PS4 doesn't support 3D Blu-Ray discs

4.5
PlayStation 4 will not support 3D Blu-Ray discs at launch.

CDs and some re-writeable 2D Blu-Ray discs are also unsupported at launch, according to the PS4 user manual, which has been published online.

Other Blu-Ray discs and DVDs are supported, in addition to hybrid discs, AVCHD and CPRM.

The lack of 3D Blu-Ray support is somewhat strange given that 3D Blu-Rays are supported on PS3 and Sony has been a major proponent of the technology and format.

SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said on Tuesday that Sony will "eventually" add MP3, music CD and DLNA server support to PS4.

"The biggest surprise for us all internally at Sony was; there were so many people who passionately reacted to our announcement that there's no MP3 support and DLNA support on day one," he said.

"We didn't really think about MP3 or DLNA. We always thought that we're going to do that eventually - we've been doing it with all the [PlayStation] products. So it caught us off guard. People don't really talk about these features but when we say we don't have it some people get really mad and [say], 'I cancelled the pre-order'."

The PS4 release date is this Friday, November 15 in US, and November 29 in Europe and Latin America.

Caszech This is kinda a let down, but I'll get over it quickly.


Well not many people have 3d tv's anyway :/


I could see a few more people getting them over the coming years though. I personally don't see this as an issue myself.


It doesn't take a 3D TV to be able to watch a 3D movie.
All you have to do is wear those Blue and Red glasses.
