What is the point of the family feature? Like adding an adult.
And why does it cost $0.50 to add a member?

Think it's just parental control.

Dang, looks like I didn't get a code (US). Would really appreciate a code if anyone has an extra. Thanks!

Dang, moment I saw this I tried. Of course, PS Store asked me to login with my PW again. By then it was taken xD
Now I'm just staring at my e-mail instead of eating my lunch.

So I can confirm that the family feature doesn't work like Steam's family feature.
You add each other as family members and that's it, you become family members.
There's no game sharing

Being able to disable notifications while watching a video is all I'm interested out of this.
So tell them. That's the whole point of a beta.

Crazy that so few people understand the point of betas. lol
Edit: On another note, anyone else still get a little giddy seeing the PS3 UI during system software updates? <3

Edit: lol, this is the correct link from my email but it takes you to a forum called System Software Update USA on the EU PlayStation community. Was this the same for 4.50?

unsurprisingly the beta forums are usually pretty dead
is it really easier for the majority of those who dont use keyboards with their console though?
Because apparently when Sony originally built PSN they used a single identifier for usernames i.e. your PSN name, rather than a sequential number to identify the account, with the PSN ID as a secondary ID. This is something you build into your tables when you create a DB.
This means in order to enable name changes they will need to fibd some way to migrate the whole of PSN to a new DB using an ETL that adds the new ID during the Transform.
Given the way PSN is stitched together with duct tape & hope I imagine that there are any number of other show-stoppers involved especially as PSN accounts are also your 'Sony' account where you can register your other Sony devices, manage warranty stuff and so on.
I mean it's doable but we're talking about accounts with gamer trophies in them so unlike say, medicine or law where you can stick a 5 or 7 year cut-off on data migrations to new platforms and archive older stuff with legacy application access (if required), gamers being gamers will completely loose their shit if some trophy they got in 2007 is removed from their account.
So it's not something you'll get resolved in a FW update.

Got my code, will install on both PS4s when I get home.
I wonder if maybe this fixes that weird as hell glitch when doing a firmware update that a disc in the drive shows up as corrupted data and not on the tile the game is for.

unless they are trying to consolidate all posts into one place...no there were US specific forums last few times i've participated. seems like they might have just forgot to change the link?

Can someone make a code giving thread and have this one for discussion because discussion is getting buried in code posts.
I think it'd be easier to start a new thread for the discussion as this one has already derailed.

Have to say this beta is pretty good imo:
- Just made 3 custom friends list (Including one for neogaf members only).
- Changed to the superior black notification theme.
- Notifications and Clock on the Quick Menu are god send, especially when on PSVR.
- PSVR improvements are welcome.
Now i we could only hide demos/betas from our library, my PS4 would be complete.

What's there to discuss really?
This is the most barebones 'major' PS4 update I can think of.
