There is a few new features that I like, that is going to be added, according the post above. But, unless I missed something, it doesn't say anything about appearing offline. That is one thing, that NEEDS to be added to Playstation. Sometimes, I just wanna get online, and not be flogged with messages, and invitations to join parties. Another thing, that I highly suggest adding to Playstation, is when recording, there is an option that you can check, to display a timer on the screen, showing how long you have been recording. So we'll know how long we have been recording.

GFXMoon why so many xbox kiddies on a console news topic they dont even own atleast psn doesnt update every month and you can play online even during downtime, if you dont own the console no point in posting saying you're an xbox fan or you're going to stay on xbox or even yet say ps4/3 sucks


Exactly, don't own a PS4 don't talk smack. I own both consoles, both have pros/cons but I prefer PS4.
