PlayStation 4 adds game pre-loading with 1.70 update
The upcoming 1.70 update for PlayStation 4 adds a crucial feature that PC gamers have had for a long time: the ability to pre-load.
The upcoming 1.70 update for PlayStation 4 adds a crucial feature that PC gamers have had for a long time: the ability to pre-load. As with Steam, once a digital game is pre-ordered via the PlayStation Store, it will start to download onto the console. That doesn’t mean you’ll be able to play the game right away. Instead, you’ll be able to play it once the game is “unlocked” on release day.
Once pre-loaded, “there will be a countdown that starts when the official time of release is announced,” SCEA director Scott McCarthy confirmed on the PlayStation.Blog. Given games like Infamous: Second Son are 20GB, it’s nice to shave off a few hours of download time and get right to playing as soon as possible.

Now if they'd only release a remote so I could use a Harmony, I could buy one.

PS4 continues to get better. This is what else I would like to see happen.
Near-term improvements:
-Release 720p twitch support
-Game suspend mode
-Improved bluray playback
-More durable thumbstick material.
Future improvements/changes:
-Increased battery capacity in the DS4 controller
-Reduced OS memory footprint allocating more ram to developers.
-New sku with 1tb hybrid drive.

I've found quite a bit of stuff to play. Hell, I've got 15 or 16 games on the PS4 right now. Most of them get played pretty regularly.
I realize that I'm not the typical person. I had nearly 100 games for my 360 before I gave it to a buddy. 40+ on my PS3 which I didn't even get until GOW3 came out.
For as early in its lifetime as the PS4 is I'd say they're doing pretty good on games. Sure more stuff could come out, but its not like there aren't any games to play!

Biggest thing I want is proper Twitch integration and video exporting. The One destroys it in that single area. Just let me upload to Twitch archives or to Dropbox or something.

"you’ll finally be able to export the video onto an external USB drive and upload it on any other service you’d like."

That's still not in the same league as the One's dumping to OneDrive and letting you link that out. I still have to do the grunt work. I mean it's not complicated, but I'm much less likely to share a PS4 clip due ot that extra few steps.

The fact that you actually just called it 'the one' in earnest made some marketing exec shoot out a little precum.

I think the last near term would have to go into future as retooling hardware isn't cheap.

What about DLNA?
