I can't seem to get the public beta key to work. Everytime it generates me a new one it says already redeemed. Gave up already.

You can only get 1 code per id for the public betas. You can't redeem a code more than once. But you can redownload from the purchases tab, including updated versions.
If you go to the purchases tab in the mac app store it should show OS X Yosemite Beta 4. That's the PB4. Click the Download button to get it.
However for the developer GM, a new code has to be redeemed from the mac dev center or ios dev center to get the full installer.

Yosemite was released today on the mac app store.
It has build 14A389.
Here is how to make a bootable usb of the yosemite installer after you download the full installer app from the mac app store.
Format an 8 GB USB drive which should be called Untitled and formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The installer should be called Install OS X Yosemite.app and should be in your Applications folder.
Run this in terminal and wait about 20 minutes:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction
You can boot up from it by selecting it from the startup manager you get when starting your computer and holding down the option key.

I got the official release today and installed on my gf MacBook Air. Feels nice mostly but not always a fan of new art direction.

I will install it tomorrow at uni to avoid using my own data
10.10.1 was released today. The update is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1779. It has build number 14B25.
A full installer is also available on the mac app store and a bootable usb can be made the same way as for 10.10 build 14A389.

Updating the recovery partition via USB installer
Just updating 10.10 to 10.10.1 with the delta update via apple's software update website, or the mac app store will not update the yosemite recovery partition.
But if you make a bootable usb installer for 10.10.1 with the full installer from the mac app store, you can use it to update the recovery partition too. Just run it over 10.10 or even 10.10.1 if you already have it installed, and the recovery partition will be updated to a 10.10.1 version.
Just beware that if you previously reverted a core storage logical volume created by a previous yosemite installer, this method will convert it back to core storage, so another revert will be necessary if you want to be able to edit your partitions again.
So here is the reverting method again if you deem it necessary:
Run these 2 commands in terminal.
diskutil cs list
and then
diskutil coreStorage revert lvUUID
where lvUUID is the last lvUUID reported by the previous Terminal command.
Then restart for everything to get back to normal after you have run these commands in Terminal.
