TGC are selling Minecraft PS4 for 9.99£ (just today, I guess).

Does this include a disc, or is it just a PSN download code included in the box? I'm in Sweden, so I'm worried if it's the latter I won't be able to use it on my account.

Also, what is the exact situation with crossbuy and upgrading? I want the PS3/Vita version to be able to play on my Vita, but there's no way to "downgrade" from PS4 to Vita, is there? (Also, if there were, would it even be doable if you have the disc version?)

I've been with Play.com for years and recently got an email from the new Rakuten UK website offering me £5 off an order if I spent at least £7 with one store. I kind of faffed and didn't spend the money, but today they sent me a message saying it's a shame I didn't use my voucher but they were giving me 500 superpoints worth £5 directly on to my account anyway - which is better as I don't have to spend £7 to use them. So I've ordered The Legend of Korra season 1 for £4.70. Hope it's good!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your order on Play.com

We had a technical error on the Play.com site yesterday evening which caused errors in our listings.

Therefore we have had to unfortunately cancel your order.

why the fuck is there a 3.99EUR shipping charge lol

it's now MORE expensive for me to buy the same game with a 10% off voucher from the German store instead of buying without the voucher from the UK site which has free shipping to Germany lol. How ridiculous is that?

You pay for the extra service (German language).

My play.com order is still surviving. Just a matter of time, but holding onto faint hope that only Fire Emblem got caught.

Not just "a" shipping charge, a ridiculous shipping charge! Even Amazon just charges 3EUR lol ... 3.99 is laughable! Especially since it's a standard fee, no consideration if you ordered a piece of paper or a brick lol.

I got mine from Amazon.co.uk when they had a great deal on the Party pack+Mario Kart 8. There was no hassle and it has worked flawlessly (I had to plug it into a power converter since the power cable was, naturally, fitted for british power outlets. This shouldn't be a problem if you get one from Italy). As long as you're buying directly from Amazon.it or any "fulfilled by Amazon" seller they should ship just fine to Sweden, shouldn't they?

Battlefield 4 Premium is on sale on PS3 and PS4 stores. Along with all shortcuts and everything else.

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetw...mium/cid=EP0006-CUSA00049_00-PREMIUM000000001

Pro tip: Buying the PS3 version of premium is cross buy so unlocks on your PS4 copy. Saving you £3-4 in the process.

So here's the thing...I bought the disk PS3 version and upgraded. But I quite like the idea of going digital so...

If I buy the PS3+premium edition will my PS4 version workwithout the disk!?

so the 'top up £50 using paypal, get a £10 PSN voucher' looks to have no limit. I assumed it was a one-time thing but there is a banner on PSN saying you get £10 for every £50 you top up.

I don't particularly want to put lots on there, but I could reasonably add money to take me through Q1 next year, which would probably earn me enough for another game.

Can anyone confirm it'll work more than once?

Have you never owned DVDs?

NA = Region 1 (Region A for Blu Rays)

I haven't bought a DVD/Blu ray for years.

If that is the case, why list some games PAL, and others Region 2; aren't they the same thing?

Maybe they specifically have only EU versions in stock, thus Region 2. Australia is Region 4.

This is good info, thanks :) I'll look into it. I guess I'd prefer the Premium version though. I'm mainly interested in Bayonetta 2, so I'm pretty much only getting it for that one (two) game. OTOH, the Basic might be smart then.

Think it still works. There's a better guide on SavyGamer:

The PS4 version is free too.

Ah the PS4 version is apparently a trial download though, when it finish downloading and play the game it'll ask you to upgrade and it's £3.69, here's the upgrade link: https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-gb/minecraft-playstation4-edition/cid=EP4433-CUSA00265_00-MINECRAFTPS4ED02

Seems to be fixed now? can't get past the third step, as the game has the full price shown.

or maybe because i'm in NZ
