I think it's IMPOSSIBLE that background music will be behind a paywall, it's such a basic feature But if it's true i'll gladly take your preoder
ya, weird YouTube isn't in there being YouTube is the default service on PS3.
Hopefully that means they added Facebook for video uploads and that YouTube already exists.

Very good to know...So looks like a update before anything.
vita custom soundtracks works differently than on ps3. ps3 required developers to support it. it's a basic feature on vita. i would seriously not worry until they say one way or the other. it would make no sense to not let you use your own music when you can do it on vita and xbox one.

Gaming consoles have to do a list of 20 things related to various media to be cool so that's how we're going to design the damn thing now.
I would hope so LOL
Every console has an update at launch. Y'all acting brand new and having an outrage tho.
Just curious, do people actually use background players on their consoles? There was a time when I streamed some podcasts to my xbox, but I've never installed anything to the harddrive or really dabbled into that too much.
Also, if I did want to play music/podcasts nowadays, I have a phone that is more than capable of streaming that stuff right next to me.

Twitch app would be in the store, not a firmware update.
It requires more than 210 3.5" floppy disks, that huge.
Wait....how can people be surprised about that??? The consoles have been in manufacturing since august... Of course the OS was not ready 100% at that point. Both consoles will need all the time available to get the OS finalized. That's just normal.
It's the exact same reason we have day 1 patches on games nowadays. They have to cert and manufacture the games at least a month in advance, that leaves them time to iron out the last couple of issues before release.

I was looking forward to blast my Rocky IV soundtrack through my speakers while playing NFS Rivals on my PS4.

Yeah the outrage before it's even confirmed is funny.
Is there a twitch app? I have no idea - that's why I'm asking...

Pretty neat feature, really cool.
But everyone here is acting like they never seen a Day 1 update for anything they ever purchased.
I feel like moving media onto the box is last gen thinking. You should be able to just find your media server on your network and stream that way. It was done well on 360 because the firmware had the APIs to mute the music soundtrack automatically. That's a better solution assuming you can stream over network.

Exactly. I think it's just bad wording. They want to promote Music Unlimited of course, but the PR made it sound like it is exclusive to Music Unlimited.
Even the Vita let's you hear your own mp3s ffs.

Well, here comes the Sony bad news. I had a feeling this was too beautiful to be true.
But 300MB isn't much, if their servers are ok and that's a big if, then it shouldn't take me more than 5 minutes.
And if i understand right, no custom soundtracks in 2013 ? This is ridiculous ! I don't care about Music Unlimited and never will so no custom soundtracks is a major letdown to me.
Does Microsoft have a patent on custom soundtracks or it's Sony who suck so much at software ? or both ?
And no suspend... wow, ok then i should be patient in this transition to next-gen...

Just like the pre-drm outrage? If you dont want something speak.
Wish I could tell you. Twitch integration for streaming makes me think there would be one, but I don't know.
IMO, I think they badly worded that part of the "update". I think they wanted to say that Music Unlimited was native to the OS and could be used for streaming music in the background. But that using your own music would work as well.

Hacks can even be done via games (see Wii + PSP), I know others could still exist just saying they maybe want to hide something they found in 1.0

Pre-drm was rumored, nothing has been suggested or rumored in this case.

It sucks that people without internet will not be able to watch DVDs or Blu-rays. Maybe Sony should consider having DVDs pre-installed with firmware 1.5 for those individuals that can be requested?
Announced features always slip from the console launches, both will happen this time with PS4 [suspend/resume] and Xbone [external storage support].
Im getting my PS4 in mid december, by then there will be few minor fixes for both consoles.
Firmwares were included with PS3 game blurays.

Did PS3 and Xbox 360 have a day 1 patch? If they did, it's just something you have to deal with these days.
It's 300MB. I know, not exactly huge by any stretch of the imagination, but are you confident that you'll be able to quickly download the update on launch day? Are you confident that it'll go smoothly without a hitch? Previous experience suggests not, but we'll see I guess.

Dude, calm the fuck down and wait for confirmation.
PS3 lets you do it in some game (developer need to take that into consideration).
Vita lets you do it in a OS level.
Why would PS4 background music player be locked behind a paywall when almost everything is not?
Can't remember but anyway I wouldn't consider the 360/PS3 launch as "these days" anyway. Lots of stuff changed since.

no sleep mode at launch ?
I'm not too surprised about the updates, they manufacture these machines long before their software is ready these days.
But some of the updates that are either coming or aren't there at all worry me about what the system is actually going to do, one if the big things for me was suspend/low power mode for when I suddenly have to go do something else, I'm really shocked that isn't there day 1.
Considering the mess they made with the XMB for the PS3 over the years I really hope Sony have sorted out their software team this time.

You just made me feel really old.
Because the software wasn't ready the day the PS4s were manufactured and packaged. If it was, it would have just been loaded onto the consoles themselves.
This gives the OS team the time between the consoles needing finished software to ship with, and the official consumer launch day to work on the software.
