Xbox One can play CDs and is DLNA compatible
Now the Penny Arcade Report has confirmed, via a Microsoft statement, that the company's Xbox One console will in fact play audio CDs and will be DLNA compatible. The story adds that the DLNA support for the console is still in the process of being certified. You may remember that Microsoft had previously confirmed that the Xbox One would not serve as a native Windows Media Center Extender, but the news that it will support DLNA does mean that the console will be able to stream content from other DLNA devices.
The PS4 FAQ also said that the console won't support the playback of MP3 files. Microsoft apparently won't allow Xbox One owners to import MP3 files directly to the console, but it will support streaming of music files from Play To devices like a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 PC.

yomama9999 I would think that both the ps4 and xbox 1 would have this
Sony might not want to invest the money into a CD player when they could just use that money for a different upgrade.

Frog Wow, the Xbox One plays CD's? That's actually a great idea even though CD's aren't used so much nowadays...
I was surprised as well.
Considering most people only use digital downloads now days, i'm surprise they would even invest the money for a CD compatible player.

I don't see why anyone would want to play CD's in this day and age, but I guess this is a good feature.

its a cool feature but as you guys said its going to be mostly pointless for most people.

-Mark Even though I'm getting a xbox one, I don't think I will ever put a CD into it and try to play music. I can't even remember the last time I bought a CD.
I tend not to use CD's any more either. Downloading music is much more efficient and in most cases, lest costly

TheGhostsKAQKatsumi This is what i really expected from both the consoles. I don't find it special that the Xbox One is doing it just because the PS4 is not.
Ps4 will end up bringing this out soon after launch i think :/
Oh they are,up coming in a future patch apparently.
I think you guys missed the point of Katsumi's comment. It doesn't really matter, it's a miscellaneous feature, just because the XBONE is doing it doesn't necessarily mean the PS4 has to or will.
