You could even use the PS3 to browse your holiday snaps on the biggest and best screen in the house. With the PS4, you basically have the choice of playing games, downloading content from PSN, or streaming content from Netflix or Hulu — and that’s it. In a nutshell if you want to use it as a multimedia device as well as a gaming device,well you can't.It has 2 3.0 usb ports in front and 2 in back and any usb stick you use in them it won't read.
PS4 now only allows you to play content that is approved by Sony. You can play games, you can purchase TV/movies/music from the PlayStation store, and you can stream Netflix and other premium services. If you want to watch a TV show, movie, MP3, or family photo album that you’ve acquired through non-Sony channels you cannot do so on your PS4.Its all to stop piracy but maybe in a future update it might change.And then there is this new share idea where you can basically allow big brother into your sitting room thru ustream and people can comment on you.From what I watched already there is already inappropriate language and nudity going on,how Sony is going to regulate this I don't know .Launch day games were crap good things were new controller is awesome,graphics a bit better than ps3,but machine itself looks cool.For price of it I expected a lot better plus 500gb didn't last
long As 90gb just disappeared when starting up machine.
I won't be in too much of a hurry anyway to get the ps4 as I said ps3 still has life left in it well for me it do anyway. And always when the console is released there is only a handful of games out and none of them have caught my eye yet to make me buy it lol

Enjoy it anyway dude but from what you described it sounds fairly shit as I always stick a USB stick into my ps3 and watch movies I downloaded on it but I won't be able to do it on this WTF

Is online still free? I heard you have to pay now or is that just a rumour? I don't play online anyway I'm just curious
