I'm not going to keep switching between my PS3 and Ps4 if I want to watch 3D movies, besides I have limited space on my shelf.

I understand. It will come, just not near as fast as people want it.

If one certain word was spelled slightly differently this could be a hilarious post

Plus I stand a standalone like a Sony BDP-S5100 is still faster then the PS4?

ahhhh this again?? Not to be a dick , but if your buying a gaming system to be your media, cd, dvd, bd, 3d bd hub, then your just cheap, or broke... you can get a nice 3d bd player for $60, and take alot of needless wear off your "gaming system"

Man, maybe im just an old crabby bastard at 34 but I Never *****ed about my Genesis or N64 not being able to play my VHS tapes.... Crazy to see how spoiled we all have become

Well, the argument can be that the PS3 plays 3D blus, so why not PS4? Also, it's surely not the main reason why he bought one just to play 3D blus, but still.

Since when is a person cheap or broke because the system lacks what the PS3 had? and a 3D bluray player is more like $80

And comparing a genesis or Nintendo N64 to VHS is stupid.

You're argument is utterly ridiculous dude!

I'm neither cheap nor broke. I own 10 3ds units, ps2, ps3, ps4, x1, 360! I have no more room!!!

If the damn system just did the same shit the ps3 did then I would sell my ps3! Has nothing to do with cheap or broke. Go live in a NYC apartment and you will whistle another tune.

Dude, that's because genesis and n64 never played VHS. Your comparing apples to oranges. Innovation is making leaps forward. Not disabling shit and taking steps back. If the ps3 never had 3d compatibility then we wouldn't expect or ***** for the ps4 to have it... But ate not he case now is it.

I read where the PS4 would make bacon. I'm still waiting for that update

Your Genesis didnt use VHS to play games so that wasnt a concern back then was it? Considering the PS4 has the hardware capable of playing many of those media formats you mention, it makes alot more sense why one would want it to, especially since its predecessors going back to the PS1 days have with increased support with each gen

People are still bickering over this?? SMH 3D isn't a main focus for the PS4 at this time. Will it ever support 3D? of course, it's just a matter of time (the PS4 doesn't even supprort 4K yet).

Getting peoples bluetooth headsets are not a main focus at all as well, sure they said the new update MIGHT have support for it but what about non pulse owners?

Pulse support with 7.1 sound incoming

The next system software update for PlayStation 4 (version 1.60) will be released tomorrow (4th February 2014), bringing compatibility support to PS4 for the PULSE Wireless Stereo Headset (including the GTA V limited edition version) and the original Wireless Stereo Headset.
This means that you will now be able to use these wireless headsets on your PS4 and can experience 7.1 virtual surround sound and voice chat while playing your PS4 games.
Headset
Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 for PS4
We’re also pleased to tell you about a new headset that is coming soon for PS4. The Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 will be available from 10th February 2014 (market dependant) at £79.99/€89.99 SRP.
This new wireless headset for PS4 features stunning 7.1 virtual surround sound, as well as a crystal clear, noise-cancelling internal microphone for chatting to friends on Party, when playing online multiplayer.
The headset can be used at home using the USB wireless adaptor with your PS4, PS3, PC or Mac for up to 8 hours thanks to its rechargeable battery. You can also use the headset on the go with your PS Vita or with other mobile devices using the included 3.5mm stereo mini jack. With its foldable design the headset is ideal for travel and storage, so when you’re not using it, simply fold your headset up.
Headset Companion App

What’s more, you’ll be able to access custom sound modes to enhance your gameplay, music and movie experience on PS4 and PS3 through the Headset Companion App, available soon from PlayStation Store at no extra cost (also available through an update patch to the PULSE Manager app on PS3).
Make sure you look out for future releases of sound modes that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favourite PS4 games. The first sound mode that will be coming soon to the app is being developed by Sucker Punch for their highly anticipated PS4 exclusive, inFAMOUS Second Son.

In addition, the app also offers a variety of preset audio modes for games, music and movies, as well as a tool to create your own custom EQ mode.
The Headset Companion App will be compatible with Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 and the PULSE Wireless Stereo Headsets on both PS4 and PS3.

PlayStation App Update – Version 1.6
An update released to the PlayStation App for iOS and Android devices last week, added ‘Live from PlayStation‘ support (among other features), allowing you to browse and launch videos of live gameplay on your phone or tablet via USTREAM or Twitch.

I hope it defaults to muting in games where it's only being used as a general mic. I felt like an idiot when I had it on in the past but now that I have my Astro, its started driving me crazy when someone leaves their mick open.

Support is only for the pulse and not a bluetooth headset?

I thought the update was only for Pulse, but the post mentions the original Wireless Stereo Headset too. Is that the first Sony one that comes with the USB?
