PS4 FAQ clarifies sharing digital games, PlayStation Plus benefits
Designating a primary console also unlocks several other features, including Remote Play on Vita and the ability to purchase and pre-order content via the PlayStation App and have said content automatically download to your PS4. The FAQ also states that once you've chosen a primary PS4, "you can use up to 2 systems concurrently: the system activated as your 'primary' PS4 system, and one other system."
The FAQ also claims that, if a primary console is registered to an account with a PlayStation Plus subscription, there will be "numerous benefits" available to other users on that system, such as access to online multiplayer. The PlayStation Plus-holding account does not need to be logged in to utilize this feature.
The PS4 FAQ doesn't specify what other benefits for secondary users PlayStation Plus offers, or if the features mentioned will be enabled with the PS4's day one patch. Maybe Sony is saving that answer for FAQ Part 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Insignia115PawnStarsAxe xbox has had this for years, nothing really new other than sony copying the xbox 360.
To be honest, I kind of trust microsoft more, because they have a better reputation as a software and computer engineering company.
Did you even read the article??? I was unaware that the 360 that you could use smart glass and pre order games or use remote play with the vita... The only actual things that were mentioned that the xbox can do, so can the ps3.
sometimes i wish that Microsoft and Sony worked together to make the Ultimate Console. Then no one would be talking so much s*it
they did it resulted in the wii lol it would never work out they have entirely 2 different mindsets and wouldnt be able to agree on anything

Exactly. I've had 2 PS3's since '10 and this is exactly how why I have (and will be) bought games digitally and just installed them on both PS3's so I essentially have two copies for the price of one.

gyanimanAlone Glad that they've done this, even if Xbox have it already this is a good feature and I'm sure it'll make PS4 even better, well it will.
LOOOOOOOOOOL, and If Ms were able to get this in 2007, their prior knowledge would be better, so xbox will have it better, even though they **** up with their DRM, I thought that the DRM was better before and now they screwed it up, its Sony who kept them back
Agreed. Microsoft had a great vision, but changed it because the sales were terrible.
