You could appear offline on the PS3.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I've had a hard lock, a shutdown,soundcuts and the whole system slowing down and unresponsive.
I've Reported it and Reinstalled 3.15
It's not worth risking it there's no actual notable features anyway and it's very unstable so I ain't missing anything and I did my part.

another stealth update.
When you take pics and post them you can now tag a player on your friends list in the pic, as if they were playing with you or if they were.

Nope, you could only set yourself as "away;" but that didn't stop people from messaging you and spamming invites because they saw you were playing something.

Great, a feature requested since launch. They spared us no time in bringing us Playstation Now, though.
Folders is my biggest pet peeve so far, and I'm sure they'll drop the ball on that too. I want several rows for each category but it will probably be like the Tv/Video icons that house a bunch of apps within.

Yep. Works just like before.
Wonderful! Looking forward to this upgrade then.

Anyone else not liking the blue dot beside the avatar? I understand online (in)visible status is important, but the blue dot (which turns into a red one with a white cross in it, if you want to appear offline to friends) is a literal spot on a otherwise clean, sleek looking UI.

I'm not in the beta but I don't like things like this. Why not just put a thin border around the avatar? Green online, red offline.
that's probably because of this PS4 Rebuild Database Makes A Huge Difference
and it does happen every time with firmware updates, so no wonder UI feels faster after update
This is normal for Sony to add useless things every major update that was fine before.

It looks worse when you have friends online. Because then you have two blue spots (one with a number beside it, adding further clutter), neither of which are the same size, nor are they aligned.

Gonna bring it to @Toshimasa_Aoki 's attention. He's a good egg.
That looks really bad. It's like the firmware team has no idea what to add so they force themselves to come up with something just because.
Make sure you mention this terrible design choice in the beta forum. I doubt they'll change it anyway though.
Good idea.
yep, I don't like it too.

I'm still locked out of the beta forum. Can anyone else get in?
How do we even get to it?

nothing wrong with it at all. people just over reacting for no reason.
They really don't want us to manipulate the UI.

I'm not even sure why they do surveys for feature requests because they aren't really listening.

I used it all the time and was never bothered, each to their own though.

I think it's https://psnbeta.eu.playstation.com/ for EU, but I cannot get in. Server errors all the time.
I'm most excited by the PlayStation VR references tucked away in the Health & Safety section. I wonder how much VR groundwork is sitting behind the interface we currently see?
Probably a fair bit. I imagine 4.00 in 6-7 months time will be the 'big' VR update to coincide with launch, and that'll explain why this update is so barebones, their software team is mainly readying the system for VR.
Huh... Interesting!

They've added 3 things of the last survey so far.
5 if we count PS2 classics and Store wish list.
Maybe not many people voted for folders?

maybe because they have not got around implanting them into the UI? Maybe they are not finished? looks like most if the things from the survey are now on the system. There isn't a reason to still be crying

There is some serious OCD going on in this thread.
Well, if you ticked every option then your form wasn't worth anything to them.

Honestly, out of all of those, folders would be last on my wishlist.
But we need all those features...

So basically the next update will have folders and library filtering/removing... and maybe the wishlist in the console store.
No. It will focus on streaming to Baidu and Naver, and you will like it. Stickers might also be part of it.

The link is in the email they sent. I was able to access it in the last beta, but this time when I click the link, it says "access denied". I heard others were having an issue too, but surprised it hasn't been resolved.
