Right, got fed up of waiting for Sway to get the thread started (and wanted a bit of post glory myself!), so who has BF4 on pre-order for the PS3?

Apparently each copy of the game for the PS3 will come with a code for a digital download on PS4 for £9.99 and all stats will transfer across platforms, so I can't see any reason not to order it on the PS3.

Mine is ordered with Amazon, so hopefully they'll get it to me on release day.

Am really looking forward to breaking out the 40x scope for the sniper rifles - bullet drop, anyone?!!

On a lighter note, really not sure about getting it on ps3.

Digital download for a tenner sounds good, but would China Rising be included?

Is there a better deal going for it straightaway on ps4 - or a decent bundle?

Good point, it's £40 for the PS3 with China Rising and the official guide, but the press release I read doesn't specifically mention granting access to China Rising on the digital download, so I expect it isn't.

I'll more than likely end up buying the premium package for the PS4 anyway so would get China Rising included in that, so no big deal.

Apparently you need the PS+ subscription to play it on line and I currently use a set of wireless official PS3 headphones, so I may need to fork out to replace them too. frown

Just ordered it right now from Amazon.

Trying to decide whether or not to order a PS4 now too or rock up to a shop and see what deals might be available on release..

Not worried about the official guide - even with little bf experience my bf3 one was hardly used.

Ps+ subscription is fine by me if the promised improvements come true - I also need a headset so alls good!

Just trying to figure out the best package. PS3 will be moved to the bedroom to act as a bluray player, and have permission to get a release day 4. Haven't really looked around at the deals.

When's the ps4 out?

PS4 is out end of November (as is BF4), but Sony have told all the retailers that Sony can only promise to deliver the amount of consoles ordered up to 6th August, so any orders after that aren't guaranteed to be honoured on release day.

Could be marketing, but it makes me think it's best to pre-order one now - you can always cancel it before it's sent.

I am tempted but I rather suspect I know what my OH wants to get me for Christmas and she'd be pretty p***ed if I did that!

Big fan of BF3, tempted to get BF4 - not sure whether to get it on Xbox 360 (so I can play with my poor friends who wont buy a next gen console for a while) or get it on PS4 to have the advantage of it being on next gen.

The latter is probably best.

On a Ps4 thread you unlikely to get any of us telling you to stick with the 360! We have a good crowd of us playing Battlefield regularly so can pretty much guarantee some new special PH online friends for you! + we run matches which might sound a bit geeky but I promise particularly the first time you participate you will get quite a buzz.

Youngsyr – that was a low down dirty thing to do to Swaysmile

Have my PS4/BF4 long pre ordered with Amazon, still a bit confused on release date – 29th or 30th November? Have the 29th booked off just in case! Won’t bother with buying it on the PS3, that’s my tactic for getting in Mrs Judges good books, a few months of not really playing should mean I can rack up some good hours in December – I hope. What I am gutted about is I am away for the first weekend in October which I suspect is when the beta will be in full swing.

If I wasn't so damn manly I would be crying right now. What with the kids and planning a house move I don’t see that I can get a PS4 any time in the first half of 2014. So I will be missing all the BF4 Fun to start and then when I can join, I will be a major Noob.

Havent been on BF3 for ages. Although I am pretty psyched for it on the PS4.

I pre-ordered a PS4 just incase, but was half tempted to see if any game packages came up nearer the time. What are you chaps doing?

Just completed a house move which still needs lots of work doing to it and have a kid on the way (due Dec 25th) and I've still pre-ordered. No way I am missing out on this and I'm sure I'll be able to sneak in a few hours here and there, probably at 2am in the morning when I am up looking after the baby so stop being a slacker and get too it! smile

So you will be able to play using your feed while wiping up and sick and changing a nappy with your hands? Good luck with that. hehe

Yep, I will spend the next few weeks perfecting my one handed controller technique! biggrin

On a serious note though my friend at work who had a baby about a year ago said his gaming time actually went up after he had the baby for at least the first 9 months as they couldn't really go out any more and a baby spends 90% of it's time sleeping anyway so I am basing my theory on hard evidence. wink
