I can't put much stock in a story that's reported by one outlet that I've never heard of before.

I told you this would happen, like, days ago.
Kagari confirmed both DLNA and MP3 are coming in a future update, there is your source.

Unless we get an actual confirmation, do you mind changing the thread title to better reflect it? It seems some people came in here expect things were confirmed, because the title doesn't reflect that it's a rumor from an unknown source...
Unless... you happen to know otherwise...?
Maybe it just wasnt ready? Wanted to test peoples reaction on purpose? See if they could get away with it without people caring? I guess we will never know.
Its definitely weird to have not included those features , specifically MP3 and DLNA

I had a second confirmation last night so it'll come. It's just a shame they got Music Unlimited up first, but the appropriate backlash has at least gotten a couple of responses out of them rather than flat out ignoring it like they used to.
For both, actually [MP3+DLNA]. I wouldn't be shocked to see some priorities get shuffled because of this.
Why are people still doubting? Maybe this thread has finally run its course.
No, that's a good point. Updated.

Sounds like a seasoned, professional journalist.

I read that as Cockjockeyz rumour...
the bolded is interesting, i've been wondering if it's a common practice. any marketing/advertising gaffers wanna chime in?
My tuppence? I reckon both (certainly DLNA) were on the FW roadmap but when wasn't confirmed, and Sony's PR took the decision that rather than say 'Yes it's coming' they'd actually be honest about what PS4 can and can't do on Day1,
Can someone link the Kagari/Bish posts? I'm on mobile and can't seem to find them. Sorry for the trouble.
I know you had some info, I just was not sure if you where verified .......... if you have info to share then please do, it is appreciated.

Crazy, why the hell wouldn't they just tweet this then?I talked to developer working on the PS4 right after hearing about this. He made a few calls and came back to let me know DLNA missed 1.5 FW cert, but was coming,
I wonder who will implement streaming first: Sony or the guys who made PS3 media server?
More like PlayStation 180.
We already know it is called the blurstation 4PlayStation 1080.
My concern is, why wouldn't they just simply say it then? "We will offer the same or better media functionality including MP3 and DLNA support but not at launch, it will be offered in a firmware update in the near future".
That would put all this to rest.
Companies like this sort of commentary, it costs them nothing up front, god knows both Sony and Microsoft have been guilty of this sort of 'in the future' commentary yet on DLNA and MP3 both have been very quiet.
Color me skeptical if either company plan on supporting media outside of their 'services' in the near future. Which is terrible as seriously limits many people's interest in their boxes, myself included.
rawd said:If they came out and said, 'We wanted to make sure we had a rock solid firmware first for launch, and these features are coming later' .. I would have totally been okay with that. (if that was the truth, of course)
As in what? A random retail-focussed sales rep? Or an official PR Manager?Sony rep
They've never been in the habit of sharing much of the roadmap for future firmware updates, until the updates are basically ready to release and set in stone.Crazy, why the hell wouldn't they just tweet this then?
They'll tweet useless shit but not something like this.
Get as many people to sign up to music unlimited as possible before announcing DLNA and MP3 playback. I still think they will gimp local MP3 playback by not allowing playlists and such in the player forcing people to either get a MU subscription if they want that or use DLNA which is not really for the faint of heart.Crazy, why the hell wouldn't they just tweet this then?

I suspect that is the case. That said, companies typically aren't forthcoming with future update details.If they came out and said, 'We wanted to make sure we had a rock solid firmware first for launch, and these features are coming later' .. I would have totally been okay with that. (if that was the truth, of course)
If some random website posts a rumor that is good news for PS4, obviously it's truthfact..should put rumour up there and don't assume just yet without proper confirmation.
I don't think this scenario you list would be true, some of Sony's TVs and Bluray players play mkvs.The music & picture divisions strong-arming Playstation into not allowing DLNA streaming (and this goes for mkv playback as well - NO ONE uses mkv containers for commercial releases) or MP3 playback for piracy/commercial reasons respectively.
