PS3 --> PS4 Upgrade?

[Demonjustin]

how bad is your net?? took me 45mins to download in ps4 lmao

1.5 MB according to my ISP, but when watching my download speed it's around 250 KBs. When downloading the update on my PS3 my speed often bounced between .25 MB & .1 MB.

The question is, what do they gain by taking the PS3 copy? Who'd buy a PS3 copy when they have it on PS4?

Hello fellow Gobbie!
While the people that have responded have made very valid points they failed to mention one thing, which is what I will point out.
The thing I would like to point out is that SE eventually plans to phase out PS3 support.

I believe that Yoshida said that ps3 support continues up until 3.0 but beyond that he isn't sure. He did mention that ps3 support will be phased out in favor of the ps4 because the ps4 is, in fact, a better system.

I plan on doing the upgrade either way, I'm just trying to wait till I have something else to play in the meantime at this point due to the fact I won't likely be able to play for days. : /

...Since I just recently got a PS4, I've now noticed that to upgrade my PS3 version of the game to a PS4 version I must give up my ability to play the PS3 version. My question is, why? ...

I have read YoshiP explained for the PS3>PS4 upgrade previously but I can't find the article now.
I remember the reason was about compliance with Japan's law.
Thus if you intent to keep the PS3 version, you can just buy the PS4 version and link to existing account.

From what I understand, the US has some of the worst internet of most 'first world' countries. I can't even get internet from one of our "good" internet providers either due to where I live. So believe it or not, your internet is very likely faster than mine I'd think.

All in all, I think I may have figured out a workaround. I'm hoping I can just make a new SE account, download the trial on that, and use that trial to get the updates done. Then transfer and ignore the download time.
