PS4 Firmware Update 4.00 Adds New Features Tomorrow

yeah folder!

Finally got folders... Now how about that external drive support, eh? Amirite, @JaxonH?

The Data Transfer will be convenient when I get my PS4 Pro, but other than that I could give a s*** less. I'll care about firmware updates when they finally add external HDD storage. I say this every time a firmware article pops up, because it's absolutely irritating. Yeah, I could get a 2TB to put in it, but the last time I tried that, the drive was faulty and there was a delay with the sound, plus my frame rate sucked. I wish more companies would finally make 2.5" SATA 2 drives, with the 7200RPM speeds. Seagate is garbage (That's the brand of the 2TB I tried before) and I refuse to give anymore of their products a chance.

@JesWood13 Sounds like you got a faulty seagate. I used one of them on my launch ps4 and if anything I noticed a nice speed boost. Nothing major but easily noticeable. I also another seagate on my ps3. A 1TB if I recall. That was also another good purchase. Again no complaints. My ps3 rain much smoother with that compared to the default one.

Not had isses with Seagate hard drives and have used them alot over the years. I just upgraded to 2tb now I actively manage my games so will never get into a situation again where I am left with only 100gb spare hard drive space. As for the firmware good improvements apart from News Feed which has gone backwards.

Yippee-ki-yay,
My Hard drive lives on Cowboy.

[eh ehm]
Yes, exactly right Bizzle.

Cool, folders...guess I'll put my favorite games in one and the other will be a spare lol

So I can finally upgrade my hdd again and keep my P.T.?

ok, hdr support, in what games can I use it? I don't see the point of adding HDR if there are no games for it right now

LOOKS AMAZING I love how the PS4 is now but this looks like it will take it to another level Can't wait

@get2sammyb it's not so much they haven't put it in, we knew the chances were slim

it's more that fact they wont even tell us if they are working on it or not

on question for a 2.5" SATA 2 drives, with the 7200RPM speeds.where can i find one of these?cant seen to find one on any uk online websites.

Can I turn the HDR filter off?
It makes everything too dark when viewing on a 1080p display.

Yay 👏 well in Sony, now I can have that 'games I have no inclination to ever play again' folder and put Dragons age inquisition dlc in it, alongside tower of guns and the fifa 15 demo. Get in!

And we also get the added feature of paying an extra $10 per year for PS+.

@get2sammyb Are you going to do a public service announcement article to remind people to buy PS+ before the price increase in 10 days on the 22nd?
I'm actually impressed w/ Sony they are releasing PS Slim a week before that, thought they'd launch it on the 23rd.

Oh, and if you want to do another PSA, the original PS4 Uncharted 4 bundle is $299 on Amazon. If it had 1TB like the EU I'd be tempted. Still, might be nice for a fan on a budget, the console art is nice.

@get2sammyb
I knew we weren't getting external drive support, but far be it from me to pass up an opportunity to harp about it 😀

Truth is, it's not the end of the world. I've switched my collection to X1 where there's lots of space, and honestly it just makes sense that way. Sony gets far more exclusives than Xbox, so it was always a waste to have an X1 sitting there with only 8 games on it. This way, I utilize my space on Xbox and will still probably fill my 2TB PS4 with exclusives alone. So it works out perfectly. No sense wasting space with dozens of 50gb+ multiplats on a console brimming with exclusives that will max out even without multiplatform titles.

Still, I'd buy a PS4 Pro if it housed 15mm internal drives. My bank account would just have to deal with it.

How Big is this update's going to be? I wanted to download Fifa 17 demo tomorrow...

I don't think we will ever get External HDD support. It really sucks but I think it would have all ready happened if they were going to do it.

I never really cared about folders to be honest.

@JesWood13 I have a 9 year old seagate plugged into my Wii U and it works perfectly. Funny I've never had issues with Seagate, despite their reputation.

Yeeeeeaaaaa Love the new quck menu everythi g about it is well thought out and genius!!!!! And of course I love everything else that's going along with this didn't think I care for holders but then I realized all my freebies and or digital content I can store in the same folder just because I can and it would make a lot of sense to do so LOL! And don't worry guys trust me external hard drive support will be there the pro has a third USB port in the back and the most people say oh yeah well maybe you can plug the VR headset and there that's also a genius spot to plug in an external hard drive!!! =D

Looking forward to seeing just how much easier it will be to transfer your data to a new machine.

60 mins game play recording / uploading ! Glorious !

So by tomorrow that means today right? Like I don't mean to sound a bit dim, but it's 4.34am GMT now so when I get home at 2.00pm it should be available to download? 😛

Update 4.10 4K Blu-ray player for the Pro.

Anyone know what time it will drop? Got a coop session planned with a mate and don't want to be wasting time with updates!

@charlesnarles my thoughts exactly. This determines whether I'm getting a Slim/Pro or not, hope to hear this be confirmed or denied.
