Recommending someone as a participant

You can recommend a player by selecting (Suggest) from the party you have joined. If the player you recommend is invited by the party owner, that player receives a notification and becomes able to join the party.

Yay, I like this

drproton · Nov 13, 2013

For voice input, use a headset (included) or the microphones on a PlayStation®Camera.

May not be news, but I was waiting for confirmation that voice commands work with the headset.

If a headset and a PlayStation®Camera are both connected to the system, only the headset's microphone is enabled.

And that while streaming you can use the headset mic without the Playstation Camera.

The party system seems super robust:

BigK_201 · Nov 13, 2013

Maybe I just assumed this, but I thought the PS4 would support Blu Ray 3D? The manual says it does not. I'm guessing that should be coming sometime in an update, right?

Right?

ClearData · Nov 13, 2013

No information about how to install a new hard drive. I was looking forward to that the most.

Gaz_RB · Nov 13, 2013

Alright someone go through it and tell me everything interesting.

VOOK · Nov 13, 2013

Playback of the following types of discs is not supported.

BD-RE ver.1.0

Blu-Ray compatibility comes with the day one update, Firmware 1.5, along with a host of other features. Google the Ultimate PS4 FAQ and read that on PS Blog for more information.

Good shortcuts.

Troubleman1990 · Nov 13, 2013

so we can't play videos on ext HD.... wellokey.

Dead Prince · Nov 13, 2013

YES. they have a passcode for logging in.

Logging in

The screen for selecting a user is displayed when you turn on the PS4 system or connect a controller. To log in, select a user and follow the screens.
When you select [New User], you can register a new user and log in, or log in as a guest.

When you connect a controller, a color is assigned to the user of the controller and the controller's light bar lights up. The color that is assigned to the user depends on the order in which the controller is connected. The first user is blue, the second is red, the third is green, and the fourth is pink.
You can automatically log in when you turn on the PS4 system. For details, see "Log In to PS4 Automatically".
You can also automatically log in by having the camera compare your face to your face data. If you set a checkmark in (Settings) > [Login Settings] > [Enable Face Recognition], the camera recognizes your face when you log in.
If you have not added your face data or if you want to create a new user, press the button on the controller corresponding to [Cancel] to exit the face recognition screen. Then log in by selecting a user or creating a new user.
You can set the passcode used when logging in. For details, see "Passcode Management".

What?! I can't watch 3D movies on the PS4?? I thought it had 3D support D:

EDIT: Just saw that there's a day one update that adds this in? I really hope so

This isn't going to be like PS3 again with gimped audio when they implement 3D is it?

Reading through that again, it doesn't say anything about Blu-Ray 3D. In the Video/TV section of the manual, it says Blu Ray 3D is not supported:

Looks like no MP4 playback?

it's already patch in as part of day 1 firmware

Copying saved data

Saved data is stored on the PS4™ system. You can copy the saved data using one of the following methods.

Upload to Online Storage.
Copy to USB Storage Device.

Doesn't look like you can load from USB. You still have to copy the save to the console you want to play on. Unsure about cloud. Hopefully logging in on another console just syncs everything...

Thank god for that.

Soup Bar · Nov 13, 2013

Very odd that Bluray 3D isn't supported. Hopefully it's patched in sooner rather than later.

I'm an idiot.

Blu-ray playback is included with 1.50, but Blu-ray 3D is not.

Ditto. The party system is another reason why I want to go digital, it'll make it easier to swap games when everyone is playing something different.

shem935 · Nov 13, 2013

Cool I will definitely read that.

Nope

Online storage updates automatically now (without the PS+ timer stuff) on logout? nice

Source? I can't find anything stating this. 3D blu ray playback is kind of a big deal to me, I know a lot of people hate 3D but I love watching movies at home in that format. Sad if PS4 can't do this, I guess I'll still be using my PS3 a lot for the time being.

Good. The ps3 store looked great and was well designed it just ran like shit. Crossing my digits that this is smooth.

What's a bummer is it can support it, since its more capable than the PS3, we will have to just wait for it in a future patch.

I'm in the same boat, I love watching movies in 3D. I blame the 3DS for getting me into 3D

Magicman103 · Nov 13, 2013

Apparently you can tilt the controller to input text lol. But I don't see any option to input text with the touchpad

It appears so. I was hoping that's what it would do.

Adjust Daylight Saving Automatically
You can set whether to adjust the time for daylight saving. The time will not be adjusted if you remove the checkmark from [Date and Time] > [Adjust Daylight Saving Automatically].
This item is displayed only if the region set under [Date and Time] > [Time Zone] is one that implements daylight saving.
