          I thought next gen meant making things better not worse! Come on Sony your better then this.

            What a shame, they lost some of my respect that's for sure. Microsoft will probably do the same thing with their console too.

              The same thing will happen for the Xbox One. I hope both consoles will come out with a patch this year and allow custom music.

                So did XBOX One with their policies until people 'made noise'. The alternative of course, is to just complain to each other about it on these forums and do nothing.

                  It gets worse. PS4 doesn't play CD's, and doesn't stream videos from network servers.

                  Basically any access to non-gaming content must come from a service, online, or through Sony's subscriptions (50 bucks on top of the 50 dollar online charge). With exception to Blu-rays, I'll assume.

                  Say what you will about Microsoft, but this is nearly as draconian.

                  Except it's two weeks to release. Sony called attention to XBox One's 24-hour DRM and caused a ruckuss for Microsoft-- but hid their own bombshell until it was too late for anyone to do anything.

                  Well played, Sony, well played.

                    Neither will the Xbox One.





                    Thats why 2k removed the feature.

                      It will only require a firmware update based on what I've read. It's not too late for them to change it, even if it's not changed by release. Hell, for the purposes of custom soundtracks in games, we have plenty of time. Not like even if they do change it now, 2K will add that feature... Same is probably the case for MLB the Show, a game which is particularly hard for me to play without that feature.

                        I feel like the world is slowly trying to convince me to stop buying new video game consoles.

                          It'll come in a later update. .mp3 is a plugin it can be applied. That's a small update. This is not a big deal imo

                          if sony doesn't do it, some hacker will..and sony will succumb to satisfy the consumer so the hackers will stop

                            While sony's system doesn't support mp3 playback, i've read it does support 320 kbps aac playback so i think custom sound tracks for games could be possible.

                              Now thats a bigger deal. that sounds kinda like 360.

                              making noise is cancelling preorders. Which is what people won't do.

                              you can bitch all you want, but Corporations only respond to dollar signs.

                                Is that confirmed?

                                If so, it's a bad move on both companies parts. We already have multiple devices that play media, while they're trying to market theirs as all-in-one entertainment centers or at least XBox One is. What's an entertainment system that doesn't play your own media and is less capable than it's predecessor?

                                Compared to what people already have, this will just make the devices known for what they can't do.
