Nothing new on MP3 and CD playback yet, just that it's coming at a later date. Shu said that it was one of the features pushed back in priority for the launch because their primary focus was on the gaming features. He didn't think there would be a huge backlash for delaying it.

Hows the PS4 web browser ? Same as the PS3 ? (ie limitations, like flash etc) or is it better ?

I asked this awhile back but don't remember if it was ever answered ?

It doesn't support flash. No plans to support it.

Ok....so Im guessing it's pretty much the same/identical to the PS3 web browser.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Sony has already said that they won't give you free access to games you already own on disk or digitally/PSN through this new service.

So if I want to play Final Fantasy X on my PS4 I need to go out and buy it on PS2 first? Same with The Last of Us and so on and so forth.

That kinda defeats the purpose of this whole thing in my opinion. Its essentially making the system backward compatible for a possible monthly fee.

Maybe others feel differently, but if they are charging a monthly fee I might as well buy a PS2 for $45 and just play PS2 games on that.

Or am I way off here. Am I missing something?

no need to buy previous versions from my understanding

I envision a streaming-game service that is structured similarly to Netflix.

You don't have to buy it for ps2 either to play it. I don't think playstation now works by reading discs you own or will own. You pay them either by title or subscription and you can access those games on your ps4/vita through playstation now.

Since gaikai was announced, I fully expected to have to pay an additional subscription to use the service much like music unlimited. I don't see how paying a monthly subscription defeats the whole purpose of backwards compatibility. I believe that was the entire purpose when they partnered up with gaikai

If you want to play FFX (if it is ever available) you'll do it all via Playstation Now, be it a rental or purchase or available as part of some subscription.

This is not backward compatibility in any form, it is a service that will offer old games to you for $ on a number of platforms.

I envision this for the next generation of gaming as consoles will be obsolete all together

I wonder how much of the world has the 5mb/s recommended connection for PS Now.

Our internet infrastructure needs a face-lift then.
