The PS4 requires Playstation Plus to play online but I'm not sure whether apps like Netflix require that.

I had the same issue with Halo. Ultimately, I'm not going to support the Xbox One due to likely surveillance. At least with the PS4 the camera isn't forced on you at purchase. Although the PS4 camera does seem to have similar features like facial recognition. I wonder whether that will encourage anything malicious.

Wow ... no multiplayer without PS+? You seem to be correct and this is a step back for Sony in my opinion. I thought they were the humble ones this time around and not pulling this crap.

PS+ doesn't seem to be required for Netflix and Amazon though.
