The latest deals in the 12 Deals of Christmas promotion on the PSN have gone up and there’s an interesting one there. Battlefield 4 is discounted to £24.99 on PS3. That’s a pretty good deal for a game that’s not been out too long. It was subject of some bugs that arose after release but developers DICE have committed to fixing those before they do anything else.
So here’s something even more interesting: The £9.99 digital upgrade to the PS4 version still works. So you could buy the PS3 version for £24.99 and then buy the PS4 upgrade for £9.99 and get yourself a bargain next gen version of the game.
Oh, and there’s also another little tick you might fancy to get the price even lower. The Sun (sorry for bringing up such a despicable rag’s name in polite company) is trying to get people to sign up to its Sun+ paywall online stuff by offering a free £10 PSN voucher to anyone who pays their £1 sign up fee (you can cancel before you’re charged again). HotUK Deals have got the scoop on that one.
So, if you don’t mind getting a bit grubby, you could sign up to the Sun’s thing, claim your PSN voucher and use it to upgrade your £24.99 digital copy of Battlefield 4 to the PlayStation 4 version. Next-gen Battlefield 4 for £25.99.
The other deal in part 7 of the 12 Deals of Christmas is the rather excellent The Walking Dead on PlayStation Vita for just £6.99. Fill your boots.
Update: Apparently the Sun’s offer has expired now, which is a shame but it gives me one more reason to hate them. As if another one were needed. Sorry for getting your hopes up. Still, PS4 BF4 for £34.98 is still as cheap as you’re likely to find it for a little while.
Thanks, Kelly (via email)

Extra bonus for BF4 (for those upgrading to the PS4 version), you won’t need to put the disc in if you want to remote play it.

Battlefield can bugger off, holds no interest for me.
Walking Dead however, that has me excited.
i might have to buy that.
so long as it is the Telltale Games one and not that shitty FPS.

I bought the last 2 Vita games; Velocity Ultra yesterday and The Walking Dead today. Should be enough to keep me going until after Christmas

Just another thing as well that i thought worth mentioning, if you purchase a pan voucher from cdkeys.com for example then you can get £35 of credit (enough to buy bf4 and the ps4 version upgrade cost as well) and only pay £30.99 or £29.44 if u like them on Facebook. Saves a fiver so may be worth doing :)

can confirm this works, just bought the ps3 version of bf4 via the web store, then was instantly able to purchase the cheap upgrade to ps4 and start it downloading remotely.
