PS4 requires Internet for DVD/Blu-ray Playback - console
(hx) 09:02 AM CEST - Oct,26 2013 - Post a comment / read (16)
In addition to a day one patch for the PS4, it seems you will have to connect your console to the internet so you can utilize DVD and Blu-ray playback.
When the PlayStation 4 launches in North America on November 15, some (but not all!) of its swanky new features will be available for use by the disheveled, exhausted consumers that spent all night waiting for their new console in a tent outside of Best Buy or wherever.

This news comes from the announcement of a day-one patch for the PlayStation 4, though it is unclear whether the patch is explicitly required to enable the features listed below. We do know, however, that "at first time use, users must connect to the internet" before Blu-ray and DVD playback will function, according to the press release.

Regardless, a launch-day PS4 will be capable of Remote Play through the PlayStation Vita, second screen experiences through PS Link and the PlayStation App on mobile, Twitch/Ustream streaming functionality and game DVR capabilities will all be available day-one. Users will also start out with the ability to play games as they download, use party chat, log-in using facial recognition via PlayStation Camera, navigate the home screen with voice commands, play games online and watch Blu-ray/DVD discs.

Other features, such as the PlayStation 4's low-power suspend/resume capabilities, will not be enabled on day one and will be added at a later date. Further information about which system functionalities will and won't be ready by launch day is coming "in the near future."

And slowly they start to tell the truth

Hehe, Sonys old tricks starting to come out :)

Garbage as I said since the start. Now where are all the whiners complaining about online checks? Where #1 fanboy?

Yep, no better than the crapbox it seems.
I did not need one, but I thought I would get one for the kids, seeing how it's less intrusive on the kids' privacy that the crapbox. And then this. Well, I did not need one, so it's not my loss.
It's nobody's business what my kids are watching and when.

Maybe once the firmware has been hacked 10fold, I'll consider it again.

the genius in this forum is amazing. buy a crap console that costs a lot, to run a pirate firmware on it so you can never use it online.

I laugh at pre-order folks. Enjoy your PureShit 4 box.

Csimbi(09:50 PM CEST - Oct,26 2013 )
Yeah, it's a good thing to wait out it seems. But crapbox is no better, so I guess it's a generation I'll skip and build them consoles from cheap PC parts instead.

Judging by your posting, you're all 12 year old pubbies who can't afford either anyway.

Csimbi(04:40 PM CET - Oct,27 2013 )
What does privacy concerns for your children have to do with age and financials?
I did not mention any concerns about the price, did I?

Tom(02:26 PM CET - Oct,28 2013 )
Where is that fucking joke Stumpus in to defend his shit console? Pfft. Exactly Mr. Techbuff, go fucking cry in your handkerchief and grab another bottle of geritol. Face it, like you, the PS4 sucks shit.

@El_Coyote, it's not about 'affording' it's about Sony which is shit and their PS4 which is total shit. Tune in man.

El_Coyote(04:09 PM CET - Oct,28 2013 )
Sure, they're just as shit as your posting.

Tom(06:03 PM CET - Oct,28 2013 )
Don't cry too hard pal.

First time use since when? One hour, one day, one week, one month ...? First time a specific disk is inserted, played, paused and unpaused, stopped and played again?
It's a humbug deal no matter how I look at it.

Tom(04:11 PM CET - Oct,29 2013 )
You keep believing that pal. I'll remember months down the line. Trust me. PS4 made for idiots.

Network down for several weeks.

Lost millions of customer details.

Lied about losing said details.

Used PSN to retroactively remove features from the console.

Terrible download speeds.

Still very much p2p based multiplayer.
