The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

[D Double]

I had to find a replacement

 

[Gordonson]

There we go

I guess promo time is upon us.

 

[lavert24]

Anyone know if there will be a way to place friends into groups or such? I can't imagine having to go down a list.

I highly doubt that that is possible.

Maybe in an update.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Would be very dope.

Probably common knowledge for everyone, but Gamestop will start selling reserved systems that haven't been picked up that following Sunday.

Guess yall just think you gone skip over this one... That's ok.. I'll post it for you

Xbox One will act as a media server and play audio CDs HD

By Timothy J. Seppala posted Nov 1st, 2013 at 5:21 PM 494

The Xbox One will stream media from your home network and play audio CDs, Microsoft tells Penny Arcade Report. In that way, the One is much like the Xbox 360. When it comes to MP3 playback, however, it's a little trickier. The Xbox One is a Play To device that supports Redmond's PC and mobile ecosystem, but not much else. This comes just days after Sony released its massive FAQ that said, among other things, that the PlayStation 4 wouldn't do any of the above. If you're looking for a new do-all device for your A/V rack, the Xbox One could be it.

Waits for tired 720p jokes.

Why would we be searching for Xbox news and posting it in here?

But I'm glad Xbox is doing that, that'll definitely make Sony come to there senses.

Jetpac has a point. 

I haven't seen any jokes about the ps4 not being able to play mp3s...since the xb1 thread is dead right now.

Not being able to play mp3s on a ps4 right out the gate is silly as hell.

 

[swendro]

MP3's > Superior multiplatform/ 1st party games.

 

[carver]

That joke belongs in their thread..not ours manee

 

[blackboyfly]

MP3's > Superior multiplatform/ 1st party games.

You ain't know?

 

[swendro]

I mean ****, it cost $500, it better play MP3's right?

 

[goste187]

Meh..who cares. Simple update in the future will fix the mp3 issue. I'm not one to stream mp3s to my tv though so to each his own. 

 

[bamez]

Question to those getting both consoles.  You're getting PS+ and Live?

$ony doesn't support mp3 playbck right out the box.

But you can use music unlimited right out the box.

...seems legit.

 

[Gordonson]

Only thing I even care about in this situation is the MP3 playback. I have absolutely no intention of using Music Unlimited, and I actually play music that I have on my PS3 frequently when playing it. I get where they would be coming from in terms of avoiding any issues with copyright infringement and trying to push Music Unlimited, but I don't remember hearing about them catching heat for that feature on the PS3, so it should be fine.

As mentioned, it's just an update away from being fixed so it's not that serious.

MP3 Playback = Files could be from anywhere = Potential Copyright Infringement issues.

Music Unlimited = Sony's service, streams music, fully legal

From a business standpoint it makes perfect sense. Thankfully Sony is smart enough to have their ear directly to their support base as well.

I'd assume most likely. 

What's $80-$100 to a boss who can afford two gaming consoles?

Again..don't care. I use my gaming consoles to play games and watch streaming video secondary. As long as both of those are intact...don't care. I have other more specialized toys for when I wish to listen to music.

I was wondering the same thing, they should do the groups thing if not maybe a tab with each letter you can click on for the first letter in that persons nname

Nah I'm good here, every BAD M$ news gets released, not sure why any GOOD M$ news can't be released here either. Fam

 

[Figured it out]

Don't care about the MP3 but would like DLNA. I'm just starting to watch movies from my macbook to my ps3, would like to do the same on ps4. Not a deal breaker though

 

[jetpacunlimited]

Yes both

Supposedly $ony is already working on an update that will allow mp3 playback, so was potential copyright infringement issuses really the reason why it's not being released with the system right out the gate? 

More people using $ony's music unlimited means more $$$ for $ony, which I think is the bottom line.

$ony flip flopping so they don't catch no flack.

I wasn't asking if you cared.

The fact that a $400 can't play cds right out the gate in 2013 is ridiculous.

I hope with the new consoles(ps4/xb1) I can just load my mp3s to the consoles and just play them back.

On my 360, I stream my music to it.
