If you're selected for the exclusive Beta testers group, you can get an exclusive avatar! (Oh wait, you said noteworthy ) Otherwise, some people just like trying things out first. (Not me, though. I'm risk-averse when it comes to technology since it always breaks on me) EDIT: Also @TugaSonic, you should have the NA link be this: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/legal/playstation-4-firmware-60-beta-registration/ so people can see the legal disclaimers and stuff.

crimsonidol38 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 1 minute ago, Smashero said: possibility to create >16 profiles, Wait, there's a limit on how many profiles you can have on the console? Let me guess, like for the PS3 there's also a limit on how many profiles can be on a console during it's whole life time? I honestly think it's kinda dumb that they always do the beta-registration phase way before they even announce some of the features they would like to test people. E.g. when there's a lot of awesome/shitty (choose your preference) social media-features people might want to know so those that are can sign-up and those who aren't case save the five seconds to spend them on something more useful. And isn't it the case that previous beta-testers are automatically signed up by now? E.g. I never registered for the 5.50 beta but still had access to it via the update-menu, as I joined the previous ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the little I read (Okay, just the registration forum), it appears you can choose to be added to a beta-tester group which will let you get access to betas without registering for them. (But that is an optional checkbox) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I will ever be in the situation to use so many profiles at once but it still seems odd. Could have used at least double the bits for the profile-number.

(But that is an optional checkbox) Maybe I somehow clicked on such a link or chose the option to join that group without knowing. I only remember that I wanted to try 5.50 as I finally wanted to hide unwanted items like expired betas or demos. But only heard about the feature after the signing phase but still saw the update as an option. That made me wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't show a picture since I registered, but it was just a blue shield with the four x, o, square, triangle buttons on it. (It may be NA only? I don't know about other regions) Ugly? That is the most beautiful pink elephant turtle... I can't even finish that sentence. The longer I look at it the worse it gets. I also think I kinda want it now.

Generally speaking, betas should be for people who have a genuine interest in improving the product by testing it voluntarily and reporting issues to the developers. Unfortunately people use beta testing as a means of demoing new features and reviewing them, instead of actually reporting bugs like it's intended. And even worse, companies have caught on to this and often release a "beta" feature complete with little intention of actually utilizing feedback just as a marketing tool. Granted there's still fun to be had trying out new things, but people should understand the risk associated. (EDIT: As a developer myself, the best feedback is external by the people who use the software every day. You can only catch so much in a limited internal environment, or in my case me and maybe two others whose expertise aren't necessarily in software QA ... though I'm sure a company like Sony has very rigorous testing regimens before it even gets to this point so I bet it's 99.9% safe. But either way, open beta testing is extremely valuable if companies and users take it seriously.) Edited July 19, 2018 by Dreakon13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like an avatar I would use anyway. But still fine for people who enjoy such things. And I wouldn't be surprised if this would be a regional thing. 5 minutes ago, Kittet3 said: Ugly?

snakebit10 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was in the last beta test. Never experienced any problems. I just hope the 6.00 update is better than the 5.50 one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot complete backwards compatibility with all PS1/PS2/PS3 titles, both physical and digital. ps: removing 0% profiles didn't require a PS4, the mobile app was enough, too bad they removed that feature (from the app) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. Didn't know that! Anyway, after last update PS app (android) is not informing about new messages, even that I have this option activated in the settings Edited July 19, 2018 by Smashero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
