PlayStation 4 - Now TV Launches in UK, Update 1.75 to Introduce 3D Blu-ray Support

Here’s a couple of bits of news about that sexy slab of asymmetric plastic you’ve got under your telly. 

Now TV is now available on PS4 in the UK and next week’s firmware update will introduce 3D Blu-ray support to the console.

Now TV is an on-demand service, offering access to some of Sky's most popular movie, sports and entertainment content. So if you fancy watching the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend, you know what to do.

Meanwhile, next week’s PS4 system software update 1.75 will add 3D Blu-ray film support, says Sony. The last few updates have been mostly background stuff, so it’s nice to see some extra functionality being introduced.

  • pish and more pish
  • Finally people will stop moaning about no 3d blu ray support.
  • Eventually starting to get some of the functionality back. Now all we need is for them to start allowing us to play audio & video files.
  • I'd be happy just to have friend notifications added...
  • Yay, I've been waiting for Now Tv!!!
  • 3D Bluray support really should have been there from the start.
  • Yes how did sony forget to include a notification for friends coming online? Seems excessively retarded that I get notifications for friends joining parties that have fuck all to do with me yet i don't know when a friend comes online or goes offline, yet amazingly my inferior ps3 can do that....
  • I'm excited that it has 3d support coming, I just sold my ps3 and that was the one thing I knew I was gonna miss from not having the ps3 anymore since my 3d bluray player broke. As far as friends notifications that would be nice to have again there are times friends come on that I want to play with and I have no idea they signed on.
  • @ 7 I know. Why do they notify you when a friend joins a party? It just makes me sad :( Forget em if they don't wanna party with me lol
  • @7 - The theory is, with 5 times as many friends in your list, that could result in the top left being too busy. Not that a toggle for both friends and parties wouldn't be the better idea.
  • now all they need is MP3 support, hopefully it'll be apart of the next update after that, but probably not
  • Hmm been wanting to get a new TV...might look into 3D ones now
  • Now add support for avi/xvid/mp4/mkv !!!!
  • I'm waiting for MP3-MP4 files and the fucking VIDEO/AUDIO chat.. The only way for have a chat with my friends it's to go on PS3.. I don't like the " PARTY CHAT " with only audio..i like to have a private chat audio/video like the PS3 offer.
  • Basic media file support should've been there from day one, DNLA streaming also, custom themes & photo backgrounds are needed, ability to view my trophies offline, but what I'd really love is PS1 & PS2 local emulation (disc & digital), All of this basic stuff featured on the PS3 many years ago!! Get all this working in the next 6 months and maybe I'll forgive you sony for charging for multiplayer (not likely)
  • Just give us media storage, then customizable user wallpaper.
  • @7 LOL I said the same thing. It seems so miniscule to forget to put that in. It's not even a feature. Should have been standard.
