Windows 7 people. It's time to move on. Windows 10 is a fine operating system and it's fucking free.

Lol @ people disappointed in remote play not being 1080/60. That would require an incredible amount of bandwidth or an incredible amount of compression (nullifying the resolution increase). Not a chance in hell 99% of the user base will have the home network to do that and it will never happen over the Internet.

Upgrade to Windows 10 for free?

I don't think that's the answer at all, especially when I hated Windows 10 when I upgraded and it ran like crap on my hardware. Besides:

The best part about the events is that you can set your PS4 to automaticall turn on when the event starts.

So if the Xbox one is ultimately a "glorified" Windows 10 machine....Can we use remote play on Xbox one for the PS4 via the web browser? That seems like big news for Xbox one owners...hahaha

That's funny as shit because I just casually loaded up and streamed Stardew Valley at 1440p/60 over my consumer grade 802.11ac wifi network to my laptop upstairs and the bitrate was about 12mbps and completely smooth.

Kinda disappointed at the 720p resolution limit on remote play but I'll make it work.

While it's not listed maybe Window 7 is still supported fingers crossed.

Pretty sure you can make it work that way for Xbox One/Windows 10 PC remote play.

I have a PSTV and whenever i do remote play, it lags, is pretty much unplayable and the resolution is crap. On the other hand, remote play for Xbox One on my laptop works very well on wifi at home, no lag and image quality is very good. Why can't Sony do the same as Microsoft ?

Nothing for me in this update, really. Ah, well. I was sorta interested in messing about with PC remote play but if I have to use the Windows store, well, I won't use the Windows store.

Move the PS4 to whatever TV you are remote playing to?

Wow. Valve must be wizards then because the steam link can stream well beyond 720p.

Maybe I've just been fooled because you sound like you think yourself an expert.

What to believe!?!?!

It's not about bandwidth, if you can stream a Netflix video you can RP. It's about hardware.

If you crank RP to 720@60, DVR stops working.

Great update, but I'm patiently waiting on my customization features Sony.

Pretty please..someone out there in Sony land, let me put up my background with pics and clear my home screen up with folders.

Maybe the limit in resolution on PS4 is due to the dedicated chip for streaming who has 256MB memory. Someone know if it's enough for a 1080p/60fps streaming?

The world of people sheltered from Steam's in home streaming peeks its head.

The resolution limit is directly related the hardware encoder chip in the console. If Sony had put a better chip in there you wouldn't have restrictions like, 60fps -> last 15min recording feature disabled

The wife/kids/pets don't block the best TV in the house all the time, and you want to use that if possible. Besides the fact that I wouldn't want to unplug and move back and forth the PS4 all the time, there is also the question:

Where exactly is the HDMI input on this?

Not sure if discussed already, but does the Friends Notification make a sound, I wouldn't want people jumping in and out to constantly make that notification sound.

Will you be able to stream the PS4 Remote Play into a video program like VLC?

That would be sick if so, I bet someone could engineer that somehow if it's not out-of-the-box like that.

I can't remember the last time Sony put a decent WiFi antenna in one of their PlayStation consoles. That's really the issue.

Well, the PS Store seems to have gotten the rumored overhaul that makes games' store pages look like MS store's stylized look. Not sure I like it.
