Re: Wiil USB Music Player allow for the return of SOTH?

Saw this just now. I think there is promise for MP3 on PS4 HDD in the near future . Here is Sony's take as to why they pushed out the USB Player instead of MP3 copy to HDD. Goes back to my earlier take that they needed to just get something in place for MP3 in time for the 2.0 release.

At first when I read this, I was still ticked thinking Sony just wants to keep the community paying for Music/Video Unlimited and who knows when will get music & video on the HDD so that they can make a buck.

Now I think we should be in good shape as they mention the demand for it in the article and if they have already given us the ability to play our own music then it shows they are somewhat ready to concede the Music/Video Unlimited-only route. Because why would you pay for music with Music Unlimited now, when you can play your own music through the USB Player....

Just a thought...

"We had to consider development load. It would have delayed the release of this feature."


It's been almost a year since the PS4 was released, and at least 6 months since they started promising mp3 functionality.


I simply do not buy that it takes 6+ months to implement basic mp3 playback and storage. That's crazy talk. Either Sony is incompetent or stubborn.

Or they had other fish to fry first.

That just seems very naive to me. This is not really a "fish" to fry. More like a very small insignificant popcorn shrimp to fry. You can create an entire game from scratch in a year, with a small development team, but Sony, with all their resources, can't add a basic file support/functionality to the OS of the PS4, a system that has brought in like half a billion in sales so far? A system that is basically a computer? How long do you think it took Microsoft to put mp3 functionality into Windows 8?
