hi, about to get a new ps4 slim and a new comer to ps world.
so wanna know a few things before i kick ass with my ps.
1. i know i need to get a PSN (or was it PS plus?) to play mp online with other people. but do i need it if i just want to stay connected with other people online? ie friendlist, join community, chats, stream, etc etc.
2. ps4 can connect to wifi or must it be a wired connection?
3. what is a season pass? how does it work? does it expires?
pls guide

1. Ps plus is required if you want to play multiplayer & co-op. The benefit of ps plus is you get a free games every month and a discount if you want to purchase game in the ps store. Other than that as your stated above, non ps plus user can join the stream, hats, community etc.
2. Both.You can connect either via wifi or wired. But if you have a weak wifi connection, I reccomend use wired connection.
3. Season pass is a whole package dlc of a video game. Example, if you purchase Star Wars : Battlefront normal edition, you can purchase either a seperate dlc or buy the season pass to have all the dlc's in the package in the ps store.
