Can't wait for the neogaf community.
They could also tell devs : stop creating save files so big that you could fit 3 times Zelda OOT in them.

Because you don't have OCD. Some people like to keep the list clean.

For fuck's sake...
Thats not ocd it's just perfectionism. Unless they can't get through a day without constantly thinking about the games that aren't 100% that isn't ocd

Folders?
Filters for library?
No more random ordering of apps in video section of xbar?

Not bad, social side is top notch from Sony. Just need to work on the basic features.

I don't even care if they're 100% though.
It's more if I buy a game, play it for a bit, realise it's not for me, and sell it, I don't want it stuck on my trophy list for all time. I just want to be rid of it entirely.

yeah...trophy related stuff should go down to the bottom of the list of requests lol...well outside of turning off auto screenshots for popped trophies. 
It's very weird on pretty much all parties parts, that folders are way later than you'd think they'd be.
X1 could definitely do with folders, but hopefully the new OS will get improve the OS currently because I hate it in its current form.
PS4 still doesn't have it of course and wanted since day 1.
Wii U did get it...eventually but I remember it taking longer than people hoped.
Weird such a simple sounding feature takes so long to implement. Do they not think we want it much or is it harder than it seems?
Other than that, liking the sound of a lot of these additions and improvements. Making the online experience more next gen I suppose with the communities and etc.

Just checked my save files, and Alien: Isolation, Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Infamous: Second Son & First Light, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Shadow of Mordor, The Last of Us remastered, The Order: 1886, Tomb Raider remastered, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and most of the smaller downloadable games all take 10-30MB per save file.
The only big ones I have are Driveclub and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, but I think the latter was fixed with a patch.

But people did care about PNG screens and online storage increase. They asked for them! Read the reactions in here. Could the update have been better? Of course. But even the things that don't interest me (YT streaming and communities etc) other people are hyped for them.
As I said before, if you want something to be added then tell Sony about it. They have that official forum just for feature suggestions, and you can also Tweet @Toshimasa_Aoki, who is the go to guy for FW feature suggestions.

"PS4 cloud storage capacity will increase from 1GB to 10G"
Was hoping for unlimited space, but i'll take what i can get. Cloud is always full of 100+ MB saves. Even smaller games like Rocketleague has a huge savefile.

Create a new user account which is for trying out PS+ games on? Then, if you like it, you can play it on your regular account.
Yeah i know, that was an unfortunate hyperbolic way of explaining it.

How would transferring saves work? Unless you're suggesting someone play the game, like it, then have to start over on their new account.

Yeah, it's usually 10MB per save file (afaik it can't be smaller than that - why? ask the geniuses at Sony). Imagine if you have one file for settings/profile info, one file for checkpoint progress and additional files for manual saves and you're quickly approaching the 100MB margin in a single game. And that's not counting stuff like replays or levels created in an editor.
community, upload pics/vids to live at ps and png pics. fantastic.
i can relate to that. i dont experiment nearly as enough because i dont want to be stuck with another stupid trophy list.

My cloud storage has been full for awhile, does anyone know if after this update it will upload all my current saves?

both of you have issues if having a game show up on your trophies list is preventing you from trying out certain games.

Better that than not playing a game.
Supposed to start today, at least some people who have signed up/been selected should get the download today.
No idea about a real time, regional differences, validation process or download process.

I turned off save auto upload earlier this year because I was tired of seeing errors, so was stoked to see the 10gb increase for saves. That was until I checked my PS4: According to the storage management tool I have 12gb of saved games already. WTF.
I'm sure I'll be able to go through and exclude specific games to make it reasonable (LBP has a 500mb something or other, think Driveclub may as well?)
I really wish I could turn on nightly backups to an attached USB stick. That would be more of a peace of mind for me.
Should have been unlimited, but 10gb is a heck of an improvement, I'll take what I can get.

do they get a download on the ps4 or they receive an email first?

I've noticed that a lot of games take up more space on my local system that what they do in my online storage. So just because you have 12GB local doesn't mean it will be that large online.

I'm not a programmer or anything, but such a basic feature cannot possibly be that hard to integrate.
I can't stand having to disconnect in order to "appear offline" anymore.

10gb online storage is fantastic news. Whoever thought 1gb was enough was way behind the times.
Great news about PNG screenshots too.
Sounds like a pretty good update.

Finally Sony giving us some .PNG love!
Please. While the storage boost is nice, I'd rather have the ability to organize my content instead of instead of a 1000 new sharing features I'll never use. I'm tired of having to navigate around video services I don't use just to get to Netflix.

Yeah, start over again. Just play it for a couple of hours then switch back to your main account. I've got about seven different accounts now with games spread across all of them. I just like starting new PSN names though heh. I've done one for MGS5 but I probably won't use it again after I've completed it.

Welcome to 2013 Sony. About time you fixed your storage issue.
There's lots to like about this update.
Favourite Groups & Communities: Love it esp. the message board
Events: Nice addition, would be great if they include release dates of games
10GB Cloud Storage & Lossless Screenshots: Immediately useful, excellent
YouTube Gaming Integration: Not a surprise but definitely relevant to my interest
Great update. As for my remaining wishlist...
1) PS Classics - it's about time...seriously
2) Download List - should have been fixed long ago
3) Homescreen customisation - not sure folder is the answer but at least place the bloody Library to the immediate left of What's New
4) Media Player - wanted DTS support but that's no longer needed now that I got myself a Bravia Android TV which does the job way better than any console will ever be. I use the Media Player only for music now and it's pretty decent actually.
