The PlayStation 4 might not be about them apps or media functionality (well, not as much as the Xbox One anyway), but it will still have a hefty lineup of entertainment apps once it launches in Europe this coming Friday.
The full list of apps, along with the regions where they will be available, includes:
- BBC Iplayer: UK
- BBC Sports: UK
- Total Channel: Spain
- Demand 5: UK
- Rtbf: Belgium
- Nos Sports: Netherlands

Pretty darn impressive. Hopefully there are no judder issues caused by incompatibility between the PS4’s native 60Hz refresh rate, and PAL territories’ 50Hz one, like on the Xbox One.
