Important stuff:

System back and restore
Lets you backup all data including save data, screenshots, video clips, patches and download data, as well as your sign in accounts to USB storage - great for anyone wanting to upgrade their HDD without redownloading everything.

Also, this update will most likely hit tonight (25th) in the US and early morning for EU

I also enjoy the fact that standby mode won't close my games. Despite that, I would like a mode more like the hibernate option on PCs, so I could completely shut down the console and then start it up right were I was.

The back up is awesome, I always did regular backups on PS3 and I wouldn't upgrade my PS4 HDD if I had to redownload all massive games and patches (usually way bigger than PS3). Now I can get that shiny new HDD.

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

The only slight annoyance (and it is slight) is that you have to delete trophies one at a time.

Actually PCs run on a little percentage of battery while on hibernation. PS4 still needs the power source. I do understand the convenience you mentioned.

Just updated, couldn't see anything different. :P But did delete loads of 0%s from my trophy list. Good times.

... what else did it do again? Okay, so I never put my console in 'sleep', what's the point? I'm either on it or I'm not and waiting all of 5 seconds for it to boot up is time I can wait.

EDIT: This was my 5000th post, Hurrah me! :(

Hmm, pie.
