    Nothing's been given to us except extended trial time. No, they aren't going to just give you a PS4 copy because you got the PS3 version. Just like how they didn't give PC players free PS3 copies. They really have no reason to. All the sentiment over wanting a free PS4 copy is based on some odd notion that PS3 players got some kind of bum wrap and that the PS3 version is XIV's red-headed stepchild primed for a backhanding. I'm playing on the PS3 even though my laptop could run the Betas at near max settings. Why, cause I wanted to. I wasn't forced to play it to free up PC server space because the servers don't work like that. I even got the PS3 CE (and gave the registration code to a friend only to wind up actually needing it and having to go out and get another PS3 copy just to register). I don't feel cheated in my decision one bit and, if I had the opportunity to do it over again, I'd do it exactly the same.

    There is a lot of bitterness in that post LOL like i said, i was just wondering since other titles have HAVE enabled cheap ports to ps4 to ENSURE the ps3 market for the holiday season does not crash due to the impending release of p4.

    Yes, I shan't deny the bitterness. This question came up alot on the Beta forums, though not so much a question as outright demand claiming such nonsense as console limitations and lack of foresight. We have the PS3 version because it promised us back before they'd even released 1.0. I love that they kept their promise and as I said, no regrets having switched to the console.
