I know y'all are all excited for this, but calm down!

What? I'm not excited for this. I said such in this very thread. I asked you a question based on your post, though, which you haven't answered.

Finally now everyone can stop talking about this feature and get to the real meat and potatos of FW updates.

Where's my friend notifications Soony?!

Hahaha you Xboners are losing features to hold over us! One by one we close the gap, watch your backs!


Since people are ignoring my follow up post, this obviously isn't a serious post.

Did 1.74 break something for someone? Also, I wish they'd only announce new updates the day before or day of. The coming soon nonsense is getting old. It's not like it's adding a ton of features either. Is there anyone really waiting for 3D movie playback? Give me suspend/resume already. That's a feature I'll actually use. PEACE.
 
YESSSSSSS.

DNLA would be nice too, but 3D blu ray support means I officially don't need my PS3 for watching discs anymore.

Still think the PS3 playback interface/UI is vastly superior, and oddly...quicker. But oh well. I'll take this

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this!

Not really, I don't have a 3DTV... GImme stability!

Will it be before August?

Lamest update so far. I'm glad for the 3d tv guys though. I mean give us DLNA and mp3 bitches.
I'm looking at this optimistically if 3D playback is part of what is usually an incremental change when 1.80 finally arrives (soon) it will have the good stuff.
 
did anyone have problems with their profile picture after the last update? I just have mine setup to use whatever my facebook pic is but after I updated my pic just shows up as a black box of with one of those uh... circles with the line through it haha

Thought I was the only one... I DON'T NEED ANY MOAR STABILITY SONY. GOD DAMN IT.

Ugh i don't really care about 3d blu ray support...just give me better updates like everyone says suspend/resume or youtube things that really matter.

That is nice and all, but suspend/resume to me is a bigger omission, it is something they touted during the initial reveal in february 2013. I am very curious what is taking so long with this feature, or more importantly what the hold up is. There must be a serious technical or business barrier to Sony not pushing out suspend/resume.
 
this is nice-been wanting that 3D Blu ray support for a minute-I just hope the disc load times are faster than ps3. ain't nobody got time for dat!

It is really sad, though, that the first feature-adding firmware took three months, and it's only adding one minor bit of functionality.
 
Probably was implemented already as part of a bigger update for the fall. Now they have to shove it out quickly, because Xbox is giving them a lot of pressure. Glorious competition.

The probability of this having been a random happenstance that the PS4 firmware update for 3D Bluray support would happen within days of the XB1 update is low, in my opinion. By the same token, I don't think this is something that could have been thrown together in a few days, so I think my opinion may be off-base.

Edit: I take that back. Now seeing that the update isn't live yet, I'm back to assuming this is reactionary. It bothers me that its release was motivated by anything other than the platform-holder itself. Broader griping aside, this is still good news.
 
How soon are we talking here?

Why not just skip 1.74 yesterday and bundle it all into 1.75?

My guess is that this isn't as soon as people think. Maybe a month.

Didn't they take a long time to release that major update with Sharefactory? I feel like it was weeks after announcement by the time it showed up

I know they're trying to not get outpaced by MS and everything, but...DLNA. For the love of Jebus, give us some media options.

Yes, I know it's coming. But I want it now. To me, everything else comes second, especially useless cosmetic changes like changing the colour of the background.

I just... why? I mean, it needs to be added, but an update just for that feature alone? Right after they just released an update?

I mean, it's good news. There was always going to be feature parity at some point (not there yet of course). But I mean, they had to know that this would look like a reactionary move right?

Sony really baffles me with their firmware updates. Nintendo and Microsoft seem to be much better about actually doing things with their updates and not seemingly "reacting" to someone elses update. Feels odd saying that givne that you would have thought last year before PS4 came out that it would be #1 for adding new features to the firmware in a timely manner.
