We’ve been busy preparing our next major system software update for PS4, version 3.00 (codename: Kenshin). The update is packed with content, and we wanted to give you quick glance at its key features. If you were selected for our beta program, you’ll get to see these features first-hand very soon. Keep in mind, some of this content might not make it into the final version — that’s why we’re having a beta, after all. We’ve added new ways to connect with friends and players around the world, expanding the social capabilities of the system even further. - Online storage capacity increase — PS4 online storage capacity has increased from 1GB to 10GB for all PS Plus members. In 3.00 system software, you’ll see that we added a handy usage meter to monitor your available storage capacity, and a new Auto-Upload menu has been added to Application Saved Data Management.
YouTube live — PS4 owners will be able to live stream gameplay to YouTube. Live streams will be viewable across YouTube, including on the new YouTube Gaming mobile app and website.
- Events — A new hub for events has been added, giving an overview of activities taking place in the games you play most, as well as official broadcasts. For instance, you may see an update for a Double XP weekend, a special enemy appearing at a scheduled time, or seasonal events like in-game towns being decorated for the winter. You’ll also receive notifications when the event starts, or if the timing changes.
- Favorite Groups — Favorite Groups has been added to the Friends app, letting you quickly access groups of people you like to play games with frequently. This will make the process of getting a game session up and running even easier.
- Communities — PS4 users will have the ability to create communities based around shared interests, like games, genres, and more. Communities include a message board with general discussion, screenshots shared by players, and the ability to join parties / games. If you want to tackle a big multiplayer raid, but don’t have enough friends available, this could be a great way to connect with other players who are looking for the same thing.
- Sharing video clips to Twitter — Users will have the ability to share video clips directly to Twitter. Maximum video length is 10 seconds, though you’ll have the ability to trim longer clips.
- Stickers — Tired of typing out messages? With this update, you’ll be able to send stickers to friends through the messages.
- Now Playing / What’s New — The Now Playing screen will display even more information about what your friends are doing, and you’ll be able to quickly jump into a game, party, request a screen share, or get sent to the PS Store to buy the game your friend is playing – further enhancing the social relationship with your friends online.
- Live from PlayStation — We’ve improved the Live From PlayStation app, making it easier to view popular trending broadcasts in real-time.
- Request to watch gameplay — Want to view a friend’s gameplay session? Now you can send a ‘Request to Watch’ notification to a player, which will start a live broadcast or Share Play invitation to the person playing.
There’s more included in this update, but that’s a quick glance at some of the items we’re excited about the most. We’ll be back with more info about Kenshin soon, including the launch timing.

So is it worth it to buy Destiny now or is it still not worth the money?

the Xbox One prize dropped immensely; I could get a bundle with Fifa16, 2 controllers and a valuable headset for 360€.
Does anybody here know from fact or experience, whether Sony will also drop the prize as heavily before christmas?
i know they dropped the prize in Japan, but only by 50€.
I personally prefer the Ps4 a bit (exclusive games).
Do you know maybe some links, where I can read good comparisons?
thanks
1 Euro = 1,11 Dollar, just for comparison

To my knowledge it hasn't been confirmed, but there are rumors regarding a PS4 price drop. It would make sense in order to move more units this holiday season and prepare for some big launches next year (Uncharted, DS3, No Man's Sky, etc.)
It's obviously personal preference, but even though Microsoft has done a lot to repair XB1's reputation after a disastrous start, the game catalog still puts PS4 head and shoulders above the XB1. But I'm a From Software fan, so Bloodborne alone could have done that for me.

right now, the best options for a new Console from a trusted seller means, that I can get the Xbox around 150 € cheaper than the Ps. So it would prob have to be a prizedrop around 100€ for me to buy the Ps. however I think the Xbox option I have is gonna be sold out soon. just really would prefer to have a Ps for the next 5 years, from a gut feeling standpoint.

Same here. The main reason for me to go for PS4 this generation was Bloodborne. However, in terms of games both consoles disappoint. The only other games I've got are Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Witcher 3.
My main issue with X1 is that nearly all "new" games are remakes: there's been the Halo package, now the Gears of War package, and there's a Halo 5 coming (which will play exactly like every other halo game of the past decade and a half) and a new Gears of War game (which will play exactly like every other Gears of War game of the last decade). I have those games already on X360, I have no reason whatsoever to rebuy those games.
Then again, PS4 had its share of remakes as well. It seems as if new, original IPs have been sacrificed on the altar of the gods called Sequelitis and Remake-itis.
The next two games I'll buy are the Bloodborne DLC and Dark Souls 3. I will maybe go for Fallout 4, but since Skyrim was such a disappointment (large world with absolutely nothing significant to do - a hiking simulator as it were) I will wait until critical player reviews are in.

I am fine with remakes remasters and sequels but the most frustrating is that there's not enough new games coming along with it.
I can understand games are taking longer to develops but it is still a bit shame.
Another frustration is charging for online cooperation mode, I think it is also understandable since they offer quite a lot of contents and their servers are indeed good but I wish it wasn't mandatory

Price drop!
Since the launch of PS4, we have been thrilled with the amount of gamers jumping into the world of PlayStation for the first time. If you haven’t made the jump yet, and you’re starting early on your holiday wish list, I have good news – we’re dropping the price of the PlayStation 4 system in the U.S. and Canada. Starting tomorrow, October 9, you’ll be able to pick up PS4 starting at the new price of $349.99 USD / $429.99 CAD (MSRP). Our goal at PlayStation has always been to provide the best gameplay experiences at the best value, and we feel this new compelling price will open the doors to even more gamers that have yet to purchase a system.

Sony has sent out a surveying asking PlayStation 4 users what they think are the most important features that should be added to the console.
The survey was posted online by NeoGAF user Saint of Killers. Among the choices are much-requested features such as the ability to change a PlayStation Network ID, custom backgrounds, and a hide/completely remove item from library function.
Also found on the list of options are "PS1 classics" and "PS2 classics," indicating the platform holder may be gauging the demand for more re-releases.
One of the features mentioned, PlayStation Store wishlists, was added on October 23. Currently, the functionality is only accessible through the web version of the PlayStation Store. It is unclear if or when it will be added to the console store.
The survey also asks when respondents "expect PlayStation to release the next big system software update (system software 4.0) with new features?," with a range of timeframes starting from "before the end of 2015" and going up to "2017 or later" available to pick.

I bit the bullet and bought a PS4 with Last of Us Remastered for 300 €. And of course now I'm reading news of a price drop. Rats...

SONY IS WORKING on bringing PlayStation 2 titles to the PlayStation 4, the company confirmed to WIRED Thursday evening.
“We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation,” a Sony representative told WIRED via email. “We have nothing further to comment at this point in time.”
It seems as if the first PS2 games using this emulation software to run on PS4 are already out: a bundle available now at retail that includes a PS4 console and the Star Wars: Battlefront game also includes a selection of bonus classic games: Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Racer Revenge, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.
The latter three games, according to the Digital Foundry, as reported by Eurogamer, aren’t simply ports of old code to the PS4. Instead, there are a number of signs indicating that they’re running on proprietary emulation software.

Just bought PS4 a month ago. Been playing lots of MGS, TLoU and Fifa 16 (with friends). Having a hard time choosing between Bloodborne or Fallout 4 to buy next.
