Forgive me for my ignorance about DLNA, but why is it so good? Doesn't streaming result in horrendous picture quality? Isn't it simply a far better option to have a dedicated media player hooked up to the TV and play files directly?

This gen seems to be more about removing features instead of adding them.

This is fucking goofy. I love putting my own songs in wrasslin/nhl games, makes it a better experience. I'm not about to riot but yeah, fucking goofy. I will however be bothered if Sony doesn't allow mp4/mkv/avi/ect video playback.
Sure I love the fact that the ps4 is gaming first - it is why I'm choosing Sony over MS as my main for the first time in two gens- but hell man, losing last gen operating features isn't exactly a plus in my mind.

If Sony didn't have a HUGE Music division, I'm sure this issue wouldn't have happened.
but I think THIS is where Sony wants to FINALLY make up for years of lost money from *illegal music* downloads/copies. Make it of the potential of millions of PS4 owners.
I personally think they will patch this..but they were probably like... >_< lets give it a try.... lol.

Whelp they had to get something wrong. Given some of the stuff PS4 don't Vita does I assume this will probably come later and it does indicate that despite rosy appearances Sony might be having their own "ready to launch" SO challenges too - or else they've gone damn odd on media access and playback since PS3 and even the Vita.

Yeah, it is stupid.
But I never listened to music on a game console.

Wow.
I use my PS3 as a media center... video, audio, the works. I guess that's all out the window, now? Maybe the Xbox One is a better choice, after all.

The recording suspension is understandable. It's to avoid spoilers and stuff like that. And it's fine really.
The MP3 stuff is bullshit though.
Straight from the PS4 FAQ posted on blog.us.playstation.com
"Will PS4 support media servers or DLNA support in order to stream videos or movies from a home PC?
The PS4 system does not support client functionality for media servers."
FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! someone(s) w/ twitter seriously need to blow up yosp's account.
Oh god it gets worse. This bit just cost them a sale to my brother-in-law.
If you want to avoid spoilers, don't watch streams or youtube videos.

You get BR playback with the day one patch. I suspect they were initially against having BR playback but realized combined with no DLNA/MP3 that would be a clusterfuck waiting to happen.

No, it doesn't.
Oh please.
Anytime I listen to music while playing games, usually during MP sessions, I play it through another source anyway. I am also a college student and have access to multiple speakers/amps throughout the house. They sound better than the TV so I never use this feature anyway.
This does seem pretty stupid not to include, but I always assumed this was the way people did it anyway.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Features from the Vita not even making it into their big next-gen console is lame.
Honestly pretty disappointed about this. PS3 has been my goto media player for so long, learning the new shiny box has less and less use is not a good way to make me happy dropping big bones on it.

Recording and streaming are two different things.

Now this is terrible no music visualizer either? I have my PS3 hooked up to a nice sound system, and keep hundreds of songs on it so I can play music through my surround sound in PCM quality when I have guest over this is something I really like about my PS3. The hell Sony?
What? I buy all my music. What are you implying. Amazon mp3 and google both sell mp3 format audio.
I also have a spotify subscription for reference.

Now this is actually something that affects the usability of the console. Some serious bullshit.
Well that's Sony covering their arses, it's up to Devs wrt videos
Sony being Sony. They haven't learned from their successes with their MP3 players (which could not play MP3s...). Apple embraces canibalization, Sony opposes it (well, luckily for Sony MS does the same (Windows is their holy grail) and Nintendo as well).
Well, I am not using my PS3 to play MP3s so I most likely won't miss this feature.

Clearly this is the case.
If you've ever used your gaming console as a dedicated media device of any kind, Xbox One is our only choice now.
What a depressing day.

Why? Sounds like a great idea. If you have a game, with a huge twist in story, or a surprise ending, maybe you dont allow people to capture it right after release? Its a developer decision after all. Then a few months after launch, you patch it out and people can capture it.
This example would be neat to try and preserve some type of story element.
Yeah my thought exactly.
