PS3 question

[YeaniNah]

It's for my brother ...
He bought a PS3 cos he had alot of PS3 game (old console was not his) but now he want to buy FF14 cos his pc broke ..
So we want to know since there is digital download for pc. Is there any Digital download for PS3 or do you still need the CD to play ff14 after install it. (sorry im not a console player) .. IF need CD to install only but not play is it possible to buy the game from square enix for the code and use CD of a friend to install???

For the PS3 edition, there is a digital download from the PSN store. Even if you did obtain a physical copy, there is no need to ever use the disc except for the initial install either. And as far as using someone else disc, I would assume so that you could as long as you had your own registration code, but I don't 100% know for sure. Hope that helps ^^

You can buy both the standard and limited editions on PSN or buy a physical copy. If you buy the physical the disc is NOT required to play the game. Though I have not done so in some time, back when the game first started on PS3, launching from the disc did improve stability to some small extent but not enough to be a deciding factor. If you got a digital version and wanted to use a disc for some reason you could, all that matters is the registration code you get/got when purchasing the game initially. Note that if you ever wanted to change to PC you would need a new code but if upgrading to PS4, as of right now, they will allow you to transfer your PS3 code to PS4 for free. Hope this helps.

My brother already have an ff14 account on PC and still subscribe to it. so he pay without playing. that why he want to buy the PS3 to play.

Okay then, in that case he just needs to either get a either a code by purchasing the game on PSN or buying a physical PS3 copy. The code then gets tied to his Square Enix acct and will be visible alongside his access to the PC version when he's on the mogstation site.
