PS4 to support gameplay capture from HDMI
The news was initially revealed during the PlayStation press conference at the Tokyo Game Show, and later confirmed by Sony's head of third-party relations Brad Douglas on Twitter.
It means that customers can attach video capture devices to the HDMI port on the PlayStation 4 without needing to go through any loopholes. Sony initially limited video content uploading to a bespoke 'share' button on the DualShock 4, but has now expanded those options by popular demand.
PS4 will release November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe and Australia.
Sony's console will launch around the same time as Microsoft's Xbox One, which will release on November 22 in 13 markets including North America, the UK and Australia. The system releases across Japan and Asia in 2014, though Microsoft has not specified a date.

MentalistGossip This is good. People with recording devices can use them and people without recording devices now get one.
I think this might boost the sales of capture devices, since the quality is improving alot.
This is what I thought.
Not only is this an advantage for Sony, but this is also a advantage for companies that sell capture cards.
People will be able to record in full HD now.

I remember there was a bit of a fuss about is on the PS3. At least they are making it a viable option with the newer console.
