Pretty sure you can. I bought the PS3 version this morning, redeemed the code through the account manager, and queued it for download. Then switched to my PS4, did the $10 upgrade and finished the download.
Thanks dude! Just what I planned on doing, glad someone on here posted you could do this.

This is the first black friday that had nothing at all for me to buy. I almost always buy a TV but had no place to put a new one.
It's because we have Black Friday all year long on the internet. I've yet to see anything amazing.


I was going to buy the Vita, but then I was like I am never going to use this thing, and it will go in the drawer with the rest of the handhelds.

Pretty much All I bought was two psn cards for 30 bucks.

You can't go online with that hack at all or you'll be banned, so really unless you want to keep updating back and forth to beat the shitty single player campaigns that are out right now I don't see why you would run the risk.

I guess you could do it and if you get banned sell the console for like $1000 on craigslist to some soccer dad.

It is the same for the PS3 and 360 as well. So I don't see you having an actual point.

I bet the hackers even get PS3 games working on it before Sony does.

Only things i ever get on b-friday are TVs and PC parts, but only things that tempted me were SSD's. Maybe i will have something in mind come cyber monday.

The value you lose by jailbreaking seems greater than the value you gain by getting access to free games when you consider that one has only so much time. I can see the appeal to have a second console and jailbreak it to have a "free sample" device though.

I didn't really have a point, just was verbally weighing the risk of such an act. If hackers could make it backwards compatible that would be sweet, but is there any PC emulation of PS3 yet?

That is a debate for the ages but no different than all the other last gen consoles.

The PS3 also has workarounds for PSN that might eventually be coded for PS4 if this continues to work.

It is step 1 in a lengthy battle.

Flashing a firmware takes like a minute or two though.

FYI, I asked about the Astro A50's connecting to PS4. I looked it up and you don't need to connect it to the controller. The mixamp that comes with it plugs into the USB in the front of the PS4 and the headphones connect wirelessly to that. Pretty fucking sweet if you ask me. Has the digital out passthrough so it doesn't disturb your setup at all once they're on.

For those it may concern:

Sony Europe Blog_sl said:
UPDATE 2 (9.22pm GMT, 30th November): Users will be aware that core network stability has returned throughout today and we are beginning the next phase of PSN service roll-out e.g. users will soon be able to progressively see the content info area for game titles. Voucher redemption continues to be controlled in order to cope with volume. We will have an update tomorrow. Thank you for your patience as we manage PSN to restore full service.
I am sitting on their twitter to hear european launch numbers but no luck sofar
