Wow that's pretty bad then. Especially for a full number update.
I hope Sony starts putting more money into the firmware dev team.

We can edit our avatars from the ps4. We just can't purchase any new avatars or change to avatars we purchased through the PS3 App Store from the ps4. It's so stupid

No its cool stuff...but folders and more customization in general have been asked for since launch basically. The name change thing was addressed at least, shu said it was an engineering problem and not even probable to be fixed.I guess I'm one of the few that are actually excited for some of the features they're bringing in this update.
Though I'm lucky in that I created my PSN name only 2 years ago
But the UI needs updating and tweaks and its not at the bottom of any blogspolls. If Sony is paying attention it's pretty obvious.
I hope some negative feedback gets back to shu on this and they add in the most requested features, even if it means pushing back the release of 3.0

I never trusted you since the meeting. I was right not to do so.

Sony is simply doing it wrong. Sorry guys, I play on my PS4 everyday, but I'm sick of the lack of basic features.
-People want friend notifications.
-People want folders (I have over 20 digital titles...everything is unorganized)
-People want to change their PSN Id's (some of us have had the same one since 2008)
-People want Pins/Bookmarks for their favorite apps.
Really...should it be this difficult? It's been almost two years since the PS4 has been out.

If anything this should jump start the #BetterPSN campaign again, it's been dwindling for 2 weeks now. We know at least Shu is listening indirectly responding to a few posts.
There's probably more. The last firmware beta only had some network/new functionality features included and there was more in the full release. There could also be significant improvements on the dev side that could it make a full numbered version release which we wouldn't be privy too.

Yea the list is honestly not that long on what to fix. Folders custom background and some UIApp tweaks is all that's needed. I'll wait since this isn't an official announcement, but its pretty clear what fans are clamoring for. Really feels like that poster who said
Fans ask for A B C D
Sony gives us W X Z M2
Smh..when will the plystation division get top tier software developers for there hardware.

Even more basic stuff like changing backgrounds and purchasing avatars or access premium avatars purchased on the PS3.

What about a notification that tells me that friend xY is online?
Imo the PS4 OS needs a redesign. If they really want all this social crap, it needs to look better.
The Xbone OS handles this better IMO. Its easy to see what friends share etc.
On PS4 its just a clusterfuck.
I hope some day, sony will get a Firmware team in the west. So that we can get stuff faster and more functional.

I swear man....I'm sick of notifications not being there and me checking my list everyone hour to see who's on. Please let this be added already.
Pretty much this. Before you target specific users that might benefit from share features like twitter and youtube videos/broadcasting, you should improve the quality for all users, by introducing features everyone will benefit from.
Stick with the basics.

Wow that change-list is brutal when you look over at what Microsoft is doing with their new OS overhaul, how did this even get a .0.

YES To youtube. time to make use of that!
That's not true. The last major beta (for firmware 2.50) revealed everything, including suspend, button mapping and 60fps remoteplay.
I kind of think the reason they're taking a while with it is that they'd rather not have it simply just emulate a PS1 in its own environment like the PS3. They'd probably rather be able to include Share features and all that stuff.

Yeah true. Feel the same way less content in this than a typical monthly update from MS. Sony needs to step their software game way up

The best part is this will be the last major firmware update until March of next year, judging by the way Sony's been doing these.
They do one major update every 3 months or so.

Looks great, but doesn't sound too stable.
Youtube and twitter videos are awesome news for me.
I want to disable per friend the 'this random friend started a party / is online / etc' notifications

button assignments was mentioned before the 2.50 update. the fact remains that this is a very uninspired update and the XB1 gets these kinds of updates almost every month.
I expect the next FW after this to arrive some time in Fall or Winter. the features in these updates doesn't justify the amount of time it takes to implement them. the only explanation I can think of is that the FW team is very small, single digits small.
Nah its 2 major updates a year.
And log in notifications
More likely The Universe to end than Sony to let US Change our ID's

I welcome any improvements to the Friends/Social/Party system.
Sounds kind of like Miiverse.

I want to view trophies while offline.
Is no good reason we cannot do this.

This is the biggest missing feature, IMHO.
Also, the Capture Gallery and Live From PlayStation apps need to be permanently placed somewhere on the UI; otherwise, you have to dig though your library to find them.
Oh, and speaking of the Library: PLEASE STOP SHOWING THE ALPHAS, BETAS, DEMOS, TRIALS, ETC. So lame.

Nice list. Like being able to trash talk in activities, like on the vita.
The OS is already solid. As long as they keep the clutter down it's all good.
....oh and give peeps their friend on/off notifications. Everything else in these wish lists are subjective.

Xbone needs a new dash though.
Is it 3 months? Feels like it's been six. 3.0 won't hit until September most likely, when was the last big one?
*checks wiki*
2.5 was March, so about six months between 2.5 and 3.0.
2.0 was October 2014, so about six months...
1.7 was April, so another six month gap. Well, at least 1.75 added 3D bluray, so that would be a 3 month interval there, if you count that as a major update.
1.6 was February, but that was a fairly minor bugfix update, mainly added wireless headphone support.
It's basically six months. It was a bit faster at launch with a few smaller updates like 1.6, but the big ones have been every six months since it came out. I don't think any of us are counting stability updates here.
