Pic shows not pre-ordered it's totally free so please read on before judging. Anyone who wants to play the beta but hasn't actually pre-ordered the new call of duty should be happy about this, all you need to do is create a Hong Kong PSN account and yes English is an optional language on the account too.
It's so easy to do that even your kid who is off school could help you do it, kids are smart these days... So if you run into difficulties doing it then just YouTube how to create a Hong Kong PSN account.
Once that's done go to the store and find the CoD WWII page, (if you fail at this step use the search page and type WWI, press X on the 1st one, it says wwii pre-order once on it press down twice and you'll see it) now press on the beta then press on download, and hey presto... If you can't follow these instructions find an adult and make sure you're old enough/allowed to play CoD, or optionally if you are an adult just ask your tech savvy child he'll probably have no problems whatsoever.
The file is 16.2GB pending any updates
Happy CoD-ing all.

It's not the China store pal its Hong Kong one, just incase you or anyone else created a China one.

Just to show you all these are my only purchases on my HK PSN you can clearly see I'm downloading the new beta, I've also purchased and played the last 2 CoD beta's for free on there... If you create this Hong Kong account it's likely you'll never have to pre-order a CoD game ever again just to get the beta.

I have atm a US acct and UK acct, but the only thing that still confuses me is if I make a HK acct, do I make this the Primary acct ??
then do the other acct still work ok and can they still be shared by other users on the console( i.e kids have separate accts on the system)

You seem to be confused on what setting it as primary does. You can have as many accounts as you want set as a primary on the same PS4. You're not limited to one primary account per PS4. Primary accounts just let you use the content from that account, on other accounts on the PS4. If you only have one PS4 in your household, there is no reason not to set every account as a primary.

Yes mate make it primary and you'll still be able to use the beta on all your other accounts too, plus you'll get whatever bonuses you're meant to get for playing it on those accounts I imagine.

Do you need PS+ to play the beta?

I can't find this at all. I search for Call of Duty, WW1, WW2, World War... no joy with any of them.

It's WW then a capital i mate should've been clearer, just re-type with a capital I instead of 1, then press X on the one that says pre-order, now press down on the dpad and you should see it, press X then download it and enjoy.

cheers ThatsBobbinsThat, just created a HK account and the beta is downloading.
Please note that the beta is not on the china PSN but Hong Kong's PSN.
Still think you'll need the account on your PS4 as I didn't get no codes, I just downloaded it straight off the store.
Not totally sure about China accounts people so stick with creating Hong Kong ones as games are massively restricted in China, the reason it probs says China / Hong Kong is cos it's a sovereign state of China's but they have their own rules with little to no interference from China itself.
Hong Hong is a special administrative region and classed as pretty much its own place

johnthehuman: It's listed as "Try Free Demo" but it works :grin: Yep it shows as a demo for me too in this pic but so did the last cod beta I played too so wouldn't worry, if you're wondering why it doesn't say purchased on black ops 3 beta dunno it must be a bug... you only have to look at my 1st comment with a pic and it shows as purchased along with the downloading wwii.

Daft question maybe, but based on previous experience, will this connect you to the Asian servers for the multiplayer, with a ridiculously high ping?

I am sure there is some politically incorrect joke in there somewhere.

24 Aug 17#20
When I got it, I lol'ed.
Sounds good mate, was just wondering how it worked. I suppose once you've got it downloaded from the HK store, back on your UK account it just sees you as normal, connecting from the UK.
ThatsBobbinsThat to johnthehuman
24 Aug 17#19
Shouldn't do mate I doubt it I think a lot of peeps by on the Hong Kong and Indonesia stores to get cheaper deals, and in the last couple beta's I played never had issues tbh... Plus a friend of mine with a 2.0 kd every CoD since MW2 purchased his last 2 CoDs in one of the Asia stores and I've never seen him have issues, think it just connects to your local server based on your internet's location but I'm not great with all that tbh.

Does this also work for xboxone
ThatsBobbinsThat to JCLARSSON
24 Aug 17#22
It probably will do mate but I've not had an Xbox since the early 360 days but I'd try it out if I was you, think the beta comes out next week for xboxone users though, you should defo give it a go cos not sure they're allowed to include beta's in pre-order in HK unless it's just CoD games, just a note though I'm told this beta didn't come on till between 4am and 8am this morning for Hong Kong accounts, we could download the beta in UK yesterday but I had to wait till this morning so it might be the same for you next week... Don't worry if your mates are downloading the day before, just wait till the next morning before worrying.

The PS+ is a lot cheaper in HK too. It is normally 268 HKD (about £27) for a year and quite often they do special promotions such as buy 12 month get 3 extra months free. Their PS+ games are mostly the same as the UK one and usually have English version as well, but sometimes they also offer Japanese games that are rare to see in the UK / US store.

I just this minute created account, beta doesn't show when searching? Has it been taken off?
Edit: that's weird it won't show any results in search but it's definitely there under 'Hot' section.

Search for the game and it will say 'try demo' under the pre order button

What details have peeps used to sign up when creating an address on the PSN Store for HK?
johnthehuman to steveoj28
25 Aug 17#50
There's no need for a post code it seems, so just make it up, completely. I filled every line of the address with "Hong Kong" :grin:
Game seems pretty solid. Not played a COD for years (since MW2) but this feels pretty good.

25 Aug 17#51
Not sure if Im doing this right... But this is the error I'm getting.
50huz to steveoj28
25 Aug 17#52
Probably easier doing it on the PS4 itself, as it doesn't request info such as street names or postcodes. Unless if you use a generic address in hong kong using google perhaps

Got a "new" account created and downloading now. Can I remove the "new" user from my ps4 and will I lose the game if I do?
Am I better waiting until the beta is finished - how long is it on for?
