US only?
Apparently not, having read through the terms and conditions. It says they send you a download code if you’re accepted, so I figure it’s worth signing up and deciding if I want to accept it if/when it’s offered to me.
No, but they didn’t bother to edit this US article to have a Aus relevant link.
Here is the link for Aus PSN accounts – https://psnbeta.eu.playstation.com/SS3/enroll.php
No thanks, I want my ps4 to work when Metal Gear is released..
It would be good if they sent you a PS4 to test it on!
Edit: Just read the T&Cs.

Bricks your console – you get $10.
Does that mean, long hours or dad of update?!!!
Shivers*
So this is a one time beta test rather than a preview program style setup? I can understand why they wouldn’t want to commit to an on-going system but I’ve got to wonder why they’d bother with a one off beta test. What’s actually in this update?
There is already a PS beta community… not sure if they’re just looking to expand the membership of that or if this is a separate program specifically for this update.
Really? That makes it even stranger. I can’t imagine there’s any shortage of people willing to participate in their regular beta program.
