- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2014Color: BlackVerified Purchase**UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM**
I've waited 4 months before writing my review on the PS4. The reason for this is because I wanted to see how it would improve with updates during the 4 months.
I bought a PS3 about a year after they were released and a PS2 about a year after it was released. Since I've loved the playstation since my very first PS1, I decided I had nothing to lose and after a few months of the PS4 being released, I got one.
Let me start this by saying I used the crap out of my PS3. I gave up cable because I had a my whole media library streaming to my PS3 along with Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. It was one box for anything I wanted to watch or any game I wanted to play and it worked beautifully. An ultimate home theater entertainment solution. I loved it and so did my wife. The PS3 is the best console I own.
That being said, so far the truth about the PS4 is it is glorified hardware for nice looking games and has the functionality to be able to download apps such as netflix, hulu, redbox, amazon prime, etc. Unfortunately the functionality ends there. As always on playstations, the web browser is garbage and if you do want to try watching anything from your media library from plex, the browser cuts off parts of the screen when you click on the fullscreen button and it's just a pain in the neck to even get to the plex site and do it this way. I've read several times that Sony "might" put give the PS4 media server functionality with dlna streaming, but after 4 months of owning the PS4, I feel as though I've paid a lot of money to lose functionality in order to gain nothing but glorified hardware that does not even support 3D. So if I were to buy a 3D TV, I would either need to connect both my PS3 and PS4 up to it or buy a 3D blue ray player.
Don't get me wrong.The games on this thing look Phenomenal. I've yet to have problems with the grips on the controller. I've read 5 star review after 5 star review of this console to convince me that my purchase of this console is justified. However, I only game at night when my family is in bed so my daughter isn't distracted by the controller, and I don't have to pause every few minutes, so needless to say, unless I want to watch something on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime, I barely turn the thing on. After giving it some thought, I decided to see if I could get a direct answer from Sony Support. Here's how our chat conversation went:
Me: Yes. I purchased a PS4 back in March of this year, discovering that it did not have DLNA capabilities, 3d support, and it was not able to play media from an external storage device. I feel like I've paid for glorified hardware with less features than the PS3 had. Since I can't find a clear answer online just that "updates may change this in the future", I thought I would ask the company that sells the console if any of these things are changing for sure.
Sony: I do apologize all inconveniences it may caused you, let me do my best to assist you.
Me: not a big deal. I'd just like to know if any of these capabilities will definitely or will definitely not be added in the future.
Sony: those options may come in the future, sorry for that.
You may keep checking our website or our blog:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/
Me: but there's really not a definite yes or no answer right? I just wanted to verify that nothing is set in stone as of right now.
Sony: Not right now.
Sony: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Me: that will be all. thank you.
So until I have a concrete answer, I'm plugging my PS3 back in and stuffing this thing in the closet until either a game comes out on PS4 that I really want to play that's unavailable on PS3, or an update finally comes out that makes the functionality of the PS4 exceed the functionality of the PS3, or my PS3 finally dies on me.
If you used the media server functionality on the PS3, you'll find that this system leaves much to be desired. If you're a hardcore gamer and that's all you want to do on the PS4, then the PS4 is for you.
______________________________________________________________
**UPDATE**
The PS4 now has a Plex app. If you don't know what Plex is, and you like to stream movies, music, and pictures from your computer to any phone, computer, tablet, etc anywhere you are, google Plex Media Server and get enlightened.
Now that the Plex app is available, I have no reason to whine. I've added the additional 2 stars, and I now think this is the perfect Gaming/media system. the Rubber has worn off the joysticks on my controller, but there are covers and replacements that amazon sells, plus they should be covered under warranty. Not a deal breaker. But now that the Plex app has been added, I use my PS4 for everything.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2014Color: BlackVerified PurchaseThis is the must-have consumer product of the holiday season. If you don't have it, you gotta get it.
Another fantastic console from Sony. Here we are, the 4th generation of the glorious Playstation. And it is better than ever. Playstation Now, Sony's cloud-based gaming service is currently on BETA, but so far, it looks good to me. Games run fine as long as your internet connection is fast enough. In most case, your typical broadband would be sufficient. I have not experienced any issues, and I live in a small town where internet service is lagging behind in terms of speed.
The console runs much cooler than the PS3. Its smaller size also mean that you have more options of where to put it. However, I would still make sure that it gets sufficient ventilation and air circulation.
There is really not much more to say about the console. Yes, it is powerful. Yes, the graphics are terrific. Yes, the Playstation desktop, dashboard, or main menu, whatever you choose to call it, is intuitive. Certainly much preferred to the competition. The controller charges fast and holds its charge fairly well. Ergonomics are fine, but in a way, I prefer the previous generation controller.
You should absolutely subscribe to Playstation Plus. Definitely worth it as there are freebies included. By the way, I am also a subscriber on XBox Gold.
PS4 or XBox One? Choose based on exclusives. If you do not have any attachments to the exclusives, pick the PS4. The Playstation Now service is looking better and better every week. My only complaint is that we do not yet have access to the awesome library of PS One and PS2 games. Now, this is not something that would be difficult for Sony to do. They have some of the best engineering minds and the most experienced developers on the planet. If they want to make it happen, it will happen. The indisputable advantage that the Playstation has over its competition is that it has the biggest library of legacy games, going back four generations. I do not want to get into a long discussion of the importance of backwards compatibility. Been there, done that with the PS3. However, the ability to be able to continue to play those older PS1 and PS2 games add value to the console. It also means that any game made for any Playstation system will never be obsolete. That adds value to a customer's game library. I would feel better when I have to pay full-price for games if I knew that I will always be able to play them even when the PS10 comes along!!! Compatibility via the Cloud is probably how this will be handled. It will eventually happen, I am just hoping that it will happen sooner, rather than later. I have discussed this topic with other gamers and the reason may be is that Sony has not yet decided on the pricing for those legacy games. Playstation NOW is still on BETA, but it actually runs just fine as it is. I suspect it may be the pricing scheme that has not been decided yet.
Just last night I played "Iron from Ice", an episodic adventure game based on George Martin's "A Game of Thrones". The game played flawlessly. There is something for everybody. And there is more to come when Sony finally makes available PS1 and PS2 games on Playstation Now. I checked the list of games last night and they even have "El Shaddai" on there. That game was not a big seller. If they have that available, think of what they will have in the future. Can you imagine being able to replay classics such as "The Legend of Dragoon", "Final Fantasy X", and Xenogears on your PS4! I hope it happens soon.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding this console. It does have a headstart in cloud-based gaming with Playstation NOW and we all know that it can only get better. The consoles are selling out very fast. As soon as you have an opportunity to make a purchase, I recommend that you do so. I suspect that supplies are going to be running low as the holiday season progresses.
