Making trophies be black again would be cool, did they change it to trophy earned, then the trophy's name, or did it used to be the trophy's name with the "trophy earned" bit on the lower half? Either way, I liked the old way a little more and hopefully this does it. Doesn't bother me at all if it doesn't though.

 

Making a family account is cool. I want to make one for my kid now, but like, first of all, she's 19 months, and second, well, I'm not dumb enough to leave my card deets on the account so she can have fun trying to buy shit without it.

 

I think sending and receiving music is cool, but it's not really too useful since the PS4 can't save music locally, and the phone app is terrible so I'll be damned if I'll download that to send songs.

STILL waiting on being able to alphabetize my games in my trophy collection like we can on here and PS3....

 

I have been wanting this feature for a while myself.

 

Other than that turning the notifications back to black is all I really like about the update.

Not excited about this update at all. Notification color is cool, but meh. The parental settings are useful I suppose but it won't affect me. All in all pretty disappointed for a 5.0 update.

 

What did you expect, seeing how disappointed you are. :S

I actually like quite a few options in this update... notification colour black is cool, you can finally check the hour by just pressing quick menu instead of going to console menu, you can also see notifications in quick menu and also I like the option to send music via pm.

Ok, how do you turn off the automatic game updating? It was off before this update, but after it updated to 5.0, a list of game updates started to pop up. I thought it was under Settings>System>Automatic Downloads, but everything is unchecked.

 

Edit: Problem is fixed, seems like a bug that occurred right after the update. After turning the console off and back on, it try to update any games.
