Never happening. Sony's fear of piracy borderlines on the criminally paranoid.

 

[Krakatoa]

External hard drives please.

 

[wetflame]

Never happening. Sony's fear of piracy borderlines on the criminally paranoid.

Perhaps they could limit it to only launch when you're signed in as the owner for games on the external drive? Is piracy an issue for installed games on internal hdds?

 

[Transistor]

Never happening. Sony's fear of piracy borderlines on the criminally paranoid.

Considering what happened with the PS3 with Game Sharing and the PSP with rampant piracy, I really can't blame them for locking down their ecosystem more.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Toggle option for the what's new feed to go back to the old version (see ps app on tablets)

As wetflame said the internal drive is already locked down. It's just paranoia that has them not want to do external support. Even though there is that ridiculous tumour addon from Nyko is it?

I think Sony are more paranoid that external support somehow opens up their OS to a bug (USB piracy addon or something) than anyone actually doing anything with the drive itself. Considering Sony have a legacy of exploitable FW.

A new system update is coming??? Nice!

Not gonna happen man.
Sorry

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

i would rather have a region/country change option than PSN Name option, even if they leave it as 1 time thing only

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Done!

 

[Vashetti]

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[androvsky]

Joining the beta will break remote play until it is officially released, right?

Not always, but it's likely. The last beta broke remote play for PC, but not Vita. Sony so far has been good about warning if remote play will break before you install.

 

[FlashFlooder]

Thanks. Here's to hoping for 3D VR capability in the Media Player.

Literally the only thing I want from this update.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Thanks OP 👍👏🙂

 

[Militaratus]

Applied for it, hope I get selected. Though I've never been selected for it. Maybe it also has some PSVR functionality that I can test?

 

[joeblow]

I guess the past firmwares have done a great job since I have no interest in any of the main requests mentioned here so far. I'm not sure what I'd specifically want, tbqh.

 

[jabberwocker]

Unless this opened up something like Bluetooth compatibility I would have no real interest in this the current os seems fine ATM for me.

 

[viHuGi]

Already???

 

[NealMcCauley]

Signed up. Looking forward to seeing the changes.

Not happening, at least on launch hardware.

 

[tusken77]

Nice. Ability to choose notification colour, please.

 

[Button]

4.5? Seems major.

 

[Lionheart]

Already???

Hmm, yeah, they seem to be doing two updates each year with PS4 and last year's beta sign up started mid February, so they're a month early. Smaller update?

 

[th4tguy]

Nice! Totally getting name changes right? ...guys?

 

[iamsirjoshua]

It's that time again. This will be the name change one. I can feel it.

That and game statistics (hours played) is all I really want.

I'm with you on the second one. The PS4 is the only major system that doesn't provide you with these stats, although it is tracking them.

 

[Noisepurge]

All I want is a small symbol on the home screen to indicate that a game is pro-enabled. Just something in the corner of the game icon. Pls sony.

seems quite excessive as all new and upcoming games are pro-enabled

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

seems quite excessive as all new and upcoming games are pro-enabled

That what I was thinking when I read that. I think adding the pro support title to the games bio in the PS store is enough.

 

[Hasney]

Nice! Totally getting name changes right? ...guys?

If they can within the infrastructure (and that SDK did hint that they may have cracked it), they will. They're leaving money on the table right now.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Done! Hopefully this will bring PS1 Classics, external HDD support, and universal down sampling for 1080p displays on PS4Pro.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

If they can within the infrastructure (and that SDK did hint that they may have cracked it), they will. They're leaving money on the table right now.

Agreed.

They know people want it and they can get more money from it. It is just a matter of figuring out how to get it to work.

 

[RPGamer92]

Activity log plz.

 

[Nesther]

I don't even really know what I want from it.

Maybe PSN wishlist and gifting?

Activity log plz.

Oh yeah that would be cool too.

 

[Pennywise]

Gotta sell those 2tb consoles bruh


Also I LITERALLY JUST RECEIVED MY 2TB HDD AFTER YEARS OF STRUGGLE DON'T DO THIS TO ME SONY OR I'LL BE HELLA SALTY

Don't worry Ticky.
2tb is enough for now.

I don't even really know what I want from it.

Maybe PSN wishlist and gifting?

There is a wishlist, no idea if it works on the browser only.

 

[TalonJH]

I felt like it was about that time. Signed up.

 

[icespide]

i always get excited for new firmware but i rarely actually use new features

 

[Nesther]

Nah there's no PS4 wish list. Just the browser one, that kind of sucks (doesn't even remove the game once you bought it.)

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Same here. I wanted folders so bad and I don't use em.

 

[Sephzilla]

give us name changing

 

[dracula_x]

the only feature I need – http://share.blog.us.playstation.com/ideas/2013/12/30/time-spent-playing/

 

[foxbeldin]

The only feature i really want is preloading of day-one patches for physical purchases but it's probably never happening.

 

[Dropline]

Thanks OP!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Same here. I wanted folders so bad and I don't use em.

I figure that is the case for many people.

I wasn't so big on folders prior to the last update but I ended up using them to clean up my dashboard pretty well.

[Darkchaser3]

hope i get picked been 0 and 3 so far with these also please PSN name change, external HDD support, PS1/PS2 disc support, Video chatting would be nice too

 

[Memnoch]

Just signed up!

 

[DarkConfidant]

Backwards compatibility would make me sign up so quick.

I don't believe, though.

I just hope they let you folks change your names.

 

[skynidas]

Wishlist:

* Name change.
* Hours spent per game.
* Trophy progress counter. (If you need to kill 10 enemies, it should tell you how many you have killed already)

None of these should be hard to implement. Except name change but from what I have been hearing they already cracked it and are just putting the final touches on it.

 

[foxdvd]

the amount of money Sony would make at 10 bucks a pop for name changes would be insane...
