Well sadly I still haven't had my games arrive for it so I have nothing to play but I have a good look at the stuff on there and I have mixed opinions.

The web browser seems better, that was important to me because I was forever using the one on PS3. I like the frequently used web pages and how you can search for something and it uses the google search engine.

A lot of other things seem more efficient and easier to use. It's a hell of a lot faster to do things. I also like how with the trophies it tells you what percentage of people have a certain trophy.

I like the controller, the PS3 one seems small in comparison.

It doesn't have a youtube app which was something I used on PS3 a lot also but isn't a huge deal because I just added youtube Tv to my bookmarks.

What I don't like however is something that I really hope will change, I knew about the no MP3 thing and that is a shame but I didn't know about the lack of MP4 aswell. I can't put films on a USB and just shove them on my PS3 to watch anymore and I always put a lot of stuff on my PS3 to watch.

Also there's no pictures like with PS3, you can't save pictures from the internet and them put them in folders and that was another thing that was useful for me.

Some people may say "Well don't you have a PC for that?" Well yes but I always used it for PS3 because it was like my own personal PC with all my music, pictures and films on it.

They may update this though and add those things, some high up guy at Sony said they were surprised how popular that was.

Also the other thing I don't dislike is that I can't game share in the same way I could on PS3 where me and a friend would exchange some things to save ourselves some money.

Which points out one of my biggest gripes with both the PS4 and Xbox One.  Both seem to have added a few features but they also gimped a lot of stuff that people used all the time on the previous gen.  I'm sure they will add the functions eventually but it really seems like a step back.  I use my PS3 and 360 waaaaay more than their successors these days.  Probably gonna fire up Arkham Origins on the PS3 and play that for the next few days.
