F**k you Sony.
Will PS3 peripherals such as fighting sticks and steering wheels work with PS4?
Generally speaking, no. However, at launch, users will be able to use these controllers if a specific game title allows it to be used within the game. This decision is upon the game developer and will vary from game to game.
Sounds sucky.

anger management and drama aside...

There's a major difference between positioning your console to attempt to take over TV in the living room a la Xbone and dropping basic utility functions that have been on a platform for years just to push your own subscription services.
CD's I can understand. I have long since copied all mine onto the network. No MP3 is annoying but again it's no big loss. The lack of DLNA is more of an issue as that is an oft used function of the PS3, probably it's 2nd biggest after Netflix! But then again I have kids so...
Though I'm sure that DLNA will make it at a later date, though it hasn't made it to the Vita yet... Once it is in place it renders the loss of the first two irrelevant.
The fact that I can plug it in on day one and instantly start playing Killzone, BF4, or Knack without having to download anything is the most important thing.
Games first; bells and whistles afterwards!!

Last weekend I did some upgrades in my desktop PC, changed motherboard, cooling system, etc.
I looked at the DVD-Drive and tried to remember the last time I used an optical drive and it had been about a year ago. I used it to rip/upload some CDs to Google Play Music. Ironically, I had used it as a means to never use it again.
So I took out the optical drive and with the space I gained in my 12 year-old case the cables are now much more tidy and accessible.
But to be honest, I only took it off because my HTPC has a blu-ray drive and my laptop bundled an external drive. Counting with my GF's laptop, I'm sure I'm not going to need 3 usable drives in the house.
That said, I don't understand why so many restrictions on legacy formats.
CDs are still sold widely, why prevent people from using the console to listen to a CD, even more if it sits in the living room where many people enjoy listening to music while looking at the cover of a CD?
I guess this is one of the reasons why the (windows) PC will keep being a strong platform throughout next-gen. We never come up to these WTF?? restrictions in a windows PC.

The FAQ is pretty clear about what features are in development and which features are flat out not supported. No MP3 or DLNA are clearly stated as not going to be supported.
Anyone know the release date for the first Steam boxes?

And yet 3Gb are dedicated to OS.
MP3 and DNLA are really annoying omissions. However, I was assuming we'd have these things now that EU gets the console at launch. I will benchmark the firmware development against the essentials that we're added previously at the EU launch.
DNLA is worrying though as they haven't added it to Vita yet either. On the other hand, remote play and live broadcasting at launch is stuff I am happy with and could easily not have made it. I hope suspend makes it in soon though.

Ah. There it is. Took you long enough.
The Android and iOS app comes out before the consoles, Nov 11 I think, they already announce this.
dlna is the only ommission that would bother me. I'd be unlikely to copy mp3s onto the console anyway. But I use dlna quit a bit on the 360 when I'm playing games that have shitty music, which is pretty much every sports title. Very easy to stream music directly from my phone. It's not a deal-breaker exactly, because for many games I'd want to play with the game music, but it seems like a pretty simple feature to support. Looks like this might be a way their trying to engineer their consumers into paying for their music subscription service, and basically fuck that.
