Yesssss, now time to fix the save data issue so we can back them up without having to back the entire game.
 
Does PS4 have folders?

No other industry celebrates folder updates as much.

I recall reading MS hyping folder updates before I think it was Windows XP coming out. Transparent windows that let you kind of see higher or other levels or some such. Also something with the hierarchy that I wouldn't understand.
 
One day, a game console OS will come with folders at launch. On that day, dictators will weep in shame and repentance, warlords will lay down their arms, the destitute will be lifted out of poverty, and the world will know what it is to have eternal peace.

Downloading the update now, now my screen can look decent for once

Edit: After looking at the download time due to my internet connection being shaky the past few days, I guess it was not meant to be tonight :(

*Goes to play HW instead*
 
And the Wii U's interface inches a step closer to having the same functionality already present on the 3DS interface. PROGRESS!
