>UPDATE< Regarding PS3 -> PS4 UPGRADE

====UPDATE==== Was looking at the webstore and found that the PS3 copy was listed as free, as it should've be since I preordered. After that I purchased the PS3 copy, and after few seconds of refreshing the page, the PS4 was showing as free too. See you on the tower guys! ============== The problem with this is that Bungie forgot to put this answer in the official page about the upgrade, but you can still find it here: http://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/12122 [b]Q. If I pre-ordered the PlayStation®3 digital version, when will my PlayStation®4 digital version of Destiny be available?[/b] The PlayStation®4 digital upgrade will be available to you as close to launch as possible. We anticipate the PlayStation®4 version will be ready for you by Wednesday 9/10 at 6pm PDT, but please check back here for updates. Unfortunately, the PlayStation®4 upgrade will NOT be available for pre-order or pre-load. [quote][b]ready for you by Wednesday 9/10 at 6pm PDT, [/b][/quote] [quote][b] Wednesday 9/10 at 6pm PDT[/b][/quote] you can use this countdown: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20140910T18&p0=137 If you purchased both the versions assuming you were supposed to do that to make the upgrade work, check the refund policies for the PSN STORE: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/344/~/requesting-a-refund#6 Take it with a grain of salt, but using the Sony customer support it seems that the purchase of the PS4 one actually give you access to the PS3 versione as well from: http://www.gamepur.com/news/16099-pre-ordered-destiny-ps4-digital-version-you-will-get-ps3-version-free-after.html

  • It's been a bit of a farce but I've finally got the PS4 version. In the end I had to buy the already purchased PS3 version (for free) and that then made the PS4 version free to download. Before that it said that I couldn't download the PS4 version because I already owned it (but it wasn't in my library or download list). All sorted now, just waiting for the "Transferring Game Content" part to finish which does seem to be taking a long time even on my 50mb broadband so I presume it's just busy server side. Thanks for all the support and comments everyone.

    • Great, now the ones that purchase the PS3 version on the store get the PS4 unlocked as well, how difficult it is to make the same for us who preordered?

              Yep. It's absolutely ridiculous the way this went down. [url=http://web.archive.org/web/20140908053932/http://www.destinythegame.com/digital-upgrade]The original promo page[/url] did not have that FAQ item, and if you read the first FAQ answer it sounds as if it will be an immediate license!: [quote]When you buy/redeem the Destiny Digital Base Game, Digital Guardian Edition, or Expansion Pass on or before January 15th, 2015, you can download the Playstation®4 version from the PlayStation®Store for free by doing the following: - Log into your PlayStation®4 using the same Sony Entertainment Network Account (PSN ID) used to buy/redeem the Destiny digital content on PlayStation®3. - Navigate to the Destiny content page or search for the corresponding item you purchased previously on PlayStation®3. - Add the item to your cart and complete the transaction. - Wait for the download to complete.[/quote] Anyone with experience doing this in the past (during the launch period with Battlefield 4 and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag or with cross play Vita/PS3/4 titles) would have assumed it would immediately show as you owning both on your account. This misinformation was so poorly handled that all they did when they realized there would be a delay is [url=http://www.destinythegame.com/digital-upgrade]update the freaking promo FAQ[/url] with that 4th question and answer. I had to actually scour multiple forums to find out what the hell was going on! Bungie used to treat its customers better than this. Is this what happens when you lay in bed with Activision? Shit like this will tarnish the Bungie brand name. I know I'm pretty vexed and I've been a fan since Pathways!

              • I need help for the digital upgrade offer. I was double-charged for preordering both the PS3 and PS4 versions on the playstation store. Is it possible to get a refund for one of them? I already called sony but their customer support told me to call Activision instead. Who should I refer this problem to?

                  • I really wish that had been on the main upgrade page. I'll be honest, I bought the PS3 version because it was £5 less than the PS4 version but I wouldn't have bothered if I had known that I'd have to wait a day or so to be able to play the "free" PS4 version. It looks like the opening section is the same as the Beta so I'll just play on the PS3 for now and hope that all of my progress is indeed carried over to the PS4 version when it's available to download.

                    • Hopefully they get it ready sooner than that. I'm on the east coast, and Wednesdays are my one afternoon off. Was looking forward to 8+ hours of destiny on ps4.

                    • Well this is pretty dumb. Guess I'm not playing until the weekend. How hard is it to make the game available to us immediately? Cross buy games do it all the time. #crappybusiness #irritated #poorlyhandledlaunch

                      • how is that close to launch... does that mean that time at the latest? so it might be earlier and does this include uk etc?
