PS4 doesn't support 3D Blu-Ray discs
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.

Its not THAT bad. I mean, it still supports blue-ray, just not 3d blue-ray. And i bet they're going to add it in like the first 3 months.

CMR What a strange feature, or non existent feature, indeed. I wonder if it's something they can do through a software update or if they'll need to change the disk drive in future models.
More than likely disc drive, unless it is hidden in there somewhere there just not implementing it
