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.

YhCHKN The PS4 is going downhill.
It's slowly turning into the old Xbox one, where they wouldn't let you use anything.
And that Sony, is why Microsoft are ahead of you.

The PS4 is still far ahead what the Xbox One used to be, and Microsoft are also really ahead of Sony also, the next generation consoles have not even been released yet.


each console is better in different ways you really cannot comapare the 2, each will be better at small little things that can't be judged


Personally, I wanted the all digital(drm) version of the xbox so imo they both have been going downhill.


They didn't really have a choice but to take the DRM away after the huge back lash that the console got by the community. I remember an opinion poll showed that 85% of people preferred the PS4 at one point
