Guy... I think you are wrong :) I think some things aren't modified, e.g. the file-system. This is also not an easy task, they will use something usual. And hopefully ntfs-support built in :) And I think they will also use some existing drivers, like for USB. But performance-crucial parts are of course manually crafted.

Still, I want a shell on a ps4! :) But yes, we won't notice it's a bsd. MS will do the same with their win8-kernel.

Sony uses a custom filesystem on PS3 and will use again in PS4... and it will be based in some light filesystem for BSD or other (or maybe based in FAT32 again)... NTFS is slow even when compared with FAT32 and no console needs all the options attached to NTFS.

You won't see a shell in PS4 lol

And I agree common drives will be the same... like USB, Wireless, etc.


Any details on the filesystem? I don't think it's their very own filesystem, still. And they don't need to use ntfs as their filesystem, they just should support it so that people can hook up their ntfs-usb-devices :) And who knows, if PS4 gets hacked, I will also get my shell
