Title: PlayStation: from 1 to 4
Post by: Nerroth on October 23, 2013, 01:07:31 AM: The PlayStation 4 is about a month away (in North America and Europe; Japan will have to wait until next February), but Sony decided to use one of their promo ads to chart the history of the PlayStation brand in console form:

#4ThePlayers since 1995 | PlayStation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39pK2MV_sfs#)

Note the changes to the London skyline from one generation to he next.

(Not so) fun facts: the PS4 cannot (or will not) play audio CDs, and nor does it play MP3s either.

How is it supposed to act as a media hub for a PS Vita (or Vita TV), if it can't even play the audio files you need to have in order to transfer over?

Well, presumably you download the audio files at a ridiculous price from Sony in a proprietory format. It's not like Sony don't have history with regards to really shitty DRM....
