Not 100% sure on the PS4, but on PS3 you can do all that fine, play on your account, upload PS+ saves etc

VAT accounts for some of it, but yes we are again getting hosed on digital pricing.

Well you can account about £7/8 of the increase for Tax, another few quid due to exchange rates. And the rest is unknown.......
Yes you can access, most people create a different address (not strictly in sony terms and conditions)
And you cant access both content from both accounts, it asks for the license as its tied to the territory, so you will have to log in and out

Cheers, I've used it against Destiny Pre Order so only £34.99 - nothing to lose

Someone on Gaf was saying they were playing games from the US store on their Japanese account though on the PS4.

Jesus....
I went into GAME today to get Zelda and check on my PS4 order and they said they have no idea until Wednesday if they're gonna have enough consoles to fulfil the orders. Girl said they didn't get enough XBONES to match their promised amount and are unsure about PS4 until they have the stock in the building.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but here in Ireland Xtravision/HMV refused to sell anyone their pre ordered Xbox Ones last night unless they bought another game or accessory with it..
absolute scumbag tactics, those who refused got refunded and the system will be put up for sale to the general public tomorrow
So be careful anyone that has a PS4 pre ordered in Ireland with either

Woah that's shitty. No laws against that?
I'm not 100% on this but I think it's legal for them to do so unless the customer has paid the pre order off in full. Again though I'm not sure on that.
Lot of people contacting local radio stations trying to get it some publicity
It could be a licensing issue because the UK store wasnt online yet. Investigating now
You'll be shocked to know both of those companies have been a whisker away from going out of business in the last 12 months. I won't be giving them any of my business anyway I doubt, not buying an XOne but that is shocking.
Thanks guys, if I do have to switch accounts it isn't the end of the world.
With that Black Friday deal I might actually try pick up a US PS+ code anyway, $30 is a great deal.
Yup, I used to buy all my games exclusively in HMV back i the good days when all new releases were €45. It's gone to the absolute dogs since Xtravision took them over
Pathetic

They are still locked out, you cannot buy on US and then play on UK, that I can see.
I Bought flower on my US account..... when I try and launch it on my UK account... this:
US>UK account apps seem locked...INCLUDING NETFLIX
so Far
UK>US seem unlocked, altho im currently downloading now, only PsPLUS titles which could be default unlocked...
Only a PS4's master account's games can be played by all other accounts on that system. So you have to make the US account the master account.They are still locked out, you cannot buy on US and then play on UK, that I can see.

Do you have a US or EU console? My friend bought BF4 and killzone from US psn store and both work on his eu account. He have a us ps4 tho.They are still locked out, you cannot buy on US and then play on UK, that I can see.

Maybe thats it, but it doesnt explain why Netflix still cant be played under those licensing things.
My UK Account = Master Account
US = Sub
Atleast Im nearly sure... must double check
Im curious if AMAZON.COM digital codes would work with a UK account. (not amazon.co.uk, no digital codes up yet)
It's worth a try but I highly doubt it. AFAIK those codes are region specific aren't they? Would save hassle if they did work.
For me personally it's no big deal. I don't play online and I don't actively go for trophies, and even if I did I'd just make the US account my main one lol.
Okay....so good news... I deactivated my UK account as my primary PS4
This made all my UK account stuff locked to my US Account.
I logged into US account, activated it as Primary PS4, logged into UK account and my US content is now unlocked, including flower yay!
I wish it was the PS4 hardware that was unlocked. I can basically use my US account as my buying account, and my UK one as the playing account

. Also makes me glad to actually confirm how this all works lol.
Your setup is exactly how I'm going to roll as well
. 1 week to go...I Have a US PS4 atm, getting a UK one next week (altho selling it on for non-profit)
Think the hardware is identical, so shouldnt be regional locked.
Found a work arround... your buying account needs to be activated as PS4 Master account (done through PS4 Menu) But it seems 1 way traffic
US Master account = Both US + UK accounts can play the games you buy on US
UK Account = Only content you buy on UK will play, US Locked
Altho you can deactivate and activate each account as it suits to switch authority if needed.
Another thing to note is how playing games on multiple PS4s works.
You give an account a primary PS4. The account will be able to play games without connecting to the internet from this PS4 and any account on that PS4 can play the games from the primary account.
Any secondary PS4s you play games from that account on will have to connect to the internet to play and only that account can play the games.
Only a maximum of two PS4s (one primary and one secondary) can play the game at the same time.
Primary Account and Master Account are not the same thing.

If we have PS+ with the main account are the others on the system allowed access to online MP?
Nope, only the digital upgrades.
Yes.
It's a ahame they couldn't verify it by the disc like the retail upgrade games.

You need to add something to make it over £20. Search for Logik 3 way plug, used that to get Tearaway for 3quid - if they don't cancel it that is.

Do you know if this affects Remote Play at all? Ie if the primary account is US, can you still remote play from the UK account?Okay....so good news... I deactivated my UK account as my primary PS4

Can you make the US and UK primary accounts at the same time?
Well after telling myself id hold off, and my friends all getting their xbox ones today. (I don't play online with them as they basically use it as a fifa box). Fifa is shit. i can not play it for 2 years, play one of them who play it all the time and still win easily but thats another rant.
I couldnt contain my hype any longer so preordered.
Killzone pack, battlefield and Assasins creed 4.
Won't be here Friday but at least it's guaranteed before christmas.
Can't fricken wait.

Where was this store? I'm curious because we had more than enough stock to cover preorders. In fact every store in the country had 8 free sell consoles for launch night/day.
Not only that but every store has received a much higher allocation of PS4 stock than originally planned, resulting in many "phase 2" customers being bumped up to launch day. She must have been mistaken. We do have a lot of Christmas staff at the moment
The Ghosts trade in offer only works if you bought Ghosts from GAME before the 19th November

If you have a GAME nearby, they're selling 3rd party PS4 games (at least my local GAME does)Well, I have absolutely nothing to play. I preordered Killzone off the same site but they haven't shipped it and won't until Monday. I also preordered Ghosts on another site but I have no idea when they'll ship that. The store is not available yet either
So it seems possible for you to get your hands on BF4, NFS: Rivals, AC etc.

St Austell GAME in cornwall told me yesterday they had plenty of xboxes to go around as they thought they would have more demand. A few minutes later a lady preceded to walk in and buy one with Ryse. When I asked how the ps4 was going he just said " it's going to be insane man" luckily I've paid mine off
