Support NeoGAF

[TheWorthyEdge]

Got email.

 

[Jomjom]

It says the entire beta program is confidential... so I don't know that OP should be posting this. It's why I didn't make a thread.

 

[Ephemeris]

Please remember that this is a private and confidential Beta and any information regarding this Beta are not to be discussed outside of the 2.50 System Software Beta Private Beta Forum and Issue Tracker.

Holy shit guys the NDA is literally in the email, is it really that hard?!

lol riiiiiiight?!

 

[darkside31337]

Holy shit guys the NDA is literally in the email, is it really that hard?!

Seriously. I am surprised Sony still bothers with this, they really need an even more narrow group of folks if they want to stop leaks

I never got that part. I literally just got sent the screencap that's in the OP. Maybe it's why they cut it out early.

 

[RedNumberFive]

As I've said in every PS4 firmware thread...

Harmony Remote adapter support or GTFO.

 

[Noobcraft]

Why NDA software features? Microsoft doesn't have an NDA on the preview program...

 

[TimeEffect]

Holy shit guys the NDA is literally in the email, is it really that hard?!

Yeah it's a dick move. But the details are private, for now. Matter of time, but still shitty to do.

Why should Sony make their Beta program private?

 

[BronsonLee]

Booooooooooooo.

Nah to emailing you details.

 

[Purest 78]

Nope, main features are looking pretty good. Not just stability.

Not sure if you should share this though

Please do you can't keep us hanging.

 

[Ocelott]

Holy shit guys the NDA is literally in the email, is it really that hard?!

Lol people are blind

 

[chubigans]

He cut it off before the 2.5 change log?

All I can say is...this is a big one.

 

[macewank]

Why NDA software features? Microsoft doesn't have an NDA on the preview program...

The preview program is public, this is not.

 

[Mandelbo]

Do we know if it's just America getting the invites so far?

 

[Roto13]

Why does anyone here care if someone is breaking an NDA? Do you care that much about Sony's ability to keep secrets?

Boom. Idk if this was a good idea for a thread. Chubigans ain't lying when he says its big.

 

[Kayant]

It doesn't say that the e-mail is under NDA (unless I am blind) but it only shows a couple features. The rest are locked behind a private beta tester forum that explicitly says it cannot be shared.

Read the third paragraph again.

 

[Ascenion]

Holy shit guys the NDA is literally in the email, is it really that hard?!

To be fair OP was sent the pic from a friend and the pic doesn't have the NDA, so the OP didn't know.

 

[SerTapTap]

Why should Sony make their Beta program private?

Beta feature breaks
Beta feature is delayed to next firmware
Then:

• Private: No one knows (barring a leak...ahem)
• Public: SOOOOOONYYYYYYYYYYYY MUH FIRMWARES

 

[darkwing]

crazy leak, I'm an MVP but I learned about this here first, everything is supposed to be NDA including the email

 

[Yurikerr]

All I can say is...this is a big one.

So now all the people that were waiting to purchase a ps4 can validate their choice?

Spoiler

kidding

For those who received the email, there's some indication of the time frame that it will be released?

 

[Derpyduck]

Why does anyone here care if someone is breaking an NDA? Do you care that much about Sony's ability to keep secrets?

I got the same email. I didn't break the NDA, but I also don't care if anyone else does.

 

[RoboPlato]

LOL at all the whining about NDA being broken. This is GAF, we usually thrive on leaks.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

crazy leak, I'm an MVP but I learned about this here first, everything is supposed to be NDA including the email

Yeah. Your friend shouldn't have sent this to you lol

 

[Schweinehund]

Why does anyone here care if someone is breaking an NDA? Do you care that much about Sony's ability to keep secrets?

I was wondering that myself. People didn't give a shit during SWTOR or other MMO betas.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Get your shit together Sony! Monthly updates are being delivered on the other side of the Force. Come on

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Grrrr, someone somewhere is gonna leak this.

 

[jiggles]

Someone just tell us what they learned from their "friend" and put us out of our misery.

 

[darkside31337]

MVP program used to have a lot of cool stuff. It's been narrowed down lately because people cant follow an NDA.

 

[strafer]

What if OP works for Sony and the leak was intentional to break wind

 

[Derpyduck]

Boom. Idk if this was a good idea for a thread. Chubigans ain't lying when he says its big.

Why is it a bad idea for a thread? It's news.

 

[BronsonLee]

Someone just tell us what they learned from their "friend" and put us out of our misery.

All I know is I damn sure won't be the one to take that leap, that's a terrible idea.

Think about how many MVPs there are, and who got this email. It's a real short list to track, people.

 

[Noobcraft]

Today I learned that tons of GAF members are PlayStation MVP's.

 

[Ramza]

Removed the screencap from the OP since it's apparently NDA. I'm wondering if that's why they cut that part out of the e-mail they sent me.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Boom. Idk if this was a good idea for a thread. Chubigans ain't lying when he says its big.

Big as in 1 huge thing in there is big, or big as in tons of small things which makes it big?

Can you guys at least say that?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Why is it a bad idea for a thread? It's news.

Its not a bad idea its just kinda dangerous

 

[Blanquito]

Good software development practice

 

[mcrommert]

Today I learned that tons of GAF members are PlayStation MVP's.

I'm really surprised at that news







Seriously

Spoiler

/s

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Here comes suspend/resume, I guess.

 

[chadskin]

The secrecy from Sony about a freaking firmware beta testing program for PS MVPs is hilarious. Only in the gaming industry™.

 

[hawk2025]

lol, content under NDA leaks here and throughout the internet all the time.

No idea what's going in this thread with people being super worried about it. It's not GAF's concern if someone decided to leak information they shouldn't.

 

[bananafactory]

Here comes suspend/resume, I guess.

I doubt they would sneak out suspend/resume like this. They'd be talking about it far in advance and hyping it up

 

[TimeEffect]

Removed the screencap from the OP since it's apparently NDA. I'm wondering if that's why they cut that part out of the e-mail they sent me.

Probably. Which is the respectful thing to do, since he/she is getting this access on the MVP forum.

I'm guessing talking about the beta access isn't wrong, but it seems pretty rude to give away the feature details. I'm guessing there isn't anything wrong with your pic, as it doesn't talk about the details of any features.

I was under the assumption that your friend told you about the features itself.

 

[pr0cs]

I'm really surprised at that news

well it really explains a lot of things that go on around here, that much is certain

 

[Carl]

Only MVPs? Should be open like MS. Still, a step in the right direction

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Its not a bad idea its just kinda dangerous

yeah. super dangerous. what if they don't actually bring any more firmware updates now. oh shi

 

[BronsonLee]

Big as in 1 huge thing in there is big, or big as in tons of small things which makes it big?

Can you guys at least say that?

The number update is signifciant, it seems..

The secrecy from Sony about a freaking firmware beta testing program for PS MVPs is hilarious. Only in the gaming industry™.

It seems like that email got leaked in record time, though. It's like getting into a boat and it immediately sank into the ocean because of how many holes it has
