Major PS4 System Software Update v2.0 Available NOW

Most of new themes are LOCKED and tell me to "purchase" from the PSN store. WTF?

I was able to get the Advanced Warfare theme to work. Its kinda cool for 5 minutes and I dig the music, but it gets annoying bc its a little too busy on the main screen with the overly prominent soldier taking up 3/4 of the screen. Meh.

There are also game demo tiles locked into my library with no apparent way to delete. Double WTF?

Overall this update is kind of a bust. We need folders and a way to manually organize games as well as remove old game tiles that are no longer on the hard drive. These are very basic, no-brainer OS capabilities that should have been in since launch. The fact that the first "big update" we've gotten in months still hasn't implemented this stuff yet is baffling.
 
The Library is really just your download list. Everything stays nothing can be completely removed. The Library, in its current state, is useful in the store so you can see everything you've ever downloaded but they need a new app that displays the games you currently have installed / the one's you've uninstalled but still want to display.

Either a new app or a view in the library that is just currently installed items. You can sort the list based on recently used which is almost that but it's not the same.
 
Is the Destiny and Call of duty theme restricted to North American account? Cause I only found the paper theme and two others on the webstore

Also anyone want to shareplay Drive club with me? would like to try it out as I intend to purchase it this Dec
I could try but now sure if it will go well lol.
 
no it was a kid he downloaded so many demos i just delete them but now that library is useful i got a ton of demos listed in there sucks :) if we cant delete them maybe we can filter them out? come on SOny

Sony is unfamiliar with the concept of "filtering." My Vita download list is populated with every single thing I ever bought on PSN, with no filtering or sorting options of any kind.
 
It saddens me that the default blue is still the best choice. Damn, was really hoping for more.

Yeah, the colours are way too gaudy.

I miss the slick, sexy, and simple PS3 default colours. Hopefully it won't take long to get some more colours in.

I also hope they add themes/custom plates for our profiles. Like on PS3 and VITA where the namebar in the friends list has a nice background/colour.

Also, I miss writing comments on my status/username lol. It was a fun little way to communicate.
 
The way they did the home bar/library is so dumb. Plus not being able to delete Music Unl and Video Unl is just icing on the cake.
 
Share played PVZ, and now my friend wants to buy it and is super pissed off that she missed the sale.

IT'S WORKING!

The fact that the PS4 automatically adds the game to your main menu, right at the very front is a touch of genius.

I am very curious to see how this affects purchasing habits.

Adding a social dimension to demos must really help in how shareplay guests perceive the game. I mean, you could be playing the crappy new wrestling game but still want to purchase the crappy new wrestling game, just because you are shareplaying with a friend and having a fun social experience
 
YouTube sign in is completely fucked up? Please confirm, GAF. Signs me out randomly and forgets I've already linked it. I have two factor authentication on so it's even more of a pain to repeat the process.
 
I still can't get videos to upload to YouTube. It fails every time. I got share play to work but it was really choppy. DriveClub was unplayable for me and BF4 was really rough for the person I shared with. We both have Optimum Boost with very high download and upload speeds. I don't get it.
 
Can't sign in to Youtube, unable to connect to Netflix, messages my friend sent me 20 minutes ago still haven't loaded.

The hell Sony.
 
Where's the game summary screen? (like when you cursor over a game on the home screen)

Also, what's new isn't loading and the one time it did there was no "players you may know"
 
Get Cerny on the horn.
Look, Cerny we need a god damn well functioning OS with basic features that have existed for decades and a phone app that functions the same way. Not two different pieces of software that operate differently.
You can make it happen. Let's tie this PS4 experience together

I went around in circles a couple of times and it worked. Try closing the app once you log in.
 
or higher bitrate what ever they did its amazing now that and finally we can control mic volume :)
You could always control mic volume, right?

You could always control how loud other people are (obviously), and in the settings there you could change your own mic volume along with a thing that told you if your voice is too loud or not.
 
Like many others, I can't login to YouTube via the app or the share menu. I get "An error occurred during communication with the server" every single time. Maybe I should patiently wait for a stability update to fix the problem.

Same here.
 
My experience so far:

-Downloaded the update and everything was fine. Put it into rest mode multiple times with no issue

-Played a game about an hour ago, put it into rest mode and got the blinking orange light

-Hard reset it, it checked my storage and then froze

-Restarted in safe mode, it checked my storage again and then I was able to rebuild the database

-Was able to boot up and enter rest mode again with no problem

-YouTube account linking has errored out every time that I've tried it
