Xbox One can play CDs and is DLNA compatible

4.7
Sony released an extensive FAQ on the upcoming PlayStation 4 earlier this week and it showed that the next generation game console won't be able to play any CDs. The PS4 also won't support streaming content from a DLNA enabled device. These are features that are supported with Sony's current PS3 console.

Now the Penny Arcade Report has confirmed, via a Microsoft statement, that the company's Xbox One console will in fact play audio CDs and will be DLNA compatible. The story adds that the DLNA support for the console is still in the process of being certified. You may remember that Microsoft had previously confirmed that the Xbox One would not serve as a native Windows Media Center Extender, but the news that it will support DLNA does mean that the console will be able to stream content from other DLNA devices.

The PS4 FAQ also said that the console won't support the playback of MP3 files. Microsoft apparently won't allow Xbox One owners to import MP3 files directly to the console, but it will support streaming of music files from Play To devices like a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 PC.

Breading It's a shame ps4 can't do this
It really is. And I laugh at the fact they don't give an explanation as to why they aren't implementing this basic function/technology...

Dreams nobody uses cds anymore and anyone that buys a nex gen console most likely already has a ipod or phone to listen to music
I don't know 1 person who pays for their music through iTunes. It's easy enough to import your own music downloaded from a youtube to mp3 converter (which may I add is technically legal) and then import it in to your iTunes library and then to your iPhone/iPod.

dudeyd awkward moment when even though xbox users can play cds, ps4 users get our first year of digital music free and also we don't have to pay for Netflix due to the partnership sony have with them and oh..... thought id also include that you HAVE to have gold membership just to record your gameplay.

lol.





The Awkward momment when the xbox looks like a smart, Shiney, sleak bit of kit whereas the ps4 looks like a block of flats from the 1970s

that awkward moment when you realize what the console looks like has nothing to do with how the game performs; and you realize that the ps4 is more powerful in all ways as far as gaming goes.


This is for Xbox users if you don't like Xbox go to the PlaysSation or PC forums, stop hating, Xbox has way more to it and PS4 is not more powerful, Xbox can update anything through cloud, Microsoft makes computers they know what to put in a console, Sony makes tv's and cameras they dont know anything, now grow up you Sony fanboys


That awkward moment when this isn't even a forum but a news section. And even more awkward when Sont makes computing software so they do know something. And the fact that you said sony knows nothing is pretty stupid lol. And even more stupid is that you tell someone to grow oh and then proceed to call him a fanboy. Both consoles are superior in their own ways.


The awkward moment when all the xbox users do is spam the playstation news section


That awkward moment when a PlayStation fanboy is complaining in the xbox news about xbox fans who go into PlayStation news. Dumb hypocrite
Precisely. Do you really not have anything better to do?

People honestly grow the **** up. Spying on you with a camera which can be disable and contains a cache. You people are **** senseless. Do you know you can turn the Kinect OFF? I wouldn't be surprised if half of the people on here are 10 year olds.

You's go on like a bunch of retards.

xSTaTiCBLuEx Oh ****, can't play CD's on my PS4 which is meant for gaming oh **** - I don't give a ****...this is barely a blow for Sony. Use a computer to play your music instead of a **** games console christ. The xbox one has laods of useless features. PS4 for anyone that wants to game to be honest.


You're the only one who thinks it will change buyers' minds in the first place. This is information that everyone already knows, who are you clarifying for? The PlayStation 4 is a gaming console. Correct. What you clearly fail to realize is that the Xbox One isn't a gaming console. It's an all in one entertainment system. Features such as DLNA compatibility and CD playing are quite essential. Stop talking, ass.
