    I can live with that. By that time we should all have reasonably powerful and cheaper netbooks or 13inch and under laptops.

    I'm ok with that, I can't imagine I'd ever want to go back to playing on the PS3 once I get the PS4 version.

    Dunno why somebody would want to go back to the ps3 version for bad fps and graphics when the ps4 version is supposed to be comparable to PC on high settings

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Only thing I can see is that this would mean hubby and I would have to get two ps4s instead of sharing one!


    (Totally understand them doing this....and I totally know he's going to end up getting to use the ps4!)

    I'm glad it is going to be 1920x1080. I was worried they would only give us a 720p version.

    Thanks to Black Friday, in Canada you can pick up the PS3 version for $15 from EB Games - http://www.ebgames.ca/gs/landing/fly...2013/page2.htm .

    In the US you can buy the PS3 version for half price from the SE store - http://store.na.square-enix.com/stor...0#.UperrcTWiL4 .

    There might be better alternatives for US people but I'm Canadian.

    I just wonder if this would require you to leave the PS3 disk in the PS4 to run the game...

    Considering the PS4 cannot play PS3 games I don't see how that would be possible lol.

    I'm sure it's just going to be a PSN/Mog Station-side one-time check.

    That's how those PS3 to PS4 upgrades like call of duty ghosts work, no? I thought I read that somewhere.

    Then use the original PlayStation®3 disc in the PlayStation®4 to activate and start playing.

    So, will you have to first register the game through the PS3 to be able to upgrade to the PS4?

    I don't have a PS3 anymore so I won't be able to.

    Or is there a code in the PS3 game package that I'll be able to register with SE to show I have the PS3 game?

    Just convenience, really. I can imagine pretty simple situations like the one Ksandra describes where someone else might be using the PS4, etc. I honestly don't understand why they make the service accounts separate like this at all. I really want to wish that this is just a master plan so they can eventually drop PS3 altogether because everyone migrates to the PS4, but given SE's track record I doubt that'll happen.

    Yes, I imagine you would need to have the game registered on PS3 first.

    There will be hard copies available for sale if you didn't buy the PS3 version.

    That being said, if you're strapped for cash, pick up a $15 PS3 version and then upgrade to the PS4 version for free.
