Spotify isn't going to be available in game is it?
It should be, it replaces Music Unlimited which is available in game.
Edit: beaten

Can I see when my friends sign in yet?
In addition to this, I hope they eventually save those screenshots on their servers. It would be neat to have the moment I get the trophies permanently attached to my account
this is a pretty megaton update IMO. after they add mkv support + release a remote + better game library organizing i'm completely satisfied with the OS.
I agree on increasing the cloud size save limit but why should Sony offer this PS+ benefit to everyone? Sony wants people to subscribe to PS+.First they should increase the cloud save size to unlimited and make it free to non-PS+ subscribers.
The service it's replacing was, so I would expect it would be.

No. They usually announce this.I wonder if there's any chance it will be available tomorrow, seeing as there was maintenance yesterday?
Thats the only feature that I want. Not sure why this has not been added yet.
I agree that they shouldn't have to provide the service for free. However, 1GB size for PS+ users is horribly insufficient considering the 3 platforms that can use it and that many games can have save states/files/whatever into 100s of MB.
Unlimited may not be possible but at the least 10GB or so per user should be doable. While storage is not free, it's getting to be relatively inexpensive at cloud scales (if you look at the major vendors like AWS, Azure and others).
Sony seems surprisingly backwards on some of it's networking features so hopefully with the large influx of PS4 gamers they will have to do something about the save size limits.

I want the appear offline feature already. That, DLNA and let me bloody disable "X just joined a party". It completely messes me up in FIFA or BF.

You can disable Party notification since update 1.7

i would wait until 8pm PST for the update tonight. why wait until tomorrow.
Because Microsoft and Steam are offering it for free?
Cloud storage is rather inexpensive these days, especially when you put a limit on file sizes. No one would even reach insane sizes, Microsoft knows this so they only advertise it as "unlimited" because it sounds cool, but in reality it is dynamic. Probably like 20GB to start, and then adapts to how much you use, which is where the inexpensive part comes in.
Cloud storage for unlimited games seems reasonable simply because they get paid for every game you buy.
You know why MS, Valve, Google and Apple can offer free storage? Because they have a massive footprint of infrastructure, with spare storage capacity. That's how they can provide storage for free. Sony have a really small infrastructure footprint. They're just not in the same ballpark.
Back in 2004 when Google shocked the world with offering an incredible 1GB storage in Gmail wasn't because they'd gone out and purchased Petabytyes of storage to give away out of the goodness of their own hearts. They already had this spare storage on their massive server farms used for search. MS are in teh same boat with their enormous Azure capacity. Apple are getting their with all their iCloud investment. Valve have been scaling up their infrastructure since they started Steam.
I have 160 people on my friend's list, and most of them are quite active gamers. If I got a popup every time somebody logs in or out, there would be no 20 second period without a notification going off.Thats the only feature that I want. Not sure why this has not been added yet.

the tech and apis exist to allow people to upload saves to those services though. a dropbox or google drive upload option would certainly lighten the burden of storing saves for sony. especially if using 3rd party cloud solutions can avoid the 1gb limit

Is there any way to control what gets uploaded on the PS4?Unlimited isn't necessary, and giving it away for free certainly isn't. But given that PS4 gamesaves can be 50MB or more, only having 1GB is just ridiculous though.
Nonsense. How would this enable savegame editing any more than being able to copy saves to a USB drive.This would bascially open all doors for savegame editing which may be OK for SP games but if you play Multiplayer this is just horrible ;-)

I just picked up a PS4 this week and when I checked my uploaded game storage, I had a few 10MB files and then Driveclub with 300+MB. It seems the majority of that space is ghost and replay data, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to filter (at the game or OS level) what gets uploaded.
I'm not out of space yet, but considering I'm almost 50% there in only one week, I think I could easily hit the cap pretty quickly once I pick up some more games.

I have 160 people on my friend's list, and most of them are quite active gamers. If I got a popup every time somebody logs in or out, there would be no 20 second period without a notification going off.
What I would like, however, is to have game based triggers: if I am playing Destiny, it would be cool to get an alert when one of my friends launches it.
At the moment, though, I'm quite satisfied at checking my friends list at launch, invite somebody to a party and join their game. Friend login alerts wouldn't really serve any purpose.

Absolute bullshit. It's no riskier than already being able to copy saves to a USB.
They'd obviously implement some sort of tier system, where you mark the important people in your friends list and such.
Any stories of peoples PS4's bricking or getting banned for downloading the beta from that proxy?
Thanks. If/when I have enough game saves to hit the limit I guess I'll choose what to upload.Go to your saves in settings, pick the Upload to PS Plus then press option on whatever save you want and choose Auto upload off.
Yo, when is Sony going to fix the no friends avatar situation all over the UI? It's been happening since two firmware updates ago. I know I'm not the only one with the issue. It's not a big problem or anything but just looks bad.
Bloodborne turned out to be the long awaited suspend and resume function!
I suspended my PS4 months ago and have finally resumed playing on it again!
