Cool, was planning on going to GameStop to get PS+ (& Tales of Xillia), but might use the $20 in Amazon credit that I was saving for Rayman Legends on that instead. Need to renew my subscription soon, though maybe I'll save it to see if that whole "sub to master upgrade" deal is actually true.

As a UK-GAFer, I want to buy AC:IV digital PS3 and upgrade to the PS4 version... would this be possible? How would you upgrade it?

Wait, so Canada GAF can't buy PS+ and expect to play online with their main account?
I have to buy $50 PS+ like a jerk?

GMG are already hinting about it on their twitter. Not sure what region the codes are though.
Hey, guys, on the listing for Battlefield 4 it has this in the item description:
"Digital Code for the PS3 version; doesn't not work for the PS4"
I assume it's supposed to say doesn't work for the PS4, but does that mean this particular game won't be upgradable?
And, I asked this before but it may get lost on the previous page: Is there a limited number of purchases on that Battlefield 4 deal or is it unlimited as long as you're in the window?
EDIT - UPDATE:
I just got done chatting with an Amazon rep and they said there is only going to be a limited number of the Battlefield 4 deals available.

I recently bought a PS+ 1 year pass from a US gaffer in the b/s/t thread and it worked on my Canadian account.
US PS+. Confirmed working on Canadian account.
Does US credit $20/$50 work?
Do US games in this sale work?
Yeah.
"Purchases of the PS3 version of "Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time" include the downloadable version of the same game for PS Vita"
For the retail version, it doesn't say that in the details but it's included in the box.

Gonna jump on that PS+ deal. Amazing savings for real. How does xbox live even compete with its value.

A $40 Fifa on PS4 code would have been nice.

Just bought ACIV PS4 for 60...
But I had a 10$ credit and I'm getting one back, so not bad.
I bought BFIV for 41 too, but at least that's physical.
hrmhrm

All lightning deals are limited. That Battlefield 4 deal is probably gonna get sold out almost instantly.

No.
No. Even the bundles don't discount the Premium (outside of the extra $5 credit).
Nope.
Yeah, I just didn't know if the same thing was true for digital deals or not. A three hour window is ridiculous for something that'll be gone immediately. I'm still concerned there is a disclaimer saying the code won't work with PS4 version. I don't know if that's to stop idiots from buying it to try and run on their PS4 or because you won't be able to upgrade it.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Damn... I added $120 to my PSN wallet just mins before reading this thread (to buy BF4 and premium) wtf I'm an asshole!

Are these lightning deals that could show up at any time tomorrow or will they all be posted at 3:00am EST like the Kotaku article suggests?
I have been buying games at retail for the same price as what they are digitally day 1. That should not be the case. Day 1 digital should be max 50$ due to skipping the middle man. It does me no good if digital games are price matched to retail outside of sales. Digital should always be a lower price.

Hm..BF4..i want to get it but i don't know. Didn't finish KZ and didn't even touch AC4 yet. $35 is hell of a deal though damn.
So I was shilling?
A. I didn't even have an account when doritogate was a thing and
B. I only have one next gen system...and its a ps4.

Because a game bought digitally should never cost the same as retail. Sony skips the middleman as well as physical costs associated with shipping a product. Digital goods should be consistently cheaper than their physical counterparts. If they price digital games aggressively it will help ease the transition to digital as the games will be much cheaper than normal.
Oh okay sorry for the reaction. Good day sir or madame!
Sure why not just redeem the code on the web store and then buy the $10 upgrade at this link:

Is it possible to have two main accounts on a PS4? I have Plus on my EU account (which will be required to access online play) but I want to redeem Amazon games on my US account.

And the benefits of the amazon deal already paying off. I was surprised the games media didn't make a bigger deal when it happened. It's the game changer console digital games needed. If they open up to GMG and others we could see a steam like ecosystem develop

Yes. Also true for PS3, not true for Vita or PSP.

Yeah, I have US account and EU account games on my PS3 at the same time right now but I was wondering if the PS4 Plus online requirement works differently.
Amazon is making me excited for a digital future! No more 70 ($95) games for me.

And they said Microsoft was pushing us into the digital future. Yeah right... This sale alone shows how dope Sony is trying to push digital retail. That BF4 price makes me want to return mine just to buy it for that cheap.. Damn.

The season pass bundles DO NOT give you a discount! Notice how season pass bundles on both BF4 and Call of Duty are $50 more than the regular sale game without the pass. The pass itself costs $50 normally.

I wonder if Green Man Gaming will ever sell PSN codes down the road. That would be amazing.

I noticed some more sales on the "Upcoming" section!
The Last of Us will be $25 on Friday. This is really the best thing Sony has ever done. Uncensored Last of Us is gonna be mine!
edit: Beyond Two Souls is physical only
