Wait, so does this also mean:

1.) Buy game on PS3 for $60.
2.) Get PS4 version for $10.
3.) Sell PS3 copy for $40.
5.) Profit

?


You spend 70 in this example and get 30 back. Where is the profit?

I sell my games to fund new game purchases. Now this way I can to do the same thing, but actually keep the games. The profit is more games.

Basically i'd be getting PS4 games (albeit digital) for $30.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

So if I were to buy CoD Ghosts for PS3 and then later on buy a PS4 I can get CoD Ghosts for PS4 for just $10?


Yes for digital.

 

Buy a copy for PS3 and get the PS4 Digital copy for $10 if you want.

Wow that's actually a pretty good deal.

This is a great plan. I wonder how long this is going to be. I don't know what they mean by "limited time only". Will it only be during the launch of the console period?

I think it's a limited time as in it'll only be available a couple months after a games launch. For instance, I doubt this type of thing will still work if lets say you decide to buy Battlefield 4 on the PS3 5 years from now and you want to upgrade it to the PS4 version.

I mean, what if I wanna buy Battlefield 5 or 6?  Will it apply to future games?  Or just games released at launch.

I doubt we'll see BF5 let alone 6 on PS3.

I was using that as an example nothing more.  There's going to be multiplat games on the PS3/360 for atleast two more years.
