Hat-tips: Have a PS Vita? Remote Play on the PS4 system fully unlocks the PlayStation Vita handheld’s potential. Gamers will be able to seamlessly play a range of PS4 titles on the PS Vita’s 5-inch display over Wi-Fi access points in a local area network.
Additionally, the PlayStation App will enable iPhone, iPad, and Android-based smartphones and tablets to become second screens for the PS4 system.
Note: The PlayStation 4 console will now always come with a voice-chat headset to connect to the controller. It also supports the optional new PlayStation Camera & old PlayStation 3 Move motion controller. The PlayStation 4 has no online DRM. And the PlayStation 4’s games are by default Region Free, allowing you to import & play games worldwide (unless a publishers blocks this option on the disc).
