PS4 Update 3.00’s Favorite Groups Clarified, “Majority” of Beta Test Invites Going Out by Today

The PS4 system software update 3.00 “Kenshin” is already in the hands of quite a few beta testers, and SCEA PR Manager Andrew Kelly clarified a couple relevant points.

[neocores]

Yeh i got my beta invite:)

[WildArmed]

Likewise :)

Started making some communities for my buddies and I.

How many favorite groups can you have? Is it just one?

[XisThatKid]

MARK MY WORDS. Now that we are getting fav friends we can now get the often requested ridiculous friend notifications. Since without who groups of friends you can pick to get notifications from it would be ba mess, getting notifications for up to 1000 friends across PS4 PS3 and the at times Wi-Fi finicky Vita (love My 3G vita) Would be beyond annoying. Especially passing fighting games.

[WildArmed]

I have about 10 groups right now, still have room for more

You can favorite current conversations into fav groups

10gb space is awesome.

Loving YouTube steaming as well

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Thanks WildArmed. I been waiting for this feature since before PS4 launched. It was even in that trailer shortly before, but we're just getting it now.

[RiPPn]

Me too, can't wait to give it a spin..

[CPTN MITCHELL]

Got mine today too.....psn id Angel99pr

[bOObies]

I feel like if you didn't opt in for them to send you notifications in the second and only other question they would not pick you. I chose no, and haven't received anything. :(

Anyone that actually got selected for the beta said no for them sending you emails?

[WeAreLegion]

I said no, since I already get tons of emails from them.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

You're supposed to have that checked for anything like this. Always been that way. That's why it says if you want email.

[XisThatKid]

I have no problem with that seems me any kind of emails Sony, it all goes to one folder named "Sony" in my inbox and just seen my invite few mins ago can't wait to get back to my PS4

[Shazz]

[WeAreLegion]

Go to your settings and hit "Firmware Update". One of the options will be "Update Firmware (Beta)".

[Majin-vegeta]

[theshredded]

WTF?!Random related stuff are appearing on the applications of my download list in the web store ( so far an anime called HAE from funimation, a game with Japanese text and the word Origin, Meatweep Madness, My Singing Monster, wrong Warframe placement...)

[Antifan]

[Ethereal]

[Cha0tik]

Damn, I really wanted in on the beta :(

[Butters360]

I got mine. Is there an official space here where we can talk about it strictly with other beta users.

[nunley33]

Yes on the forums there's a beta only section where you can only get in if you were invited. None beta visitors won't see the beta section as an option btw.

[nunley33]

I got my invite today, lots of good stuff in there!
