PS3 and PS4 multiplat upgrade deal announced

[Guild McCommunist]

A while ago, Sony announced that they'd offer a deal for PS3 owners transitioning to the PS4 to buy multiplatform titles on both systems for a discounted price. Now that deal, and its details, have been unveiled.

For the four cross platform titles, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4, you may get a PS4 copy with the PS3 version for $10. To do this, the PS3 versions of the game will come with a redemption code. You then insert the PS3 disc into your Playstation 4 (note: this does not mean it's backwards compatible so don't be a shitnerd) and enter the code to receive the PS4 version for only $10.

So if you're a PS3 owner who wants to play the next generation versions of it but also wants to enjoy the current generation versions, here's your chance.

I hope gtav shows up on that list once its announced for next gen.

 

[Gahars]

Now if only upgrading consoles was so cheap...

 

[chavosaur]

So it's the same policy Microsoft is offering for 360-One conversion.
Neat, it's a good deal for both platforms~

 

[tbgtbg]

It may be affordable, but it's not reasonable. You shouldn't have to pay twice for one game in the "you're not buying a game just the license to play it" mentality.

it is perfectly reasonable, you could you know... wait until next gen to get the game.

So if I buy the digital version I can play both versions of the game at the same time if I wanted?
