The special Play As You Download system that's included in the PlayStation 4 will allow owners of the console to easily access their digital games from any console, without having to wait for lengthy transfers.

PlayStation 4 games will be built in a special way that allows them to start even if the rest of the files are still being downloaded from the PS Store.

This special system will make it much easier for owners to access their digital accounts, as they'll no longer be deterred by long downloads, according to Sony's Neil Brown, who talked with OPM.

"With Play As You Download you get much quicker access to at least the first section of the game so you can start playing quicker. So this makes a digital library a practical option in the real world," he said.

The PS4 is out this holiday season in Europe and North America for just 399 USD/EUR.
