Report: Battlefield 4 DLC purchase fails to upgrade to next-gen
China Rising is the first in a series of planned expansions for Battlefield 4 and was offered as a free pre-order bonus to anyone willing to put down cash early on any version of the game. At the same time, EA (and many other publishers) were involved in a promotion that would allow players to upgrade a game from its PS3 or Xbox 360 iteration to a next-gen counterpart for a small fraction of the game's purchase price.
Though the official Battlefield Twitter account claims that China Rising should be upgraded alongside the game using the aforementioned promotion, a player using the name "buckethead232" has revealed a text chat with an EA customer service representative which directly contradicts that idea. "According to the latest updates, upgraded players have to purchase [China Rising]," the representative told the player, before adding that the only ways to get China Rising on either a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One are to pre-order a next-generation version of the game, spend $15 to buy the DLC piecemeal, or spend $60 for the Battlefield Premium service (which bundles all Battlefield 4 DLC).

A company is more than likely to back up previous marketing statements than a single occurrence of a customer service peon saying the contrary.
Yet this is EA, so sense can be pretty well much be thrown out the window.

I hope this gets fixed extremely quickly, I bet this could make some people really mad!

SurvivalOfTheFittest So, this error is on both, PS4 and xbox one?
I think it's for both. Hopefully they are ALL fixed soon enough. Fingers crossed!
