You got the most important thing which is Boost Mode. Beta 3 and 4 just had some bugfixes, and better tracking for VR. Nothing major in my opinion...
Ghosting is not in the source, it's always the display tech.
With vr glasses you can properly assign image for eyes.

Please tell me to check my PM for the code I'll sweeten the deal, my firstborn gets named after you.

With boost mode I wouldn't be surprised if the beta ran longer then usual for extra testing

Heyyyyy .. Sony came through and emailed me a code redeeming it as we speak.
Everyone who signed up, check y'all email carefully. This was buried deep in my inbox's promotions folder, just did a random search in my gmail for the word "Code". I've had this email for about 4 days now.

What's the email invitation subject?
If anyone has a code, or a burner account I'm still looking.

If someone has a spare code that works with a Spanish account to share, I would be very grateful

This is the subject:
"Welcome to the PlayStation 4 System Software 4.50 Beta"
Again, Gmail owners, this seems to have gone into your Promotions tab. Run a quick email search with the word Code.

Yikes.
I just hooked up my new External 2 TB WD Elements Drive to my Standard PS4 since I have the 4.50 Beta installed.
I have a Seagate 1 TB SSHD as my internal drive.
Loading up Bloodborne from "Continue Game" to spawning into the Dream takes approx 10.5-11 seconds to load it up from the main menu.
Where as loaded onto the External 2TB, it takes between 13.25 and 13.75 seconds.
I honestly wasn't expecting the external to be almost a full 3 seconds slower, even if I have a SSHD, but the results were still interesting to me.
Guess I'll keep just the games I'm currently playing on the Internal, and anything I want to go back to later stored on the External and then I'll move then when I want to play them.

The only game I tested that had been paining me lately was Final Fantasy XV. Tried three times each on my internal hitachi 1TB 7200rpm vs my newly purchased external WD 4TB 5400rpm drive and the minute loang load times across all six times was the same down to the second. Not the best game to test I guess or maybe Pro hitting bottleneck already? Regardless it motivated me to just leave everything on the external.

I mean, I'm only on PS4 Standard now, so perhaps when I upgrade to Pro I'll get better results out of the External Elements drive?

Can confirm if you have a 3D TV, you can simultaneously have a 3D Blu-Ray movie output to both PSVR and your 3D TV, allowing for someone else to watch the same movie (but using 3D glasses instead of PSVR). If you have a non-3D TV, no audio or video will be output to to the TV. I tested this on my 24" PlayStation 3D Display and my (non-3D) 32" Vizio 1080p television. Interestingly, when I was outputting to the 3D display, I got an alert within PSVR that I was connected to a 3D display. I got my hopes up, thinking 3D games would work in PSVR like Blu-Ray movies do. Alas, when I downloaded Trine (which has 3D support), it only worked in 2D. Hopefully 3D support for games in PSVR will come in the future, but I doubt it.
I noticed some things being slow and sluggish. Resetting my router and modem seemed to fix it. Not really sure it's a beta issue.

Not scientific but they seem fast to me. I had some issue with very occasional stuttering during cut-scenes in Yakuza but it might have been an issue with the game rather than my set-up.
Still no code for me (EU)
When will this launch?
Dude, read the thread. People keep posting this. There are burner accounts. You don't need to wait.
But who should we PM to get to a burner account? The old thread got closed and I honestly don't how to set this up. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

I've got an external SSD hooked up in a USB 3.1 enclosure. I can confirm that it's fast

Anyone having issues using an external drive. I moved almost all of my library and then added the rest of my games to a 4TB external. Everything loads fine, but I noticed some slow down in MLB The Show 2017 and Horizon Zero Dawn has been skipping some audio.
Anyone have issues similar to this?
Played Hitman just now and there is also skipping on the cutscenes. Very weird and frustrating, especially on Horizon.

I'm not (Crucial MX300 525GB SSD in Vantec NexStar 3.1 2.5" enclosure). Hitman runs beautifully.

I'm using a 4TB Seagate Backup Plus and it's 2x 2TB Samsung Spinpoints inside. All the games runs great, it's just the cutscenes in Hitman, the audio skipping in Horizon and a slowdown in The Show 2016 when batters make their way to the plate.
I'm moving Horizon to the system storage to see if that clears up the issue.

As a new PS4 owner, I'm unfamiliar with how long it typically takes to go from beta to full release with PS4 OS updates. Does anyone have any guesses for when 4.50 might release?

Roughly 4 weeks on average, from Beta to release

I think the second week of March. It shouldn't be any later than that based on when the beta started.
Blargh. I was hoping 4.50 would finally come to the masses this week. 3D Blu-rays on PSVR is such a rad feature. Being laid up with a slowwwwly healing broken back I could so use that right now (miraculously, no damage to the spinal cord -- after recovery I'll have 90% of the range of motion I did before falling three stories, thank the maker)!
Perhaps I'll bite the bullet and PM someone for access to a burner, but I feel lame doing so :/
Edit: Please see my post a bit below. GAF RULZ OK!

I've been using my external hdd without issue since the beta started but today after turning my system on it said the external had an issue and needed to be repaired, informing me to use "stop using external storage" before disconnecting the external hdd. I didn't unplug it at all. What's going on?

Yeah, im getting stuttering on DS3 on the beginnin cutscene when installed on the external but on on the internal.

And like i said before, I am getting stuttering on DS3's beginning cutscene when installed on the external whereas i dont when installed in the internal. I think its probably caused by the same thing.
