Online storage capacity increase — PS4 online storage capacity has increased from 1GB to 10GB for all PS Plus members. In 3.00 system software, you’ll see that we added a handy usage meter to monitor your available storage capacity, and a new Auto-Upload menu has been added to Application Saved Data Management.
YouTube live — PS4 owners will be able to livestream gameplay to YouTube. Livestreams will be viewable across YouTube, including on the new YouTube Gaming mobile app and website.
Events — A new hub for events has been added, giving an overview of activities taking place in the games you play most, as well as official broadcasts. For instance, you may see an update for a Double XP weekend, a special enemy appearing at a scheduled time, or seasonal events like in-game towns being decorated for the winter. You’ll also receive notifications when the event starts, or if the timing changes.
Favorite Groups — Favorite Groups has been added to the Friends app, letting you quickly access groups of people you like to play games with frequently. This will make the process of getting a game session up and running even easier.
Communities — PS4 users will have the ability to create communities based around shared interests, like games, genres, and more. Communities include a message board with general discussion, screenshots shared by players, and the ability to join parties / games. If you want to tackle a big multiplayer raid, but don’t have enough friends available, this could be a great way to connect with other players who are looking for the same thing.
Sharing video clips to Twitter — Users will have the ability to share video clips directly to Twitter. Maximum video length is 10 seconds, though you’ll have the ability to trim longer clips.
Stickers — Tired of typing out messages? With this update, you’ll be able to send stickers to friends through your messages.
Now Playing / What’s New — The Now Playing screen will display even more information about what your friends are doing, and you’ll be able to quickly jump into a game, party, request a screen share, or get sent to the PS Store to buy the game your friend is playing – further enhancing the social relationship with your friends online.
Live from PlayStation — We’ve improved the Live From PlayStation app, making it easier to view popular trending broadcasts in real time.
Request to watch gameplay — Want to view a friend’s gameplay session? Now you can send a ‘Request to Watch’ notification to a player, which will start a live broadcast or Share Play invitation to the person playing.
There’s more included in this update, but that’s a quick glance at some of the items we’re excited about the most. We’ll be back with more info about Kenshin soon, including the launch timing.

Amiga that's some essay.

I especially like the "Request to watch gameplay" option.

I have always wanted to be able to watch my pals play an important FIFA title match, lose it, then rage after.
Looking forward to it

Thanks Amiga

Yeah the 'request to view gameplay' could be good in the Fifa Tournaments on here, being able to watch the big finale!

Cheers for this Amiga some real interesting stuff there that ill look more into when i get home .....

On another note for anyone that is looking to buy a PS4 for crimbo some advice......
The 1TB versions being sold will be the older models of the PS4 that have been used from day 1. However the 500GB versions will be using newer components ... Apparantly it will use about 353% less power in standby and about 25% less power when on. Will run slightly faster. It will also run quieter and a decent bit cooler than the 1TB's. I think it will also have the glossy plate on the top removed making it matte kinda but thats just aesthetics... If you know anyone looking to buy one maybe get them to look into it.

My PS4 is pretty much silent when gaming - not sure how they could get it any quieter??

Although it is a bit cheeky that they are putting the 1TB hard drives in the first PS4's and not the newer models

very cheeky if you ask me!

yup ... im gonna get a 2TB hardrive put in ... there is a shop next to me (where i get my games before release) that will install it for me ..... i get my original drive back and i get a 2 yr warranty with the hardrive... If anything happens with the PS i can take it back get the original fitted again before sending to sony. All for 90 quid including labour 2 TB and fitted for that is pretty damn impressive !

Yeh from what you said if thats the truth, newer model, and then bigger harddisk later on. I have a couple of games on disk a good dozen from plus, as well as quite a few large demos (10gb-30gb a piece) and im prob only half way into my HDD, depends how many physical and digital games you have i suppose.

Back on topic - although these thing are great i just want simple things like being able to make folders and sh iz rather than having my most played (or all) and then the library screen.

lol i DL quite a a lot of my games (cos i share with a buddy) mine was filled a long time ago and have been deleting stuff for the last sorta 5 months !! saying that Battlefield does hammer the diskspace !

Until Dawn was the stick that broke the camels back for me, had to delete a bit of stuff to download it.

I wasn't playing the stuff anyway so no big deal, but I did buy the disc version of MGS to save what little hard drive space I have left.

But still 500gb will do you a few months and get you started - then pick up a bigger drive

To be fair mine is a launch PS4 and I have only just filled it.
