Some of the concerns and questions about the Playstation 4<\/h1>\n

\"Playstation<\/a><\/p>\n

Playstation 4 – No SSD? (Solid State Drive) – Loading times?<\/h3>\n

I was expecting Playstation 4 to have a SSD, when the console comes available, but looks like this won’t happen. Xbox had a console version called Elite (back in the day), and I’m hoping that Sony would make a similar decision with SSD driven Playstation 4. I don’t like load times (I doubt anyone likes). It’s one of the things I hate about my PS3. Of course Sony promised that the new PS4 will load games faster, thanks to the faster Blu-ray drive. I have high doubts about this. I have never seen a fast DVD\/Blu-ray drive…They make a horrible noise too.<\/p>\n

SSD is not only about performance. SSD needs less power, it’s silent, and doesn’t heat up. SSD issue might be the only reason why I’d delay buying the PS4 console. <\/p>\n

Amazon has two PS4 versions <\/a>“Launch edition” and “Standard edition”. Does this mean we’ll see more versions coming?<\/p>\n

Playstation 4 – Heating and noise issues?<\/h3>\n

Playstation 3 wasn’t the most silent console, and it had some heating issues . I really hope that the PS4 is much more silent, and doesn’t have any heating problems. <\/p>\n

Playstation 4 – Hard to clean<\/h3>\n

Glossy PS3 was pretty hard to clean: Plenty of edges (thanks to strange shapes that the console has) + the glossy surface. Not to mention ventilation holes that are pretty hard to keep clean.<\/p>\n

What about the Playstation 4? Based on the pictures I’ve seen, it seems to have even more places where the dust can go and buildup , making it even hard to clean. If you are teenager I doubt you won’t care how much dust your console can collect…. But hey, I’m a grumpy old man, that likes to keep his house clean. :)<\/p>\n

PS+ service required for streaming services (Netflix, Spotify etc.)?<\/h3>\n

At least Netflix is safe, according to this: “all video services [on the PS4] will be outside of Plus<\/a>“. What about Spotify (It’s a music service) or other streaming services.<\/p>\n

Playstation+ service is pretty essential to any Playstation 4 fan, who like to play their games online (as it’s now required). I’m sure you won’t see streaming services as an issue, if you pay for the Playstation+ service anyway.<\/p>\n

Playstation 4 – DVD Upscaling and Image Improvements<\/h3>\n

DVD upscaler is one the best things that PS3 has. It makes old DVD movies viewable on HDTVs. Hopefully Playstation 4 has even more control to make those old DVDs look even better on your TV. I’m sure movie fans will agree with me on this one.<\/p>\n

Playstation 4 – Used games?<\/h3>\n

I think this video answers this question:
