Well considering when I said, they should have a 4G version, people said just use your phone, apparently this is what people want.

Using your smartphone in that case would have been as turning on wifi hotspot. 

But having to use your phone to create game lobbies, invite your friends and chat with your friends or send mesages is just ridiculous.

In my opinion having to use a phone as a hot spot is just as ridiculous. I absolutly hate the way consoles and handhelds are treated. I don't want to have to have a PC or Smatphone to get the most out of my device. Don't tell me to go to my PC to link my console or handheld app to my account. Don't tell me if I want to make playlists or see my library I have to use my smartphone or PC. That kind of stuff is complete bs. I have consoles and handhekds, because I don't want a PC or Smartphone.

It blows me away that Sony and Nintendo ask me to leave their device to spend money or time on another companies hardware or ecosystem. That is terrible bussiness. If you are in the hardware and software business you should never be telling your costumers to look elsewhere because we don't offer this required operation on our device.
