Who uses a $500 console as a $50 CD player? Don't you have a webphone?
No DLNA Support for PC Media Servers.
Wonder how long until Sony releases a firmware "upgrade" for the PS3 which removes MP3, CD support, DLNA, external drive support etc....
"The PS4 system does not support client functionality for media servers."
WTF! Currently I am using ps3 media server and it better work on PS4 or have some equivalent! I do not give a crap about DLNA. I am going to go out on a limb and interpret what they are saying as "not compatible with windows media center" which is fine.
Can't play audio cd's or mp3's..... well who uses audio cd's in their game console, so no big there. No mp3? Maybe that just means it won't play mp3 off of disc but can off of usb / streamed... again no big.
People, stop freaking out about the 4K statement. All it says is they are considering 4K output in the future for pictures and movies (aka firmware upgrade), but there will not be 4K output for games. The GPU's in these things cannot handle gaming at 4K anyway, lol.
Who else is scared by the sleep mode auto update BS? Call me silly but I want to know what my box is downloading.
LOL @ Sony,
No Media Center Support
No MP3 or CD playback
No 4K support
I'm sure they will sell millions anyway....

Lack of DLNA is huge for me. I stream movies all the time using my PS3 and my PC
well now you know why its cheaper
lol at the 5400rpm SATA II drive
guess they had to cut cost some where
I wonder if the lack of DNLA and MP3 support is to push their music and movie streaming service.
Real questions:
How big a HDD can you install? 4tb support?
Is it SATAIII?
Does the CPU/GPU throttle based on temp, AKA R9 290?
Is there room for water-blocks?
Will it support existing high-end flying/driving controls?
What kind of gun support, if any?
Voice activation libraries for developers? The PS3 Voice Req sucks hard.
How many inputs for Rock Star? Will it use the camera?
Can users switch the light bar off and on?
No. The light bar also serves as an indication of whether the DUALSHOCK 4 controller is turned on. Across different games, the color and brightness of the light bar on the DUALSHOCK 4 controller can be adjusted by game developers, but it cannot be completely switched off.
PS3 Media Server works through DLNA so yes you do care. Windows Media Center is an entirely different thing that even Microsoft is not supporting in the One.
Maybe someone who connected their $500 console to a $1000 dollar sound system? Is this a new thing to you, or are you just amazed at the output wattage of a cell phone speaker?
It seems strange that it can not play audio cds or MP3s. I can not remember the last time I used a CD to listen to music, but I have a hard time believing that it can not play MP3s. This is not a big deal since I am not planning on purchasing either one. I have always mainly used my PS3 as a BluRay player because when I bought it, it was close to the same price as a stand alone player.
Seems silly to exclude such an easy to include feature that has been standard on most devices for many years now.
Licensing fees. Which is why it has those activations for those features. If the machine doesn't ship with it out of the box they don't have to pay for it.
They want to make more money this time around after how PS3 turned out. This should allow them to be more competitive.
