Talking of USB's is there not an official USB hub for the PS4 yet? Having two USB's this gen is a bit irritating as I'm constantly switching to charge my controller, headset and Bluetooth connector for my headset.

This thing is awesome and worth every penny.

 

[dwr budr]

are all territories getting free themes? nothing in the UK store and I don't really want to create any other accounts.

 

[wotta]

Themes will likely come in the PS Store Update tomorrow, as will the YouTube App. You can still upload to YouTube now though.

 

[Revolutionary]

Watching an Advanced Warfare stream going on right now and seeing people begging to SharePlay has given me an idea for a new SharePlay business model..

$5 for an hour of prerelease gameplay! Lol

Didn't even know that existed haha! Nice one will pick that up.

2 extra USB ports at the back would have been perfect. Why the fuck Sony thought 2 was enough is beyond me, especially after they switched to 2 with the PS3 revisions. People must have complained.

 

[TheKingOfPain]

So, they added "check for updates".

 

[toythatkills]

Put my PS4 into Rest Mode and the orange light just kept pulsing for about half an hour. It wasn't downloading anything, so this was weird. I tried to turn the PS4 on but the controller just turned on and the console did nothing. I pressed the power button on the console and that did nothing either. Excellent.

Had to hard reset it and got a warning about turning it off while the light was flashing. WELL MAYBE IF YOU FUCKING WORKED.

Oh, it's doing it again. Hopefully this is just a PSN thing because otherwise I can't use standby any more.

I can no longer press "down" on an installed game to see more details. Anyone else?

Have you got a Vita? I put a mini USB cable in the Vita charger, plus have a power outlet by my seat so I can plug'n'play.

 

[Jburton]

USB format for music?

 

[Withnail]

Not compatible with z2

I think we need the 4.4.4 update first (also a Z2 owner).

Really is great, you might need to find a place with stock, they were pretty scarce here in the UK at launch, but with it's own power supply and just charging via the port underneath, you just slot them in and let it get on with the charging.

At least they gave the camera its own port this time around!

Holy fucking shit. Share Play plays like a dream! It's so lag free and smooth that it's baffling me.

Is it like Remote Play similar to that on Vita?
Is it Streaming like PS Now?
Is it running on both hardware?

I'm so confused with this awesomeness.

Holy shit!

 

[bombshell]

USB format for music?

A folder in the root called Music.

 

[wapplew]

Wow, new theme with different music and button sound!
File size redeemed

If PSN is acting up it affects it

 

[Zareka]

Keep in mine that there's every chance this one could be later

Well as is evident by the extremely late post, I fell asleep anyway!

Guess I'll go update it now. And then update FFXIV...twice. All these updates.

 

[FeiRR]

USB music player works nicely but I found a game which pauses it: Another World Anniversary Edition. Anybody found more?

I want to try this so much!

It's like remote play between two PS4s instead of a PS4 and a Vita.

Pretty sure PS4 reads exFat FS.

 

[Vroadstar]

Ok a rundown on the 3 themes I just installed.

Paper Sculpture - it feels like it was inspired by Media Molecule games (LBP and Tearaway) even the background sounds and selecting tiles they are very whimsical

Rectangular - gray in color futuristic looking background , background sound and when you select tiles the sound is very modern

Spiral - red in color, background sounds is wipeout like

Out of the three I'm loving the Paper Sculpture the most which I guess that's why they've been showing to demonstrate 2.0

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

I do. And that is, well, genius! I've got a spare socket right by where is sit to game so will be perfect to charge anything I need. Good thinking Batman!

Themes are region locked!

Downloaded using JP account, cannot select them on AU account

No Toro theme most likely then

Are you serious?

 

[ducksauce]

Okay Bungie, now that we have a music player, all you have to do is add a volume control for music in Destiny and I'll be happy.

Does that mean the hosts upload bandwidth takes a hit? The reason I ask is because I do not have much upload bandwidth.

That is so shitty. Wow. Talk about unnecessary security.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Time to download.

 

[Alpende]

For once something downloaded very fast from PSN. Took less than 3 minutes to download 230MB, usually takes a lot longer.

 

[foolishoptimist]

Are you serious?

I wouldn't joke about a Toro theme.

The free ones seem like they're gonna be available in all regions, but I don't like any of them.

 

[sector4]

To get music to work create a folder on your USB titles Music and put it in there

Not sure if that's been documented.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The XMB seems much faster than it was before, same with the PSN store, friends lists, library, etcetera.

Everything is instant.

 

[bombshell]

Yes, the host's upload speed is important. They recommend 5 mb/s for optimal results.

Yes.

This is so disappointing. Hopefully the Paper Sculpture theme will be available in other regions. I want it so badly.

 

[c0de]

Oh, for the love of...

People, the network is just stressed due to +10.000.000 PS4s turning on and downloading a 200 MB file at the same time. It's not a bloody bug.

Quit the FUD please.

I don't know how often it has been said: downloads nowadays are made via CDNs and not by companies servers....

What a fucking stupid decision. I still remember my beautiful Afrika theme I got for free from JP PSN.

 

[Spectromixer]

Every time I hit the button to get more themes on the store it says "This content cannot be selected at this time."

 

[c0de]

USB format for music?

USB Music Player: PS4 owners can play their own music in the background while playing a game using USB Music Player*. After inserting a USB stick loaded with music into the PS4, a new option for USB Music Player will appear. Supported filename extensions include MP3, MP4, M4A, and 3GP.

[Spineker]

Why the fuck would you region lock THEMES? That is just ridiculous.

 

[Auto_aim1]

What 3 themes?! Where to download it??

 

[Konosuke]

I downloaded Spiral, Rectangular and Paper themes on my HK account and they work on my EU account. Where can I find Toro theme?

Holy shit!

How's the image quality? And is there a framerate cap like with remoteplay on the Vita?

 

[jonabbey]

It's showing "Real Name Request Sent" on one of the friends listed as being online. That's new.

Same here, was super quick. The whole OS seems a lot smoother as well.

 

[Nightengale]

Whoever designed the Rectangle theme needs to go back to design school.

Contrast, motha.

Well US is getting free Destiny and Advanced Warfare themes as well.

Paper Sculpture is definitely the best!

Here's some teaser and I hope for the love of god they are not region locked!
