony’s behalf from the recent FAQ post riddled with mistakes of no MP3 support, No DLNA support, and a few other features that are not available at launch. We were able to speak to a Sony rep today about if any of these features could be implemented in the near future and much to our surprise we have received a “Yes“. The future update that is in process to be rolled out shortly after the PS4′s launch(November 15th) will include the following detailed features listed below:

Legacy headset support
Mp3 support for not only in-game but non gaming as well.
Suspend and resume play feature

All of these features are set to hit PS4′s consoles by late 2013- to early 2014. Which we hope Sony will deliver sooner upon. From what we know these features are being packed in the 2nd forth coming PS4 firmware update. Also these details were hinted today when Shuhei Yoshida made a post on twitter stating that he had a discussion with other PlayStation 4 development team members about received feedback. With this news being provided Those these features are a definite step in the right direction. We were still unable to confirm future external hard drive support for media or game data would be supported later on. lastly we’re still waiting to hear if there will be future YouTube support for video sharing. What do you think of this good news do you think Sony still needs more features to claim the living room in this next gen console war? comment below let us know.

Good to hear about it being patched soon.

Just read this article on Yahoo. Good to see they are already patching in mp3 support and a couple other things. I was quite pissed to read this in the article. I thought; So mp3 may be an older format....who fucking cares....it's a mainstay many use, stop trying to promote your agendas!! Glad they changed their minds.

One thing that is very positive for this cycle of next gen consoles is that both Sony and MS are willing to change their plans quickly based on feedback from the gaming community. The consoles we are getting in the next few weeks both will be operating a lot differently than originally announced a few months ago.

That blue light on the console is so sexy.

Got my 1TB HDD all set to switch in, will pick up NBA2k14 from Best Buy after work next Friday and hopefully, the system will be delivered on launch day (from Amazon).

Care to share some linkage to the TB you got?

I got this one (over others, mainly b/c it comes with an enclosure I'll use to put the stock ps4 HDD in)

Not trying to be all contrary Empire, but why is it such a big deal to spend whatever on an upgrade from 500GB to 1TB so quickly? I buy if it's from 500GB to an SSD or something huge, but only 2x bigger? Again, I am not necessarily trying to be negative here, but it seems kind of unnecessary.

Figure I'll be doing this somewhere along the road -- especially as I intend to go digital w/ everything other than sports games -- so get it out of the way now.

Perhaps compatible laptop hdd's bigger than 2GB will become an option in a year or two or maybe SSDs will be useful (and cheaper) in the same timespan, we'll see.

I'm really interested in seeing whether a SSD will be a worthwhile upgrade for the PS4. There are only a handful of games for PS3 that actually see a discernible difference with one installed.

IMO, you're better off forgetting about that immediate upgrade to 1TB and waiting to see if the PS4 offers firmware for something bigger or an upgrade to SSD. A simple upgrade from 500GB to 1TB is simply not worth it, IMO. Much bigger fish to fry than that, IMO.

The way I see it. The difference is much bigger than you're making it out to be. Biggest out right now is 1.5TB. An extra 500GB is a shitload of games be it retail or little ones. That shit will fill up especially with PS+. Getting games every month. PS+ filled up my 500GB on my PS3 to the brim.

I don't deny it, Knubb. I'm not the gamer you or Twigg are. I don't pretend to understand the difference between 500GB and 1TB on the PS3 or PS4. Hell, I won't own a PS4 or Xbox One at launch.

Trust me getting that upgraded HDD in the sooner the better. Cuz once you start getting games on it the harder it will be to move everything over once you decide to upgrade. Had a 250GB pretty much full as well and that was an all day experience to backup and transfer everything. I hope it isn't nearly as slow on the PS4, but do it if you can. If I wasn't buying damn near every launch title coming I would probably have a terabyte HDD ready to upgrade on day one.

Under 10 days doe! :runaway:

Empire, I'm in the same boat as you from Amazon. Says delivered on 15 Nov. What are your thoughts/rumors heard on these actually being delivered on the date, not just shipped?
