PlayStation 4 drops support for MP3s, CDs; anguish ensues

Next-gen consoles encourage sharing, but not without limits. Two weeks ahead of the PlayStation 4's November 15 debut, the brand's official blog stepped up to answer some frequently asked questions -- and refuted some basic assumptions about the entertainment system's remit. Support for MP3 music files, external hard drives, CDs, and Sony's DLNA home streaming standard made the PlayStation 3 a capable all-round media center. Coupled with the prominence of Sony's sub-driven music and video streaming services, the change of direction had a cynical sheen. And gameplay uploads won't be sent straight to YouTube or a nearby PC for editing, with only Facebook, UStream and TwitchTV in the wheelhouse.
