ACIV PS4 digital version for $40

I can't fathom that not working. The game is installed to your HDD regardless of whether you use the disc or download it. In theory, the only difference as far as your PS4 is concerned is a brief verification of the disc upon boot (and perhaps intermittently during gameplay). The save file should be agnostic.
I can verify I had no issue doing this exact same thing with BF4. Never say never, but...
That's how Amazon handles PSN DD purchases. You have to confirm your CC before you can view the checkout page.
Fake address and all?

Gah! I can't decide between the PC or PS4 version. On one hand, PS4 is guaranteed to run smooth, but on the other hand my PC is pretty powerful so running it SHOULDN'T be a problem (then again it is Ubisoft..). Is the PC version really that much better? Any suggestions would be appreciated, I wanna jump on this lower price they got going today
Guess I'll miss out then. :/

Goddamit. Is there somewhere I can get AC4 on 360 for that price? Need a bday gift.
It's $30 physical on Amazon right now.
If I had to guess, he had some credit left over from somewhere and he's just showing off.

Yep! My US account's now been locked by Amazon - turns out this isn't guaranteed to succeed
FWIW my credit card is also linked to my UK Amazon account - if anyone's doing this I'd suggest using a different card to the one you have hooked up to your real account just in case.

That probably explains it then. Possibly some sort of fraud protection thing they've built in.

I have the same thing and got the same message when ordering KZ. After an hour I got the download code from Amazon.

Wait so I don't have a PS3 can I still redeem the code? Also, I have 10 dollars credit that came with the system can I use that? I'd rather not put my credit card on PSN.
Automatic with the regular updates. They didn't even mention it in the patch notes I don't think. Just mentioned various bug fixes, but it's in there.
Looks great now.
Yeah I was gonna say it looks amazing off the bat, but it may come with said patch

Anybody? Can I redeem the code without a PS3?
Yes. Look on the first page, it is talked about.

Well consider that shit bought then. 30 bucks plus 10 SEN credit that came with PS4. Deal enough for me.
yes

Not here, I'm definitely banned. I can't log in despite changing my password and have had no sign of a code after a good 4 hours. Chalking this one up to experience! Nothing lost apart from a shot at a good deal on a game I thankfully didn't really want.
I might come back and try again in future ... maybe for Driveclub

I'm guessing there is still no demo up on PSN?

Not yet. Will keep close tabs on my account over the next few days, though.

Uplay is in every version, but the console versions have an integrated version for the rewards/unlocks, multiplayer, and second screen gaming
Honestly, enjoying this wayyyyy more than I initially thought. I was a huge AC fan up until Revelations, when my enthusiasm began to wane, got hyped for 3 as a history buff, and was so thoroughly disappointed I basically wrote the series off. Didn't follow it much, picked it up for PS4 out of habit/needing launch games, and have been engrossed. Played it for a few days straight over the holiday, it got it's hooks in good.
Still has some shitty remnants of 3 (I hate a lack of high/low profile, and the running trying to be to clever caused issues still) but it feels fun and open in a way 3 never did.

Hmmm ... I wonder what's going here. Is this just a case of Amazon doing stricter credit card checks or has this something to do with PSN store that already has a very strict credit card fraud prevention policy?
I've been buying digital items (Steam games and ebooks) for almost two years now. Love those US prices. I don't want to jinx that by buying PSN games from the Amazon store if it could mean getting locked out of the regular digital Amazon online store.
I think the closest thing to a AC demo they've released are the MP betas they run before launching the game. I've never seen them offer a SP demo for the franchise.

Thanks, but shame for the referral link
Took a while for me, ~3 or so minutes.
Want to buy Battlefield, but not until they fix the thing. How long do you think it will be at 39.99 for?
No had the same thing. Took an hour.
Did uk gaffers add cc to the SEN/PSN account and Sony accepted it even though it would say its registered to a US address?

No I couldn't get my cc to work I bought psn credit off amazon as well.
Just been checking out the Amazon digital store.
Selection is a little limited, but I suppose you can just buy $60 worth of PSN credit and grab them off the store itself for any games that don't hit Amazon.
At £36 a game day one I'm more than happy to go full digital this gen, and that's discounting sales like today.
Hopefully there's nothing around the corner to trip us up. Still waiting on my first purchase to confirm with Amazon.

Thanks for the heads up on this one! Tempted to pull the trigger on BF4 also, but does anybody know if EA region locks their MP servers at all?

Nah. Just search for your own region using the server browser
I feel like this back door will get boarded up eventually hopefully gmg or amazon uk will hook us up eventually because fuck uk prices right now.
