DUALSHOCK 4 also has a touchpad at the front of the controller as a new input method, offering more ways to interact with games. Additionally there’s a built-in speaker and headset jack to deliver high-fidelity sound effects from the games. A headset will be bundled with PS4, enabling gamers to chat with friends during online gaming and to hear sound effects from the controller.

W00T, I am even more hyped now

Looks awesome. There's no way I'm gonna go out of my way to buy a bunch of peripherals on top of an expensive launch console but if it's included then I don't have to.

It would be really sick if through the headphone jack you could hear everything thats supposed to come out of the TV. That way when its late or other people are doing stuff in the house I can have it as loud and epic as I want

With Bluetooth, that's totally doable, right? Excellent news ^^

[Dave-The-Rave]

I hope they make the current PS3 Bluetooth headset compatible with it. I don't see why they wouldn't though.

[Beardy]

Great to hear. The PS4 is just sounding better and better, lets just hope it comes in at a reasonable price.

I'm wondering what kind of stuff we will be able to do with the touch pad that's on the controller.

Use a mouse cursor for web browsing.

Well that's a given, considering the keypad accessory for the PS3 did the same thing.

I being a person that has a 7 year old daughter that doesn't stay up late nights, this would be EPIC for me! Right now I have to string a f-ing cord from my receiver to my headphones and it is a pain in the ass! (and no I don't want to buy wireless headphones) Hopefully I can just plug my noise-cancelling headphones into the headphone jack and roll with that as well!

Probably be useful in Diablo 3 as a mouse cursor.
Other than that I canno think of anything else. Those type of pads are on alot of laptops which are used for...

many uses for it. There is one particular use it could be for and that's if they need an extra button that is really important for a certain game, they can program that into that touch pad.

[YoungMullah88]

the touchpad also clicks...

[ImSiCkOfYoU]

im just curious to know what it's gonna cost.

You mentioned only one.

[manutdfan]

Yeah good idea with make online gaming better. Everyone will have a mic now, or could go the other way and make it worse, annoying kids!! :O

[MonkeyClaw]

The only thing I ask with the new system:

Only allow me to hear my PSN friends if I choose, I don't want to hear everybody in every game!
