UK users of the PS3 who are upgrading to the PS4 might be a bit annoyed at the lack of Channel 4’s 4OD and ITV Player, which they will be losing for the time being if they are replacing PS3 for PS4. However, both apps will likely be coming soon, they just won’t be available for your perusal this Friday.
