It's a good choice and you will see a big benefit.
The sony guide is useful and explains everything:

Just make sure you download the correct software for your region US/EU etc... and that it's the version for a new installtion.

Press the options button when you have a game with 0% trophies selected and press delete

is anyone having any issues with the firmware.. i think it broke the video signal on my ps4.
updated fine, upon reboot it's unable to get a video feed. I just get a flickering as the screen goes black trying to load into the signal.

Awesome, thanks. I just ordered it.

Updated both without any problems!
FUCKING WIN. PS4 boots quickly into OS even if there is not game suspended. Previously, suspend mode booted itself for a minute. Now it's just few seconds.
Boot PS4 by pressing power button for ~7 seconds until you hear 2 beeps. In the Safe Mode you will have options to force PS4 to boot once in 480p resolution, which would be compatible with every display.

I tried that and the tv switches to 480p but i'm still getting a black flickering with no actual discernible video output.

Updated PS4 this morning (Vita tonight, hopefully). No issues. Suspend/resume will definitely help me cheese through Hotline Miami 2 Hard Mode.

Does any of the button customizing options work with remote play
Very strange. I just tried waiting 30 minutes after putting it in suspend (from Online Mode) and could immediately continue.
If you use other things it will lose its placement due to the way recency influences the icon placement.

i tried it with wolfenstein and the difference is huge. does it make a difference for 30fps games? (ie. less input lag?)

Yep, 3 hours still to go for me and that was on 366gb. Mind you, presumably this will take just as long to copy back onto the new drive too.
Oh well, it's meant I've fired up the Wii U for the first time in a while

Just played a round of COD:AW on the Vita using the 60fps mode.
Man I wish Declassified would run like that lol
This update is osm.

I tried infamous and it seemed smoother, although maybe that is just the placebo effect.
Wut.
Probably already mentioned, but I only followed the thread the first few pages.
I'm downloading Bloodborne and the background download portion now shows up in the download notification area as "Application Data" after the first 5 GB has been downloaded.
Finally we can pause background downloads!

It might be that my router is a bit too slow at picking up the console connection, and Bb wants it like right away.
How do I get my games back on? I have to download each one again?
I am assuming to save my game data to the cloud is a better/faster idea? I have PS+

That actually is a big deal. I see Sony is continuing with their tradition of not announcing all the new firmware features.
I can't try the PS4 firmware yet because I am away for holidays at the moment. Upgrading Vita as we speak!

PSA: if you find yourself experiencing "black crush" after the update, check your video output settings and make sure they're all set to "automatic." I had mine manually set to 1080p/RGB Limited before because that's what gave me accurate colors, but on the new FW those settings gave me Xbone-style black crush. After switching everything to automatic and rebooting I'm back to normal.

Wait, you can put games on an external HDD like the Xbone? That's amazing, why is no one talking about this?
Nah I severely doubt you'd cause any issues to your PS4. Suspend/Resume was built with the idea of being away from your console for even longer than 12 hours.
Electric bill is your only concern and even that is minuscule
Thanks!
I tried it a bit with Diablo III, and it's amazing.
It takes the same amount of time to resume a game as it takes for my TV to turn on.

Didn't know you could manually resign buttons on the vita too. That's great.
It's a simple backup utility, for when you want to upgrade the internal HDD.
You can't play games off the external.

I didn't change any settings in the power options and tried the suspend/resume feature. Took less than 15 seconds to get back into my Bloodborne game. Had to go to work so I haven't seen what my settings are, but it seemed awfully quick!

customizing UI text shadow colour makes several themes actually readable now
New update is amazing. Everything is so smooth and fast. And I noticed a little nice new touch too. When you boot from suspend into the game you have now a blue bar on the top that shows you the upper part of the XMB like friends, notifications, clock and so on. Hope Sony expands this for messages and trophies. It's great when such smaller infos get laid over the main screen without the need to switch completely back to XMB.

Do you have to pause the game or the console does that automatic when you rest mode? Cause i can see rest mode changing the finishing time of a game to much more
I was on Bloodborne and retreated into the Hunter's Dream before putting it in standby. I imagine it pauses most games though.
Have you tried resuming like hours later, most online games will eventually disconnect you
So I have a new HD coming. How would I best go about putting it in with these new changes? The PS update page was not ...... updated.

I'm honestly a little disappointed in this update. Suspend/resume is nice (mostly just the quicker resume for me), but there's really not much else there in my daily use of the console. I was really hoping for better copy functionality of save data. It's currently an incredibly monotonous process and necessary because of the 1gb cloud storage limit. Although they did fix the issue with slow speed of copying large files to usb. For some reason my LPB3 save used to take nearly an hour to copy to my USB stick but is now down to about 20 seconds.
Use the backup utility in the PS4 settings to backup all your data to an external HDD.
Switch out the internal HDD.
Then I would imagine you'll get an option to restore your data when booting up on the new HDD.
