I'm the same, I've been a member for many years but I'm not convinced that being able to access the Beta forum means that we'll have access to this Beta. Maybe we will but I 'm not sure the two are necessarily tied in together.
System Software Beta
Sign up starts soon for the public, all beta members will be included so no need to sign up.
It seems I didn't get in. Why don't they do an open beta or something like the Insider Program on Windows 10? I'll never fully understand console gaming...
why not just wait for the release? a beta has a lot of risks and zero benefits
I'll never understand beta applicants...

Same. Around half 6 for me when the 3.50 beta launched.Last beta I got the email around 6-6:30pm.
Eh. I don't think Sony would push a beta with "a lot of risks". What "risks" are you speaking of, exactly? It may be not as ironed out as a final release, sure, but nothing that could break your system. Almost everything is in "beta" right now, really.
As for why not waiting for release... Why not? It's something new and I want to try it. I'm not complaining about the quality of the beta release. I don't care if it's unstable or if it's missing features. I want to try a product in development.
So people are saying on reddit if you can see the forums for this link you're in the beta. Sadly it says denied for me anyone else get a result?
Edit: U.S. Link only that I know of.

Thanks for taking part
You've been chosen for the PS4 4.00 System Software Beta Trial
My question is if the UI will stop being so sluggish and also glitchy, for example the overlay for pics and videos crashing in the store when you try to view pics while a video is playing.
And yeah the responsiveness of the UI is notably slower to me since I bought my console.
All of the new features are welcome improvements, I just hope they can address performance too.

To be honest was more about it working the opposite way, I didn't think that it meant that people who have access to the beta forum will necessarily not have access to the beta. I've no idea how they're doing this now but beta access in the past has rolled out during the day and I know that there;s been issues with people who do have access not getting access to the forum at the same time. I know there's been a few beta threads about that.Just read the forum dude, they said that us (the BT) doesn't need to sign up for the firmware beta because we are in. If we doesn't get the code you can contact the beta manager.
A post made 3 weeks ago on the private forum.
Just got back from my run to see that mine's turned up too.Just received my code, downloading now.

Yeah, I also noticed that they've added the ability to post screenshots straight from the Share Menu to the Community Wall.
720p/60fps streaming is in the notes too, that's new, right?
