(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sony has confirmed that if you have purchased certain PS3 titles on disc or digitally then you can get the PS4 digital version of these selected games for a discounted price when you buy the PS3 version. Although if you have purchased the PS3 version on disc then you'll need to keep the disc to be able to play the digital version on PS4.

For a limited time, when gamers buy the disc or digital version of selected games for PlayStation 3 they can download a PlayStation 4 digital copy of the same game from PlayStation Store for a discounted price. Redeem the code packed into the PS3 version of the game on PlayStation Store and download the PS4 version of the game. Then use the original PS3 disc in your PS4 system to activate and start playing. You do not need a PS4 to redeem your code - simply redeem your code, then download your digital copy when your PS4 system arrives.

Supported Games:

- Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag
- Call of Duty: Ghosts
- Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition
- Battlefield 4
- NBA 2K14

Here's a Step by Step Overview:

Disc Only (PS3 version required to play PS4 digital download)

what the point of buying COD Ghosts for PS4 when it says Season Pass includes access to all Season Pass DLC on both the PS3 system and PS4 system if purchased and activated by 5/31/2014. so I could of bought it on PS3 Hardened Edition for $120 and paid $10 and got it for PS4 with all the Maps Packs also? so i'm now spending $180 for these two lol :unsure:

So we still can't get GTA V for the PS4...ehh my PS4 and Ghosts is paid for, so I reckon I can hold onto my PS3 for a little while longer.

Paid for Ghosts on the PS4, it's my first PS4 game. I might get another title at launch if I don't have my copy of Ghosts by then.
(Bought from a mom and pop level [in terms of getting special editions of games] game store, so I have to wait..sadly I like to support local business, so I keep doing my business there.).

So did they say how your saves or MP data will transfer over?

I'm planning to get Ghosts for PS3 while I wait for my PS4 to come in, so I can play. I'd like my MP progress to transfer over.
