While nothing compares to Plex Media Server for streaming ALL my favorite Films / Movies & TV Shows free forever instead of paying monthly subscription fees to watch the same content available via Search Engines only to have it removed periodically, today Sony unveiled the PS5 Launch Day media entertainment streaming apps that PlayStation 5 will support on Day 1 for early adopters.

Included are Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Spotify and more with details below from Sony's Head of Global Partner Development and Relations Phil Rosenberg, to quote:

Hi, everybody! We know that for many of you, your PlayStation console doesn’t get shut off when you’re done playing games.

Entertainment like movies, TV shows, music, and gaming livestreams only add to the PlayStation experience. As we continue on our road to PS5 launch, we’re pleased to announce some of the entertainment apps* scheduled to hit the PS5 console on day one, with more apps to come in the future.

For those curious how free digital PS4-to-PS5 Game Upgrades will be handled such as in Scarlet Nexus, Sony's PlayStation Support confirmed when asked by bigpapijugg that both versions will be maintained separately leading to two copies of the game... one for the current generation PS4 and another for the next-gen PS5 video gaming platforms.

This PlayStation 5 Scene news comes following the recent PS4 and PS5 Trophy Levelling Changes and Sony's latest addition of a new PlayStation Library to Manage PS4 / PS5 Games downloaded from PSN.

With the PlayStation 5 Launch just weeks away, here's the scoop from PlayStation Support rep David on the PS4-to-PS5 Free Digital Game Upgrades to quote:

"Since the PS4 and PS5 copies will be separate, and the PS5 copy is a complimentary access to that platform; you should still retain access to the progress and data for PS4.

In essence, it's like having two copies: One for each platform."

Two copies of each free-to-upgrade game will consume additional hard drive space, and it sounds like purchasing the PS4 version of eligible PS5 upgradable titles may be the less expensive way to go... let us know your thoughts on this in the PS5 Forum comments below.

Similar to many of Sony's other consoles, the PlayStation 5 will indubitably receive PS5 Firmware Updates, DualSense PS5 Wireless Controller Software Updates (now appearing at retailers including Walmart and Best Buy on October 30th) and in PS5 Scene news today Sony Interactive Entertainment Vice President of mechanical design Yasuhiro Ootori confirmed the PS5 Fan will also receive regular optimization software updates over time after the official PS5 Launch next month.

Following their PS5 Japanese Preview Videos a few weeks ago, here's a rough translation of this latest PS5 News via MP1st.com to quote:

"In an interview with Japanese site 4Gamer.net, Ootori explained that the behavior of the Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) in each game will determine how Sony will optimize fan control, using the data to deliver updates that will fix and adjust each unit accordingly:

“Various games will be released in the future, and data in the APU’s behaviour in each game will be collected,” Ootori said. “We have a plan to optimise the fan control based on this data.”

In Sony's recently released PS5 teardown video, it was revealed that the next generation system has a double-sided air intake fan to help cool the...

Following his PS4 6.72 Jailbreak Exploit Menu & PS-Phwoar! Host Menu Demo, PlayStation 4 homebrew developer @Leeful (Leeful74 on Twitter) recently shared some new PS4 6.72 Exploit Menu Updates including v9a / v9b Menus, PS-Phwoar! For 6.72, some New Features and a v6 Mod with the latest Sleirsgoevy exploit code and a v10 Test version.

To quote from Leeful on these latest updates: 5 New 6.72 Exploit Menus To Try

Here are 5 new 6.72 Exploit Host Menus for people to try out. Please consider all of these menus as tests. Self host versions of each menu can be found at the bottom of the post.

v9a and v9b Menus
This is v9 of my basic menu for 6.72. I have made 2 versions (a&b). version v9a uses the older more common version of the Sleirsgoevy exploit (5th Aug 2020) and v9b uses the most recent one (9th Oct 2020). You can load the exploit and HEN manually or you can set it to auto-load whatever you want when the menu loads.

The latest exploit takes slightly longer to load but in tests I have gotten a better success rate of the exploit loading. The latest exploit also causes an initial lag on the PS4 home screen once it has been loaded but a simple tip to overcome this is to press L2 then L1 on the home screen.

PS-Phwoar! For 6.72
I initially did not want to release a version of PS-Phwoar! for 6.72 because of the instability of the 6.72 exploit but a lot of people have asked for it so here it is.

This is still considered a work in progress and...
