Think this deserves a new thread.



Make a Malaysian account and grab it quickly! (sorry for the typo in the title)

Edit: Looks like it's dead now.

Yeah, even if I could be bothered to make an account, I'm not gonna capitalize on a clear mistake.

i have mafia 2 on PC which is apparently getting a free upgrade so not interested but how does cross country buys work on your PS4, do you just login as that extra account and then you can download and play? You won't be able to do any multiplayer (US/EU/etc) though, right? I guess that doesn't matter. Wonder if Mafia 2 DE has all the DLCs built into the base.

and yeah in the past Sony has yoinked these kind of errors out of peoples accounts, i guess if you never put your PS4 back online it would stay but i play multiplayer games pretty much every day

So I sign in to my Malaysian account, download it, and then switch back to my main and play it?

Thank you, got it! Had an E-Mail left that's not bound to a PS4 account so creating another one is pretty easy via browser these days.

Yep, done.

And for those interested all the DLC's for Mafia 3 are free if you already have the game. And you get the definitive edition with a patch I think, not sure there's any upgrade tho.

Nvm I guess it's just the deluxe edition nothing else.

SWEET.

Thanks for the heads up. Missed that Yakuza Best Buy deal but got this.

Took all but 2 minutes to create a dummy account and the game's downloading as we speak.

Added, so how do I get this on my PS4 exactly? Just sign out and sign in under the new account? Download, then log out and back into regular account?

Thanks op. Gonna switch to offline after downloading, so I can at least play it through once before they take it away.

Also how does it work? I made a new user and this game is downloading, so I need to make this account my primary or will it just appear on my primary account?

Can't think of many times, if any where they took back the license for a game released as free. Can go as far back as God of War Ascension on PS3 tbh and I still have that.

I'm really thankful for this cause I would have never bought it cause the PS4 Version is an incredibly bad port, but I will keep an eye on the 1 remake.

There was some rhythm game for PS4 that was revoked after a few days. I have Knack 2 still too, but that's a Sony game. 3rd parties might want their games back.
