    One thing I noticed that I think changed is that it is a COPY not a TRANSFER. I remember way back when, I thought it was a transfer. I read this correct...right? Your characters will exist on both worlds but not share progress?

    already paid. Cant wait to play on the superior version. Lets face it, the console ones will run better all around. I am a hard core PC fanboy (obvious reasons), but eso just seems like it will be far superior lag wise, and feel wise on consoles, NOT graphic wise. Call it a sneaking suspicion.

    It was clarified to be a copy (with separate progress on each) since the announcement of Tamriel Unlimited.

    And the worlds are still going to be separate right?

    Maybe, it would be interesting to see if you could play both versions after you get the console. I don't see any reason why not. But, the character save files are forked at that point, so what you do on one will not be available on the other. Kind of like how what you on the PTS copy of your character has no effect on the Live server copy.

    However from a back office standpoint, a copy is much safer than a transfer. If the transfer gets screwed up, then the source file may not be there anymore. A copy can be be re-done if needed.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    The fact that it is timed kinda leaves me no choice but to buy it even though I don't have a PS4 yet. If I end up getting the console I wanna play with my friends without losing all my stuff, but if I don't, well that's $20 bucks down the drain.

    You also need xbox gold live or Sony Plus. This is some extra cash per month. Is there a version without this requirement? I would buy PS4 just for this game, but I will not pay monthly sub for Sony Plus... This is the main deterrent now for me...

    Scroll down in the store page, there was a list of stuff to buy, at the bottom were the console versions for Playstation and Xbox.

    Thanks! All I have are the PC/Mac Digital downloads, then the crown packs/ESO membership. I'll contact support now that I know for sure I'm missing the links. :)

    Jumped right on it. Will enjoy playing on the PS4 I hope. As much as I am a PC only for mostly everything outside of sports, I have come to the conclusion that this MMO was always meant for console play. Let's hope for a stellar launch.

    Glad this was posted. I haven't received an email and I've checked spam filters, etc. But when I do visit the Store I have an option to select either the PS4 or XBox copy for $20. Maybe it will take some time for all of us to receive the email.

    Update @ 9:15 PDT - Just received my email.

    dam, people are going to take the risk!

    I can cope without my toon from the PC version, I will wait and see what the reviews say, once bitten and all that.

    But if it turns out that PVP mass warfare works on the Console I may buy one just for that.

    got the mail, but with the total lack of information about the console version its really hard to know if I want to transfer, and since its a 30 day offer.. I sure hope we get some new info regarding the console versions, how things will work, improved ui, future addon support, will the integrate features from certain addons etc, since the stock ui sucks, and as far as I know we dont have any of that info yet, just "more info closer to launch".

    You can play both versions after the copy happens, but from that point forward your characters will progress separately :) I've asked.. I'm snatching up PS4 copy just in case, but sticking on PC.

    You do need to have gold live or PS+:

    Will I need to be an Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus member in order to play the console versions?
    Updated 03/17/2015 11:11 AM Published 01/20/2015 08:36 PM

    Yes. As with any standard multiplayer game on these platforms, an internet connection and an Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus membership will be required to play

    You don't need PS+ for ESO.

    Unfortunately you do need them:
