Be careful with that. Cod downloaded at 15 GB for me but has been slowly unpacking itself and I'm at nearly 30 now.
Honestly at this point I'm going by the box not the required download size.

Grabbed LEGO Marvel PS4 for £25.

I bought it like an hour ago and i still don't have the 5 bucks, which is weird because yesterday when I bought NBA 2K14 they sent me an email as soon as i bought it telling me that I had the bonus. So maybe ACIV doesn't have this bonus.
It does have the bonus as they emailed me about it. I then bought BF4 and they took off the $5 automatically.
and when you bought Battlefield they sent you another email for an extra 5 dollars?
Because I bought ACIV with the 5 bucks that i got before with NBA2K14, so maybe that's why.
It's going through additional verification so I've not had a confirmation email yet, but it should do when it goes through.
Re-posting here:
So, can someone walk me through how that works as a non US guy?
I have a US Amazon account and I bought some pc games there, so that works. I buy PS3 versions from Amazon for PS3, use my PS3?/PS4? with my US account to DL the games (once I remember the info) and then use a US PSN dollar card to add funds to the US account and upgrade from there? Yes? So, how much of a dollar amount would I need to buy for AssCreed4 and BF4 with those 5 buck promos?
Thinking about returning my b2g1 games (BF4, AssCreed4 with shiny metal case, Knack) to Amazon.de if I can get those games for ~100 instead of 140. I would have zero games to play then and dozens of hours of download before me, though.

Redeem the code on the webstore. You'll need to buy the $10 PSN card from amazon though to digitally upgrade to the PS4 version (which can also be done online). The $5 promo can only be redeemed on amazon against a game. Fortunately if you are buying multiple games it will automatically take the $5 off then next one.
Okay. So I'd need a 20 dollar card to upgrade two games.
Does remote play work with games from an account that is not the same as the one on Vita? I mean I use my US account to download and can play with my main account, but can I use RP when Vita is the same account as the main PS4? I hate Amazon.de so much right now.
Yeah, you'd need $20. If you set your US account on the PS4 as primary then you can play your US games with it on your EU account including remote play etc.
Hey guys I'm from the uk and managed to buy ac4 digital code for ps3 just fine, I then tried to get lego marvel ps4 digital code and $10 dollar digital code but those 2 said they needed additional checks and after about 2 hours they put my account on hold :-( what are my options now? As I can't buy those 2 things and I really need at least the $10 code to upgrade ac4

Great, thanks for confirming. Curiously, did your CA address work as the billing address, or did you have to use a US address?
Oh shit, they said they are doing additional checks on my account. That doesn't sound good. Did they say how to unfreeze your account?
Edit: Just got my game code, phew.
I never needed that with the PS3. I just logged into the US account, got the game, switched back to my main and it even continued to download and let me play later.
Random US billing address. CA didn't work.
Yeah, it is new for the PS4.

Ok, i see what you mean. Undercutting retails could mean less jobs and that physical copies of games wont excist anymore though. I mean, everyone wants to get stuff cheaper of course, nothing wrong with that, but undercutting retail isnt necessarily only a good thing. I also think that one reason why digital stuff isnt always priced much cheaper than physical copies is to keep the competition more fair. In the same way that stores get punished if they break the sales date (its not like there is any technical reasons why a game cant be sold earlier, its just to keep it so that one store doesnt have any advantage if they recieve the stock before another store). And there is also the question if ditigtal only versions will excist, is there any reason to lower the price when people are used to paying $60 anyway =)
Like this:
PS4: US is main account, EU account is secondary account.
Vita: EU account is the only account (thanks for locking memory cards to accounts)
Remote Play works on Vita.
???
If so, would that work with two accounts and tow Vitas? I have one, my brother has one. Both accounts that we also use on Vita on PS4 (how many accounts can be on there?), then RP would work for either of us?

Any deals for NBA2k14? It has a digital upgrade right?
If there is only one PS4 then yes, that will work. If there are two PS4s then the other vita will need to be set up with the US account because only one PS4 can be made the primary console for a single account as it is the console that is made primary and not the actual account.
i'm about to drop cash on a bunch of games but i have to make a final check since i'm from europe:
I have added a delaware adress to my amazon account and made that my 1-click adress.
I added my creditcard to the adress to pay for the games ( same as "splashing the cash" ? )
I then get the codes sent to my email ?
and lastly:
I open my american psn account, redeem codes, switch back to euro account and everything is grits 'n gravy ?
As anyone from outside of the US done this succesfully ?

Yes, codes redeemed, PS4 versions upgraded. All good to go for tomorrow.
Highly unlikely. It's worked this way for the PS3 for years now. They still get their money. No one loses really.

Yes, I paid with my Finnish credit card with a US address and successfully redeemed my CoD Ghosts on my US PSN account.
Try to check out with the Lego Marvel code and I bet they will take off the $5. That's how it worked for me.
I think that's the idea. I've got my AC4 ps3 code, which I will presumably redeem on my US PSN account (I'm in the UK, but have a US account from yonks ago), and then be able to purchase the upgrade code, assuming I can use a UK billing address?

Not even if someone from Sony is reading this thread. Only Amazon can do something like block our account, decline the transaction or make it harder to use a fake address.
For instance, a friend in the UK bought a couple of PSN games in quick succession from amazon, they blocked his account and asked him to provide a bank statement to verify his address.

Got AC4, now I wonder which game to get BF4 or COD:Ghosts.
I don't know which game is better in the long run, although BF4 is obviously more visually impressive.

Okay, hope mine goes through tomorrow.

Yeah, I bought AC4, then bought FIFA (two separate transactions) less than 2 minutes later and it just automatically took it off the price once I put it in the shopping cart. No email from Amazon or any other notification that I had 'received' the credit, you just get it as soon as you purchase AC4.

I had to delete my country's address in order to be able to finish the purchase =p
I'm sorry if this has been asked a thousand times before in the thread:
I'm a european, and currently only have a EU PSN account. If I create a US account and buy a game via Amazon's digital offers (and register+download it through my new US PSN account), will I be able to log in with my old EU account and play the game and even gain trophies on that account? I seem to recall hearing that you could do this on the PS3.

Yes, you can do that without a problem on both the PS3 and PS4.
Vita would give you a headache though.
