PS4 beta? How does this work?

[Cudda]

My questions about PS4 beta is this. Since I have to play on a "beta" server and not be able to use my characters, Will my subscription have to be "active" to get access to the Beta.

I feel that since I do not get to play my characters, and 100% of my play time will be on the PS4, I should not have to have an active subscription to beta test the PS4. Upon release in April, I fully expect to have to pay the monthly subscription though.

Also, is it to anyone else's expectation, that if my account has a PS3 flag, I am "automatically" in the PS4 beta? That is my assumption at this time. Any one else feel this way with what has been explained so far?

From what I understand is that the ps4 is going to be an open beta for anyone that wants to play there of it is not going to cost a thing... However you cant use your current character which totally blows IMO so I will not be playing the beta as per i've put in way to much time to even consider starting a new... I'll wait till the release in april then switch my account to the ps4 and cross my fingers for no 3201's

I agree about the character thing. My main goal of beta is testing out Remote Play and seeing how it runs with the new features of the PS4. Like with the touch pad and what not. Really hoping it revolutionizes my horrible experience I had on the PS3, as it was completely horrible when i tried playing on the ps3.

It's the upgrade others are talking about here
Once upgraded, i doubt you are able to play with the ps3 version anymore. (except if willing to pay both subs game boxes as you do to play with both PC and ps3)

fixed it a bit

Why we must have 2 different accounts for ps3 and pc instead of a single paid mogstation account and log on both freely? Isn't it dumb..

You can register every available platform to the same service account and you would then only need to pay 1 sub for all registered platforms on the account. Only the register keys for every platform you need to buy once.
Of course, if you register them to different service accounts then you need to pay sub for every service account.
