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.

Echleon I like how this site picks at sony but don't post the fact MS are thinking about selling xbox or the cod ghost pre-order lead on PS4.

Wtf are you talking about, you can really tell your a Sony fan boy... And MS are not thinking about selling Xbox where ever you saw that its a fake, but before you even say I am a Xbox fanboy your wrong I have had all the play stations and all the xboxs and I don't play my ps3 because I simply don't like it. I have like Xbox experience for a while. I think there both great consoles if you like ps better then Xbox then that's your opinion, in my eyes I like Xbox a lot better so. That's it...

nah its not fake you should read a new site. i hate PS3 and don't think of it at all i like xbox and I'm buying both the day they release. but so far if you read the PS news section they only post the bad stuff. its biased and i don't like it for either console.

gungray i love how PS4 are trying to become the more gaming focused console when they do not have the community to do so

Says who? there are a ton of PSN gamers. Plus they are winning in Pre-orders. have you ever even played PSN?

coDyDaTallGuy Everything they don't have will be added eventually. It's not like these things will never be shown on the console. Same goes for the Xbox, if something isn't on there they'll probably added it later. No big deal.

exactly thats what people dont understand they either want it now or think that just cuz it isnt there yet that it wont ever happen

It's mostly just the fanboys trying to poke fun at the other side. I find it quite amusing.
