Do you guys think this is true? Honestly, I hope it's true. It's a good way to let people transfer their accounts over, and not worry about all the inactive/unused PSNs.

If you want to play online, you need PS+. To transfer your account from the current PSN to the PSN on PS4, I don't think you *need* PS+, but whats the point of transferring your account if your not gonna play online.

theres no transferring at all, it will be there, don't get yourself confused.

your account has already been created it wont transfer to ps4, ok Happy. you just login as normal.

how can you get confused, there is no transfering of your accounts, it is already there. what dont you get lol? when you get a ps4 you just use existing account and your done. the user is saying that you have to have ps+ to 'transfer' your account, no you dont. ps+ is used for multiplayer/online side of games.

no reason to get confused atall really.

That's the part that confused me. It wouldnt have confused me if you said "PS3 accounts are basically ready to be signed onto the PS4 with everything except your digital Downloaded games."
