4.0 had a lot more than that. They also completely overhauled the quick menu, increased the size of gameplay clips, and improved system notifications.

Just to be clear, 10GB is shared between your all PS devices [PS3, PS4 and Vita].

Hoping this fixes 2 things:
Being connected via Ethernet to a 200mb fibre router only to take 400 days to download a patch on the abhorrent PSN potato servers after waiting 8 days on PREPARING TO DOWNLOAD to reach 100%
And
The system not crawling to a halt when bringing it up in a game like MWR.

Ps1 games please. I want to throw money at Sony.

That's a hardware issue, which won't be fixed by any software updates.
So either your wifi is complete shit or the server (sonys server) you are trying to connect with is overloaded with too many users trying to hit it at once.

so it looks like from that list, all we are missing is changing PSN ID, increase number of people in party, and custom backgrounds.
I am down for all of those.

I wish they would add the following
-allow a game to be in multiple folders (essentially treating folders as tagging mechanism)
- Support games on an external HDD, I know I can expand my internal drive (I already have to 2tb). Even if they don't let games run directly off it (although that with be annoying). That way I could use a reasonably priced SSD to run games and HDD for storage of them. The way the XB1 handles external drives is fantastic, they should just replicate that model.

External HDD support would be amazing. That was my favorite feature of Xbox One S.

This image comes up in every Sony firmware thread, but I still believe it's a fake. There's only one instance of it appearing on the net (here), and every article that talked about it just used the image as evidence.
No one besides the OP that posted that image ever confirmed that they received that specific questionnaire.
It also reads like pure wishlist wank.

If they wanted to put any kind of effort into whitelisting at least a few key games, this could happen very easily.

Ps1 games would be the best feature.
And custom backgrounds would be welcome aswell, but I'd be happy with more colour options for the standard backgrounds.

Things that are bound to happen, and I hope happens now so I can call PS4 PS4.5:
- Gamertag change. This is already soft-implemented in the back end, and devs are encouraged and aware of this.
- External HDD: It's about time, Sony. You have zero reasons not to when even Nintendo is offering 2TB of external space.
- Console-wide supersampling for Non-Patched PS4 Pro titles. C'mon, Sony. Let us use that power however we want to, add a cap to it, and let the hardware/software work the magic. Provide a warning sign at every boot that games may be unstable compared to its Of state.
- PS1 emulation support. Not sure WTF you're waiting for when my shitty phone can do it too. Embrace your legacy!
- Customizing themes. Change background picture or music or tones to default setting for any theme. Add more font options, and more color options.
- Adding more options to sidebar (aka holding the PS button), like shortcuts to games or any other app, and even better, providing more options within like "Launch single player" or "Launch Multiplayer" for those games. Or adding things like Twitter feed to the sidebar/PS menu.
- Ability to upload content within PSN Browser to sites like e.g. imgur or streamable.
- Ability to play PSTV compatible PSVita titles. C'mon, Sony! Do it!!!!

This will require them to work them to put thropies and you'll have to rebuy them, they will cost more and you'll get only a few of them. I'd rather have an emulator to play them as they are

Not to be Devils advocate but I think placing down sampling at os level would be bad because then companies would just be lazy and half ass the pro versions of games. Let it be done on a game by game basis. Stop being so nitpicky because you can't play old ps4 games with slight improvements. A big number of new games are taking advantage of the features of the pro.
My wish list for new ps4 /psn features:
Game gifting
Public/Private Wishlist integrated into a more social and interactive profile page
Sales alerts from wish lists
PS2 PS1 BC
Custom Backgrounds and static themes(realistic).
Oovoo
DS4 light customization. On/off
4k media support in media player.
Jeff Rigby 4k UHD Bluray patch.. lol
Begin recording time spent in game at OS level.
Notification theme customization
Viki app... lol

Only if they first free up a lot of the names squatted on. Since accounts are free, people often created several to catch several good names. I have friends who are sitting on a handful of good accounts but are not their main.
At this point I would rather they take the steam approach and separate display name from game name and filter it down into games. Right now display name is for PSN dash only.

I was part of the PlayStation Voice programme. PM me your email address and I'll happily forward to you every single one of their emails to me. This won't provide the proof you seek of the questionnaire, but it will at least show you that I was sent invitations to join in such research.
I am pretty sure I also posted screens of a questionnaire which asked about improvements coming to the Media Player. Some of the stuff brought up in that got implemented too,

Stuff I'd love:
- Pinning games/apps to the main screen
- Customisable number of items in the main menu (X pinned items followed by Y "recent" items)
- "Purchased" library tab shouldn't show stuff that's already installed
- Hide purchases (e.g. old demos/betas)
- Single button press shortcut for library from anywhere in the UI (Triangle?)
- Single press button shortcut for search while in library
- Kill that awful built-in media folder that shows a bunch of stuff I don't have and can't be reordered
- Wishlist with notifications for price drops
And finally the two big ticket items that would really help me out as a heavy user but I'm not holding my breath for:
- USB storage support
- Cloud save overhaul (auto-sync between any number of consoles, not just automated backup from primary console)
- Pinning games/apps to the main screen
- Customisable number of items in the main menu (X pinned items followed by Y "recent" items)

Maybe not Pro support for all games but a white list of one's that don't break running under pro mode to improve performance.

I wonder if that YouTube VR 360/3D app update (1.09) that went up early for people quick enough to grab it is an indicator of some parts of the firmware update (especially related to PSVR).

Playing PS2 discs would be nice. Also I'd love it if they would update the PS2 emulator on PS4.
