Is a 'Sony MVP' willing to ask for clarification of how Communities work?
I mean it sounds great for something like GAF if it can be a 'everybody can invite anybody' type of situation and not a 'mod/admin has to accept everybody'. Because then whoever creates it is fucked and has to accept every single person or make a million 'mods'.
I genuinely hope it's simple and accessible.

Storage increase, friend groups, and communities are really nice additions. Hoping their next move is to clean up the XMB and library. Then I'll shut up.

Yeah I really hope there's invite-only and "public" communities where anyone can join without approval. I mean I guess you can get griefers and the like but I don't think it should be that big an issue.
I added and got added by a bunch of people on the PSN thread but I dunno, it still doesn't really feel like a community for some reason. I hope this new feature addresses that, I wanna go into a page and see a list of cool shit that a bunch of people have been doing. Like, hey here's a video of an amazing goal in Rocket League, here's a bunch of screenshots from Bloodborne, hey these guys are playing Driveclub right now.

a friend list is much more different than a community which is why it sounds great. Like you said, sharing cool videos/screenshots and having the community like them. Of course we'd likely have to moderate to not have people take videos/screenshots of spoilers. Only way I can see the community working is if the only way to join is to post in a thread with your PSN so a log of every GAF member is there, and if somebody tries to troll they could be banned from the community and possibly from GAF.
Again this is all assuming shit even works. I won't get my hopes up. Lord knows I did when the DestinyGAF communities were planned. I helped manage them up until a point where we realized it was a joke and pointless.
Less... compression?
Like how much?!? Full quality?

10gb bless!!!
PNG means that the image is exactly the same as a raw, uncompressed bitmap, except it takes up a bit less space.
Yes, lossless compressed files.
Fuckkkkkkk yesssssss

I wonder if they'll ever let us use whatever wallpaper we want.
I think the beta is supposed to start tomorrow, so probably a couple weeks at least for the release version.
Should we expect some sort of minor UI change with this update? By which I mean: are we expecting a community app as another tile on the application bar, or will Sony integrate communities into the UI (kind of like how Nintendo integrates miiverse into their UI).
It'd be cool to turn on my PS4 and see recent/popular posts without having to open an application, like with miiverse.

It pretty much just checks for updated files and uploads them.
You can go to settings > app saved data management > saved data in system storage > upload to online storage highlight a game or app that you don't wan't to have save data uploaded for and press the option button and turn off auto uploads for just that game/app. For me this is apps like Hulu.
Well, you should ask Twitch guys about this, not Sony.
Need the option to set up multiple custom controller profiles
But good so far.
Yes, this is a really big one for me. Will make the custom button mapping infinitely more useful.

I imagine this is going to be incredible for E3, so convenient for me and my friends who used to fuss around with streams. Now YouTube Gaming is pretty decent so far, and E3 2015 was smooth streaming, this will be beautiful for E3 2016.
I also hope they do it for PlayStation Experience 2015 too.

Not a whole lot of things relevant to me for now, though I do welcome PNG screenshots.

Most of these sound like things I would use. YouTube streaming, .png pictures, expanded cloud storage, friend grouping, built-in clans/communities. This sounds like a good, meaty update.

10 GB cloud storage is a decent and much-needed improvement, but it's nothing to get too excited about. Steam's cloud save implementation is still far superior.
Overall, this 3.0 update just seems okay. Nothing wow-worthy.

Increase in storage is hugely welcome. Granted, I think for many on Gaf who play a lot of games it will run out somewhat soon, but this is a massive start. Next step would be to make it like Xbox/Gmail/Outlook where it's theoretically unlimited or else they're just pushing the problem off a little bit further (especially as we can see some game saves be extreme and take up 500-800 MB). Regardless, this is very nice.
Communities sound great as well. However, am I correct in assuming that by communities they allow you to create it's not totally free-form? It would be huge if it would be. GAF community inbound! Plus, helpful ones like Destiny Raid community, etc etc. I loved MiiVerse and I'm glad to see Sony following that concept. I would also love if this was available from the browser and in the PlayStation app on phones. Also, if they could send community events (like Steam community events), that would be great.
The one thing I still want to see is an ACTUAL Twitch app on the Playstation. It sucks you can only watch Twitch streams of people streaming from PS4. I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure even if you route your PS4 -> PC so you can use OBS it wouldn't show up on Live On Playstation.
