Sony is accepting beta testers for the upcoming PS4 Software Update. Registration for new beta testers is open and will begin sometime in early August. The PlayStation blog is yet to disclose what new features have been added. This new PlayStation preview program will allow beta PS4 owners to take several new features and fixes for a test drive before the rest of the world gets the update. There has only ever been two previous system beta test openings and it is usually when there are a lot of new features being added such as the one released in March adding remote play capabilities allowing PS4 owners to play on a Mac and Windows PC. Sony recently released an update 3.55. If you become a PS4 beta tester you can roll back at any point to the stable firmware should you decide. Do you want to become a PS4 beta tester and see the features and updates before anyone else? Register before it closes. You must be at least 18 to participate. You can register here.

Heck no! I will not join this program. I'm already mad I've updated my PS4 to 3.55. It's going to stay at 3.55 too. Automatic System Update *Uncheck*
