Copying and pasting far too long but looks like a really good FAQ detailing lots and lots of features.

very detailed and very informative, disappointed no way to play ps3 content would be good to even get minis etc. or psn titles but it is a brand new system, also disappointing that it doesn't play mp3
This seems to be kicking up a bit of a fuss on other forums.
Apparently you can't play mp3s or background music as you need a music unlimited sub, and there is also no DLNA. I don't think its such a big deal personally.
Also they mention only the 9.5mm hdd.
Also importing your fb pic might throw up some uninteresting profile pics as surely open to abuse
Not really as FB profiles are monitored? I hope the sony music unlimited can be played over everything, i have a membership and enjoy it, though not sure if i would pay full price for it so might not get it once it expires.
1) Will 'Home' be on the PS4? I don't use it myself personally but when I last looked at it on PS3 around April, it was still a beta after all these years!
2) How does your photo get on the PS4 as an avatar? In videos you always see that bint Sarah Greene with a photo of herself. Is it your Facebook profile photo or something?
3) Does the gamer bundle with the 2 pads, Killzone and camera include the clip for the camera? I saw a unboxing of the camera on IGN that came with a clip to sit it ontop of the TV but insure if it'll be included with the mega bundle.
4) Can PS3/PS4 players see what their friends are playing on the different console? E.G if I'm playing FIFA on PS4 and my friend is playing on the PS4, will they see I'm playing FIFA but on a different console so they don't send an invite?
Up to 8 in party chat. Is that good or bad? Sounds Ok to me
That'll be a nightmare if you have people constantly signing in & out every 2 seconds!
The way i read it, when it came to the HDD Drives was that it had to be no thicker than 9.5mm and at least 160GB.
I don't see why i 7200RPM drive wouldn't work.
Agreed plus a few more things I don't like the look of.
If the fan isn't designed to cool 7200RPM drives it could cause problems like it can in the PS3.
Remote play for 3g prob wouldn't work well. RRP for games is expensive but suppose retail will be cheaper. MP3 disappointing but no big loss. HDD thing again no real probs there although 7200pm would have been nice.
Would like confirmation about whether all launch titles are remote play compatible though.
It is bad enough trying to play MP over 3G let alone streaming a video and sending commands back and forth with the least lag possible!
£59.99 is first party only, pretty sure first party right now is £54.99 and they never sell for that much.
Third party are free to do what they want.
Even then, Knack is actually £49.99.
I don't think any first party has been £54.99 on the PS3? Last of us was only £40 on the store pre order. You only need look at the prices ATM to see they are more expensive than PS3 launch.
The point of 3G was it only seems to work over local WiFi, So what if I'm at a mates house with fibre? It sounds as if that also won't work as it's only local.

And you'd use his wi-fi.
Bad move Sony.
Can PS4 and PS3 users play together online, cross-platform?
The functionality is technically possible and some developers may choose to support it for their titles.
But really, CDs - this is a next-gen system!
