I'm glad to see the constant updates, shows you're always trying to improve your console, but message delays are still a huge problem.
And something I'd really love is the ability to invite everyone in your party to a game, I don't think this feature is already implemented but it was extremely useful on xbox 360

My only complaint is that they moved the PS Store down to the main page, when it was so much better at the top.

Good update, but:

1. Messages still travel with a delay of even 10 minutes between 2 PS4s (worked like a charm on PS3) while showing instantly on PSN Android/iOS app.
2. Text chat hasn't been improved. (delay, no on-screen notification - worked great on PS3).
3. No online friends notifications (worked great on PS3).

Is it so hard to fix the above?

Still no appear offline? Come on man, Xbox has had this since xbox live was out! This is one of the only things that annoy me about PS4, I constantly have to decline party invites, game invites, messages, just let me appear offline so that I can just play online games without my friends annoying me sometimes, almost all software has this option, so why cant PSPlus??

OFFLINE TROPHY LIST. I don't see why you need to be connected to the internet in order to see your trophy list. You get awarded a trophy, but you can't view what it was that earned the trophy? Hell, unless you're connected to the internet, you can't see what you need to tick off in order to get that next platinum. The PS3 and the Vita is able to do this... so how come the PS4 cannot?

deleting trophies my ocd can finally be conquered

I always appreciate your either short concise educational videos or you more lengthy quirky entertainment ones. Thanks again and glad I subscribed

PS4 is almost perfect now (for me at least) just needs few "simple" things like:

1- changing my PSN ID.
2- Friends notifications ( with the ability to appear offline) 
3- Allow me to use my PS4 as a blueray device and run movies from external hard-drive.

[MsLenepigen]

I wish the option to delete games from the trophy list was 10% not 0%
I've got some old games on my list that are 3-5% that I'll never play again.
They will be everlasting annoying reminders to never _ever_ buy a game again without watching at least a couple of decent reviews.

[HugoStiglitz]

I'm insanely happy about the custom button remapping because I've always played southpaw (aiming with the left stick instead of the right) and a couple games on PS4 don't let you switch the sticks. 

Now thanks to this update, I can switch the analog sticks on ANY GAME. I'll finally be able to play Infamous and Tomb Raider the way I've always wanted to

BRILLIANT FEATURE SONY. 

PS4 MASTER RACE!!!!

One thing I would like for PS4 though is the ability to install games to an external hard drive. The biggest internal hard drive we can get for PS4 is 2 TB and that's not going to be enough. I have a 1.5 TB and it's already almost full with all these 50 GB games and 10 GB updates

[MegaCazzam]

Hmm the screenshot achievement thing is going to be annoying and take up the very small 500GB storage 

[ViperStudiosAndy]

Is there an option to disable the auto screenshot for trophies?

"Discover: You can easily access your preferred power options."

^ Get rid of that in the next update. It looks like I'm not the only one who is constantly getting bothered with that notification every time I turn on my console.

[Wizborg]

Still no FFS Sony, that's the one thing that the PS3 has over the PS4, and it's a biggie!!!

[Husteen]

two stealth changes i noticed:

1. you now have a lot more space to write stuff in your "about me" section on your profile.

2. Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr Range has been removed from the video output settings. it's possible they just moved it, but i don't se it anywhere else. i'm not even sure what that did, anyways.

playstation store is now on the game menu, but we saw that in screenshots a few days ago.

[TheGiladCastle]

The trophies' screenshots are even displayed in the list itself. It's pretty rad.

[UNITGJ]

I'd like an option that allows you to pic and choose what's seen on your home menu. For instance remove all adverts, remove all progress from other players. Basically make it super basic like a console from the mid 90's.

[thejoyfuldragon]

cool :) 

next update should include the option to delete trophy sets, no matter their percentage, and the option to change your PSN name, like in xbox :)

[Generationsst]

That's quite a lot for one patch i'm very impressed..
Especially the new Achievement system..

[Dirvinator]

Its about time I can finally back-up my date on a hard-drive
