No, you paid for the PS3 version. You certainly didnt pay for the ps4 one.
Sorry your right. I'm paying an extra $10 for 1080p. Sounds like a swell deal.

That's offset by this quote two paragraphs down though...
...which is why there's still some discrepancy there. I commented on the blog, so hopefully they clarify this!
Gamers who purchase the digital version of any of these four games will not need to redeem a code to receive their PS4 versions. When your PS4 arrives, just look for the PS4 version of the game on PlayStation Store it will appear on PlayStation Store on your PS4 for the discounted price of $9.99. Just purchase it and start playing!
Should just get the ps4 version. Same price at retail.
should tweet @YOSP. he might answer you faster than the blog.
Since there are the cut off dates to redeem the codes, I think the second quote means you can redeem the code before the end of the offer for the game even if you don't have a ps4 to download the ps4 version on yet. Then when you finally get the ps4, you'll still be able to pay the $10 price. You'll still the need disc to boot the game though.
But yeah, it needs to be clearer.

I was meaning why not just wait a week or so and just get the next-gen version, but I realize this promotion is for those impatient folks lol.To get the next gen version of the game? I meam as opposed to buying a full copy for $60.
I sort of expect we'll be seeing that once the dust settles some. Though it's probably hobbled by retailers who don't want to be undermined by digital... though if they cared that much they should be pushing for nicer packages than just digital pre-order crap that'd only push me more and more towards it as the packages become otherwise lame.The digital versions should have been cross buy to encourage more digital sales.
Funnily enough the most relevant case for being impatient (Final Fantasy XIV) IS a free upgrade. Figures really.I was meaning why not just wait a week or so and just get the next-gen version, but I realize this promotion is for those impatient folks lol.
there is none.
you can redeem the code at any time.
it flags your PSN account.
when the PS4 version is available, the network checks your account, it sees the flag, you get the special price instead of the normal price.
you can buy it for $9.99
if you want to *play* it, you need the PS3 disk.
Just... wait two weeks? Is that so hard?
So we need to insert the ps3 into the ps4 to play the ps4 version?
So if we get it from the store we won't need to keep taking out the disc to play either version? hmmm
Very tempting
This.how many of those games have transferable saves? That's the key.

On the 360/XB1 you get to trade a physical disc for a physical disc through select retailers. So you pay $70 and at the end of the day you have a next-gen game that you own and a last-gen game that you don't own.
On the PS3/PS4, at the end of the day you've paid $70 and you have a last-gen game that you own, and a next-gen game that you don't own.
Anybody who can't see how this is a worse deal, well, I guess you really like Sony.
(I have a PS4 preordered FYI, and am buying BF4 for it).
and what if we go digital?
Could someone play BF 4 on my ps3 while I'm Playing it on the ps4? (using different PSN accounts)
I would think so

Not everyone is buying a console on launch day.
But don’t wait: This program lasts for a limited time. You’ll need to redeem your code and make the purchase before January 31st, 2014 (for Assassin’s Creed IV and Watch_Dogs), March 28th (for Battlefield 4), or March 31st (for Call of Duty: Ghosts) in order to participate.
.
It should definitely be free. Not sure how anyone could call this a good deal.

For me, it all depends on whether or not you have to keep the PS3 disc permanently. Is it just a one-time activation and then you're done? Or would I have to put the PS3 disc in every single time to play the digital PS4 game?
Jeez, just wait a couple of weeks.
well, there is no disk to take out!
I'd prefer to get a new PS4 disc and case for the upgrade, but this isn't a bad offer...especially if you like multiplayer games and you're the only one of your friends upgrading to the new consoles. Then you can at least go back and play on PS3 sometimes and play on PS4 when you want.
Seems pretty silly to me. Just wait two weeks and then play the superior version.
That fact you are required to keep the ps3 game to play the ps4 game has caused me to loose interest in this offer, however amazon .Co .UK just announced a decent upgrade offer which actually interests me more even before this was offer was fleshed out.
um, because you've already paid for it?
That's not true as there are also retail trade-in programmes in addition to this.On the 360/XB1 you get to trade a physical disc for a physical disc through select retailers. So you pay $70 and at the end of the day you have a next-gen game that you own.

Well sucks to be that person doesn't it?

For those of you who purchase the PS3 disc version of the games, you do not need a PS4 system to redeem your code, so feel free to redeem it as soon as you pick up your PS3 copy — you can download your digital copy later when your PS4 arrives.

What the fuck is this shit?To play the PS4 version of the game when it becomes available, youll need to insert the original PS3 disc in your PS4 to activate and play the PS4 version, so hang onto that PS3 disc!
