Forgive my ignorance but can someone explain the HDCP thing? Is this only if you use a capture card? I thought you could already use capture cards

So...where are all the people who claimed they were sitting back doing nothing because they're in the lead?

Some people don't like having to use/buy a HDCP stripper when recording from their console.

All I need is my mp3 playback/custom background and I'm good.

Honestly, I'm just glad Sony is finally giving us an update on what they are doing, lol. I guess we'll see this update in April (most likely).

Yes. You could already use them, but you would need an hdcp stripper. After this update the ps4 will officially support capture cards.
 
720p streams? Awesome. They're ~600p now, right?

Really curious about the video editor too. I wonder how "rich" it'll be.

960x540 actually. And the editor will probably be Sony Vegas (extra?) lite or something. I wouldn't expect too much.

Regardless, this will be a good update and is definitely a step in the right direction.

NTFS for USB I hope.

It better be. I don't want to format any HDD to FAT16/32.
 
Now of the stuff left on the checklist, whats left?

For me, it's DLNA, MP3, and 3D Blu Support. Then done!

Edit: Oooh Suspend/Resume too

A nice strong start, still missing DNLA more than I thought I would, but here's hoping it wont be long. Glad to see shared content not reliant on twitter/facebook.

They need to fix their non-exsistant download management, this is easily their most glaring issue, fuck a pause would be a start. Also, give us patch priority game by game and disable options too. I really like aspects of the sleep mode, but don't need another 6GB Blacklight patch on my capped plan, if and when I wanna bring that game up to date should be my choice, I'd rather not have to delete it wholesale.

Holy shit, calm down.

Hm, well MP3 support seems to be an easy thing to patch in seeing you can already listen to ANY music from their subscription service while playing a game.

And it really is one of my most wanted features. I was pretty pissed off when they revealed that there wasn't going to be MP3 support on my 400 euro next gen console.

Ah good, finally some news. Two of the things I want is exporting videos and a proepr video editor, and here's hoping they fix the iffy recording that likes to play up in certain games, good news all around though.

Yeah, I fucks with video export. If y'all could just go ahead and flip that 3D blu-ray switch that'd be great.

So we can finally get screenshots in highest quality without having to do that send in a message to yourself bullshit?

Sounds pretty cool, I like the ability to save stuff onto a USB.

Anyone remember ps3 at launch? Had to quit game to see your friends no in game xmb, was just brutal, now today there has to be 50x the amount of features on the system. can't wait to see what ps4 looks like in 5 years.

Jesus titty fucking Christ kid, you bought one hell of an expensive mp3 player.

Nah, I bought a gaming machine that is able to playback music in the background but Sony wants me to subscribe to their horrible Music Unlimited service while I have a perfectly great collection of music of my own. My most used function on the Xbox 360 was playing my own music in the background.

And forgive me for thinking that a 400 euro machine could have the same media capabilities as my old PS3 did. I'm not saying copy the code, but it's probably easy as hell to add MP3 playback.

USB Exporting is going to be a blessing for me. Now I don't have to do obscure account gymnastics just to get an image to go physically half a foot to my computer. >_>;
 
Wow great news. Not what I expected, but surprised at the features. Looking forward when we finally get notifications, MP3 and Video playback, back. And we good SONY.
 
Their worldwide shipping will be in such disarray now that they're pulling all those engineers back from the warehouse to start fixing the OS!

Seriously, I will not complain about this, even though I don't use the sharing much. Excited to see the rest of the list!

Does HDCP Off mean that when I broadcast my game, my Music Unlimited songs will go over through the stream as well?
