  • Suspend/Resume mode
  • Wireless Stereo Headsets support
  • Wireless Stereo Headset
  • Pulse Wired Stereo Headset
  • Pulse Wireless Stereo Headset Elite Edition


Shame :-/ all those were pretty important, hope they will add them soon.

What is the first feature, though? First time I hear about it I think.

Back in the feb conference they showed off allowing a friend to take over a part of the game for you when you'd like, I remember. I guess it's not ready for whatever reason.

Will PS4 support media servers or DLNA support in order to stream videos or movies from a home PC?

The PS4 system does not support client functionality for media servers.

 

Not loving this, I hope they add it eventually.

A online friend take controller of your game... so it can play this part for you... it is the the Remote Play while you are playing the game on your PS4.

Facebook is enough, and we're definitely not getting it this year. Nobody here even knows (Sony hasn't told them). I suppose mid 2014 wouldn't be surprising. But it's not like I would buy it from Icelandic stores anyway, I would just import.


Thats good then. Atleast you have that option. :D/

5400 rpm again, anyone thinking load times will be shorter this gen is deluding themselves.
Swapping to a SSD or 7200 rpm hybrid drive should be a good investment.
