PS4 '2.0 update' adds broadcast archiving, USB music player
As part of the new update, PlayStation 4 owners can jam out to their own beats with the USB Music Player. Though players can't transfer music to the console, they will be able to play MP3, MP4, M4A and 3GP files directly from an inserted USB stick as background music during gameplay sessions.
In an effort to increase social interaction, the PS4 will now list suggested "players you may know," recommending PS4 users your friends frequently game with. Additionally, if purchasing themes doesn't interest you, the update will allow players to customize the background color of the PlayStation 4 user interface.
Saving hard drive space, the new update will feature an option to add a game to your library, rather than forcing you through the steps of canceling a download. Growing libraries will also be easier to manage, with improved filters to organize your collection.
Enhancements to the PS4's live broadcasting tool are perhaps the most anticipated tweaks in the update, allowing users more control for following broadcasts, searching for specific games and, finally, archiving sessions.

This seems like a cool update, but almost everyone that owns a console owns a smartphone or another electronic device that can play music.

Music feature looks good, seems like something which should have already been there though...

Solve-Swift WAIT. Microsoft implemented USB media support before Sony. huh.
I really do not think Sony thought about, now that they are ahead how do they stay ahead.
I mean the games are about to start pouring out on the X1, what games is Sony putting out? Drive Club?
If they want to stay ahead they need to bring their consumers the exclusives they deserve.
Funny because Microsoft has had nothing but crap exclusives. Let microsoft even out the 3:1 ratio of consoles sold then you can start fanboying some more.
I honestly don't understand how Microsoft has had "crap exclusives" then you go on to say "start fanboying more" your the one that's fanboying!
Drive club, decent game but compared to Forza? No way.

xApoCT1GER404 I think sony are doing okay. I hate the X1s user interface. It can record for 5 minutes. PS4 for 1hr plus edit the video way more. And exclusives
The Order 1886
Bloodborn
No Mans Sky
The Last of Us
Infamous
Uncharnted
Rachet and Clank
Let it Die
Abuzu
I could go on. Dont get me wrong the X1 has its positives but there is akways a argument against and for. And everyone is entitled to opinions but sales or opinions dont make facts.
No Mans Sky isn't a PS4 exclusive
No mans sky is a timed exclusive so it is for a year.
It is for a Year! :P

attackedheartarmagedon122attackedheartarmagedon122attackedheart Xbox one outsold ps4 last month! For starters playstation 4 was released in over 40 countries at launch, xbox one only 13 countries at launch! Ps4 is cheaper plus free online! What do u expect the sales to be when all you cheapskates that don't have jobs and who's mummies and daddies buy their consoles just cheap out! Because yous are to cheap to pay for online services than yous all ***** when the psn goes down all the time. The only way Sony are getting ppl to buy the ps4 is by sending themselves into debt buying exclusive rights to games like gta and destiny. Ps. The ps4 is still available in more countries than xbox one so u cant compare the sales, so grow the f*ck up Sony ponies.
Maybe one of the most ignorant comments I've read. Don't generalize people who play ps4 to had the system bought for them seeing as how squeakers and few and far between, but when I was on Xbox, I couldn't get away. Second, PSN isn't free, good job guessing and not taking one second to google that. PS+ has better games for free than X1, that's not even debatable, and sir, please grow up yourself as this comment shows a great amount of ignorance and immaturity, thank you.
Omg! Wow they have better free games! I don't buy a console for its free games you cheapskate, get a job and buy ur games! So what does ur subscription fee pay for? Obviously not security or research! Psn has been down 3 times in the last month, and they just copy everyone else's ideas. Let me guess the the ps4 subscription fee Is paying to get Sony out debt or is it paying for the few crappy exclusives in destiny and gta5
I actually do have a job, and I do buy games. Im just simply pointing out the benefits of one subscription to another. Thank you for overreacting. And on another note, by the way you're commenting, I doubt "you" buy any console, and if you do, try to be a bit more mature, if you don't, enjoy you're Christmas games.
Lol, whatever you think, you say you have a job and ur so mature but you don't know how to spell armageddon. Get off ur ps4 and go to school and get a education! I guarantee I own more games on my xbox one then you own on ps4! I was playing games while you were still being breastfed.
armagedon122 is a username I've been using since I was 9, and I do have a job, and I'm a full time student, so I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at? And I bet you do own more games, I have life, you know?
