[Fliesen]

Oh wow!
I need to buy some now.

oh FUCK, i just realized that i actually have a 3D bluray (SW:TFA 3D)... gonna try it out when 4.50 releases.

 

[GamingPheasant]

I was wrong about this, but i won't eat crow. Enough crows have been eaten.

EDIT: I can finally move PT off the main HDD.

[Lifeline]

No, time played feature? Damn, I was hoping those emails that some people got were teasing the feature.

 

[steven28]

really pleased for custom wallpapers.

 

[bunkitz]

FUCK YEAH EXTERNAL HDD

Don't have a spare 3.0, though... Guess I'll just have to buy a new one. Would prefer it over buying a new internal one anyway.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Can someone please post the features here?

3D Blu Rays on a PSVR is pretty dope actually.

Seriously. Bring on Dredd with perfect 3D.

 

[CD'S BAR]

AND custom wallpapers. We did it everyone..

 

[jmaine_ph]

External HDD is great news, shame it needs to hang out the front of the console.

Not if you have the PS4 PRO 😌

 

[chronic_archaic]

Not a PS4 owner but holy fuck they actually did it.

 

[Purdy]

Thank fuck for that, was considering upgrading mine recently but external will do beautifully. Good job Sony, although it took you way too long the fact you offer both internal and external expansion is fantastic.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Custom Wallpapers finallyyyy

 

[Brannon]

New thing to harp on about... where's my downsampling option Sony? Y'all be slackin' off here *taps foot*

 

[Zaventem]

Changing names is still not possible, so...

PS5 #believe. But yeah it's sl stange how this feature has been actively avoided even afte microsoft makes a killing on it.

 

[tonypark]

Omfg! Just in time! Amazing! Thank you sony finally!!!

 

[LiK]

external HDD support is the biggest thing. no more people complaining about it.

 

[SargerusBR]

No option to customize the tiles yet?

 

[privitsan02]

Now you have both options, hopefully it stops the bickering.

 

[breakfuss]

Not if you have the PS4 PRO 😌

Yea I was about to ask if there were any in the back. Man this is freaking awesome. So many games I can reinstall now.

 

[Lancelot]

This is f. awesome!

But give me the PRO obligatory downsampling too!

 

[Solrac]

this is fake for sure, there is no mention to stability

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Megaton omg! I didn't realise how handy externals were till I got an Xbox One.

 

[Jigolo]

POST ON OUR ACTIVITY FEEDS? SHOULD"VE BEEN THERE SINCE DAY 1

 

[Sidewinder]

Very nice!! I already have a 2TB installed, but could come in handy in the future.

3D BDs is very cool too, sucks that I can't play any blu-ray movies at all since I installed the new HDD and transferred all my data.

Please 3D sbs video support for PSVR!!1

 

[nowhoney]

This is a pretty fucking great update. I was just talking about external HDD support with a buddy the other day -- going to be sweet upgrading to a huge drive.

The other stuff's pretty cool too -- especially custom backgrounds and the updated quick menu. Awesome stuff.

 

[EmiPrime]

I kind of wish I had gone for a SSD instead of a SSHD now! 240GB SSD plus a large external hard drive would have been better. Oh well, I wasn't to know.

 

[bobawesome]

BIG BOOBY ANIME GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLLLYYYYYYYY!!!

 

[kadotsu]

Simplified notification seems weird. I would prefer for Downloads to be completely decoupled from notifications in favor of a separate download manager with queue management, bandwidth limiting and scheduling.

 

[madmackem]

External HDD is great news, shame it needs to hang out the front of the console.

Pro has one on the back doesn't it?.

 

[Caayn]

External HDD Support
Upto 8tb

Whoo, Sony has seen the light. Will the external drives be interchangeable between consoles like how the XB1 handles them, or will they be tied to the console that formatted them.

I wonder how the people who didn't want external support will react.

Pro has one on the back doesn't it?.

Correct, PS4 Pro has a rear USB port.

 

[ch4fx_]

This is the part where I ask for suggestions on which HDD to pick up? I know it has to be 3.0, but should I be looking for a particular brand?

 

[NekoFever]

That's a cool way to handle 3D Blu-rays now that most 4K TVs don't support 3D.

 

[AuthenticM]

cool! I don't use external drives, but I'm happy for the people who want to!

 

[Linkstrikesback]

this is fake for sure, there is no mention to stability

Stability is so 2015 (seriously check the other update threads). It's about quality now, and the quality of those updates speaks for themselves.

 

[Oppo]

External HDD is great news, shame it needs to hang out the front of the console.

not on PS4 Pro though

anyways once you are all digital, what is the "front", really.

 

[tommyguns]

YES! About time. Great update

 

[Plague Doctor]

External HDD? SWEET!

 

[jmaine_ph]

They really seem to be tackling that list of features from the email. PSN name changes is like the last thing on that list correct?

 

[ctfg23]

Holy shit yes

 

[acidagfc]

External drives? Shiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeet! Awesome news!

 

[SmartWaffles]

MEGATON.

Although the lack of back USB ports in OG PS4s means my external HDD will have to hang out of the front... Plus my ports are already occupied by the headset adapter and the brook adapter...

 

[Carn82]

"Just plug a USB 3.0 HDD"

Boo, I only have 2.0's lying around ;(

 

[danowat]

Omg omg omg omg.

This is what I've been waiting for!!!!!

 

[Oppo]

MEGATON.

Although the lack of back USB ports in OG PS4s means my external HDD will have to hang out of the front...

you guys need to discover the joys of L-shaped USB plugs.

It's 2017 bro.

 

[spindashing]

[BTHR Zero X]

By Odin's beard! External HDD Support praise Talos!

 

[TheKingOfPain]

Nice, I hope I'll have the chance to try the beta.

 

[Kai Ozu]

Omg thank you Sony for FINALLY getting around to external HDD support.
