There's no way for them to 100% verify you own a PS3.
My PS3 and PS4 is activated to my one goddamn PSN account and it's a digital pre-order, at worse it'd be gameshared on one other console, this isn't popping in a disc for verification at all.

Your interest is irrelevant. Konami is well aware that if you go to biggest stores in Switzerland right now to buy PS4, they will take your preorder and say to you to expect console to arrive in late May/early June [in EU shipments are so small and thirst is so real T_T].
PS3 version of the game will sell much more than PS4 version.
Finally following Steam's trend of incentivizing digital pre-orders with free legacy games. I hope other companies start doing this. They'd be able to do this on PS4 if it had backwards compatibility.

There's no way to assume that a PS4 owner has a PS3 as well. That'd be a lot of either wasted or sold codes, ya?

Why would it be unreasonably advantageous to the buyer?
... Are you sure about that one? Because most pre-order bonuses are done via PSN codes. Even Store bonus offers (10$ Back on 50$ Spent) are done via PSN codes. Why would they account lock it here?
Either way, if a PS4 person bought this, they would have literally no use for it unless they had a PS3. It's a bad thing to ask for. Ask for a price drop instead.
Yes I'm 110% sure about this. Got Bioshock 1 that way for pre-ordering Bioshock:Inf.
When you pre-order/buy the store knows it and it makes xxx game free to download. Again it's tied to your profile and there are no codes.
Right now it's big fuck you from konami to ps4 owners who are paying more from konami.
From a consumer standpoint none of the logistics behind this promotion are my problem. All I see is a 19.95 version getting a free game, and a 29.95 version getting nothing.
Perhaps Konami should've thought this through before launching this promotion, I'm sure there's a way to solve this [Pre-order, receive link in email inbox, click link to redeem Peace Walker PS3 code. People with a PS3 can redeem, people without won't so Konami won't have unused codes. Everybody wins].
It's just a byproduct of the system. They don't know that you didn't sell or lose your PS3 or something. Not everyone remembers to deactivate their PS3 after getting rid of it. Just because you have one registered on PSN isn't 100% proof that you have access to a PS3 at that moment.
I guess if you literally pre-ordered the PS4 version on a PS3 (which I think is possible) that might work.
The way you described is basically the best way to do it, but it would just lead to a whole lot of Peace Walker HD codes being sold, driving down the value of that. Who knows what they'll do
The system lets me cross buy stuff on PS3 for the PS4, there is zero excuse for the same offer to be extended to the PS4.
And you're removing the fact that they would be giving PS4 owners a copy of a PS3 game, which is useless for most.
How can you drive something further down than free?
It's also useless for any ps3 owners who already own Peace Walker so ?
It makes zero sense to fuck those who are getting the more expensive ps4 version.
it probably will in some form, but you will have to wait for phantom pain to come out which could he a couple years.As in I dont have a ps4 yet so I definitely wouldn't mind a digital ground zeroes on ps3 if I could get the ps4 version with pp later on. For collecting purposes.
I think you read my post wrong - I want gz to come free with ps4 phantom pain
Yet another reason for ps4 owners to wait for
a sale or cheap used. GG Konami lol

*sigh* Pretty much.
Unless they add a big ass asterisk that says : * PEACE WALKER HD DOESN'T WORK ON THE PS4, VITA, OR PSP. ONLY ON THE PLAYSTATION 3 HOME ENTERTAINMENT CONSOLE.

I'm saying why wouldn't they give the option if the only person to be disadvantaged would be the person who doesn't have the PS3 and claimed they did.

Not very well thought out. Pay more, get less for PS4? Nice fuck you to their 6million new customers.
Already have Peacewalker HD. Come up with a better deal Konami.
I don't get that bit. Free things are better than no free things.

Preorder numbers must be low
Wait what ?!?
So for 20$ you get MGS:Ground Zeros (ps3) and MGSeace Walker (ps3)
But buying MGS:Ground Zeros (ps4) for 30$ gets you nothing ._.

Any news on this? There still isn't a pre-order offer on the US PSN store...
