Was there a sign up at some point to be a part of the beta for PS4? I guess I missed that. I would've like to partake in the service, especially since I never owned a PS3
I got invited to the first open beta a couple months ago and pretty much found out about it because of the invite, so yeah I would say random. Only thing I can say anecdote wise is I have been registered to PSN for years, I am a PS plus member, and I purchase quite a lot of my games digital download, but I never entered anything, made a request, like I said literally found out about it when I got the invite.
Pretty sure you have to register via the PS Blog. You put in your email and PSN ID. Got mine wihtin a few hours. The PS4 beta has been pushed back for a week or two. They're still actively sending PS3 beta invites.

So there was no sign up for the beta? They just select people at random?
There is a signup site, not sure how quickly it'll get you considered but you'll at least have a better chance of getting invited if you go on there and signup.
I got a second one on the 20th, but strangely it went to my other email, in addition to the fact that the email code mentioned it was for the PS3 which I'm already in the Beta for. I've heard numerous others state the same thing happened and it seems PS3 ones were also sent out in another batch. I'm assuming I got that invite again b/c I did the page signup and used the other email, then forgot I had did it, lol. I'm assuming the original invite I got then must have been a genuinely unsolicited personal invite sent. But they told us that those of us already in the beta for PS3 *should* get an invite automatically, so I'll continue to wait (especially seeing as though I don't have a PS4 just yet, the wait won't kill me as bad).
As far as I know just having an active PSN account is all you needed to do.
I went to a website and signed up for it a while back. GS had the link in an article I read on here.
People that use the beta will receive occasional emails from Sony asking about their experience with it. That's what it says in the Beta Code email I got.
Sorry for not knowing about the sign up. that is why I did say my experience was based on anecdote because all I know is I got an invite without ever signing up anywhere.
Do they have a beta for PS4 too? I just have the PS3 beta, didn't know they released it onto ps4 yet
Yep. That's what I signed up for because I don't have a PS3.
Just got my ps4 invite today!
Me too! Guess that means, I may be upping the time of me getting a PS4 sooner, lol (or at least as soon as my monies comes in, heh). Not bad job rolling it out, Sony. I honestly wasn't expecting to get it THIS soon, so that cool!
Better make sure I pull that email out of my inbox folder and put it in my 'Accounts' folder--just to keep me from deleting it by mistake (or it getting invariably LOST, aka drowned, in my inbox folder before the week is out, lol) until I get my PS4.
