That was fast. After Microsoft announced the Xbox One is going to get Blu-ray 3D support in an update soon, Sony's PlayStation Europe arm has responded by finally revealing the same feature is coming to the PS4. There's no word yet on any other other home theater related features we'd love to see make the jump from PS3 to PS4 (Bluetooth remote, DLNA, MP3 playback), or a specific release date, but software update 1.75 is the one we're looking forward to. It's hard to say which is the bigger coincidence -- that this feature is confirmed just days after the XB1 or that it comes as we're finding out about the PSN outage settlement. Hey, at least it's not another stability update.

 

 

not a coincidence at all ;)

I like when consoles get cool features because it puts more pressure on PC hardware and software manufacturers to make better products.

 

however, the PS4 should have already had this considering it was available on the PS3

I didn't even know PS4 lacked blu-ray playback until now...

 

Apparently just 3D playback, i've watched plenty of blu-rays on mine.

What the hell? Why was this not included in shipped console. My PS3 has been playing 3D Blu-Ray for yeears! 
Same with the lack of Ext HDD support!

Yeah, but didn't the ps3 have 3-d blu ray support?

What exactly were they doing during development of the PS4? Its not powerful and it has fewer features than the previous gen console. Great job sony, this is why I'm glad i skipped at least this generation.

Everything said by me is my humble opinion and nothing more, unless otherwise stated.

They planned on adding it later as paid DLC.

Oh wait, EA didn't make the PS4, nvm.
