"PlayStation 4 Upgrade Campaign Ending Soon"... Another April Fools joke?

[Mugiawara]

It wouldn't even be a funny joke. Could you imagine if a bunch of people rush to get the upgrade thinking it would be over only to find out it was "haha april fools"? People would be upset, even more so if they went out and bought a PS4 sooner than they wanted to.

It's not one. People had plenty of time to upgrade.
As a matter of fact they had so much time that right now, PS4 is cheaper than when it was released and
when the upgrade came to be. Buy it this month, or forever hold your cash.

Does Japan even recognize April Fools Day??

Actually, the email I got about the upgrade says Tuesday, 31st March 2015 ..

It was suppose to end in like Dec 2014 when it was 1st announced.

I work for a Japanese company. Their fiscal year begins in April. On top of that, I also lived in Japan for a year and a half. They don't really do April Fools. It's more of a Western phenomenon. April 1st makes complete sense to end it from a Japanese standpoint.

not a joke

Once I read that they extended the free upgrade, I was happy and got a PS4 and upgraded early January. So far I don't play any other game on my PS4 other than this, but hopefully I will get some good use out of it once something I like finally shows up for PS4.

They should wait until April 1st and say it's extended until August. And then say April Fools on the 2nd. Would be cruel, but hilarious.

I personally got my PS4 in January after they said they would be extending it. The free upgrade was actually one of the primary reasons, but free Destiny and GGXRD were icing on the cake.

And trust me, anyone on PS3, you really want the upgrade, especially if you don't plan to get the PC version. The difference is night and day.

OP

this has to do with people's money, so this is something serious. They would never joke on something like that.

I myself am trying to find the money needed to get a PS4 before that; should it turn out to be a joke I would be extremely pissed cause they would have pushed me to buy something I cannot really afford right now... damn italian electricity bills lol

Maybe they will resume it sometime, or not, but for sure on April 1st it'll be over.
