Sent out a bunch of requests to finally populate a friends list after skipping the PS3 entirely lol. If you guys get something from MattDoza, it's me. If you don't want me to be on your list, that's cool, you can go ahead and deny.

I was wondering who that was.

Got tired of recharging my stupid PS4 controller every second day. Found this cable online. I'm sure you can find something similar in the U.S. My 360 and Ps4 controllers are both on wires.

Firmware 1.74 is now available for the PS4. Doesn't appear to contain any new features, just a stability update-

PS4 Firmware Update 1.74 Now Available; 194 Mb Download

Sony Computer Entertainment just made the 1.74 version of the PS4 firmware available for download in all regions (Europe, United States, Japan and Asia).

The size of the update is 194 megabytes, and took about 60 seconds to download and install.

The changelog is the usual simple one we find in this kind of small update: “System software stability during use of some features has been improved.”

That’s it. Looks like we’ll have to wait for the 1.8 version in order to get relevant new features. According to earlier rumors, we might get it shortly after Gamescom in August.

In the meanwhile, we can take heart in the belief that the PS4 must now be the most stable system ever.

GamesCom 2014: PlayStation 4 Sells 10 Million

We just announced that the PlayStation 4 has sold through more than 10 million units worldwide –- and more than 30 million PS4 games have been sold –- since its launch less than nine months ago. It’s a remarkable milestone that reinforces PS4’s record-breaking pace and the movement it has created among players globally in defining next generation gaming.

On behalf of our entire team, I want to thank you for your support and passion. You’re the reason that PS4 is the #1 next generation console in the world and we’re grateful for your continued enthusiasm and for always pushing us to new heights.

Rest assured that the PS4 journey has just begun, and we’ll continue the momentum this holiday season with blockbuster titles, including Destiny, DRIVECLUB, Grand Theft Auto V, inFAMOUS First Light, Little Big Planet 3, and NBA 2K15, and innovative titles including Grim Fandango, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number and Minecraft.

In addition to our expanding gaming library, we’ll also continue to enhance the PS4 system’s network features to offer more breakthrough gaming experiences. Upcoming features include the ability to upload game footage directly to YouTube, and also “Share Play,” a new feature that allows players to invite a friend to a game—even when they don’t own a copy of it.

I look forward to sharing more details about new games and features coming to PS4 that clearly demonstrate why PlayStation is the best place to play.

PS4 System Update to v2.00 to Add Share Play, YouTube and More to Come

Since we first unveiled PlayStation 4 and its deep social capabilities, including the SHARE button, we’ve seen an outpouring of excitement from gamers. The PS Nation has rallied around a culture focused on sharing epic gaming moments through Live From PlayStation, interactive streaming, SHAREfactory, What’s New and Photo Mode in exclusive PS4 games like Infamous Second Son and The Last of Us Remastered. Let’s go a step further together. Let’s go from sitting back and watching friends play to actually jumping into games remotely and sharing great experiences together in real time. Today at the PlayStation press conference at Gamescom, we will deliver on yet another promise from the PS4 announcement and introduce Share Play, coming to PlayStation 4 later this fall.

The best way to think about Share Play is like a “virtual couch”. PlayStation 4 will create an online local co-op experience by allowing you to invite a friend to join your game—even when they don’t own a copy of it. With this first-of-its-kind feature, you’ll be able to play games with a friend just as if you were together in the same room. Let’s say that with games… you’ll be able to invite your friend online to play against the Miami Heat for the championship as the San Antonio Spurs in NBA2K, tackle the challenging Towerfall Ascension Quest Mode together, or aide, heal, and protect you as Igniculus in Child of Light’s local co-op mode.

With Share Play, you can even jump into a game to assist a friend. For example, if there is part of a game that you can’t quite finish, you can invite a friend to take over your controls. Like handing over the controller to a friend on your couch, your screen will be shared as your friend gets through the part of the game that has been giving you trouble—can’t get past that part in The Last of Us: Remastered when you’re hanging upside down? Get a little help.

Share Play will be coming to PS4 as part of the upcoming system software update v2.00, scheduled for release this fall. The update will also add highly requested broadcast and video share features, including both uploading you game play footage and dedicated app support for YouTube, which we mentioned on stage at E3. Finally, What’s New will get enhanced real-time activity through friend-of-friend suggestions, allowing instant access to friends’ and recently played games’ broadcasts, and a real name search function will also be added. More features to come when v2.00 is made available this fall, and we will have more to announce in the coming months..

We always want to hear your feedback and look forward to what you are most excited to experience together first Share Play when the feature comes to PS4 this fall. What will you co-op first with Share Play?
