PS4 coming out November 15th + PS3 to PS4 Upgrade program

[WARQUEZ]

PlayStation 4 will release on November 29th, 2013 in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and November 15 in the US and Canada. Revealed during Sony's Gamescom 2013 press conference, the $400 next-gen console's date will compete with Microsoft's November release window for Xbox One.

PlayStation 4 has already surpassed 1 million pre-orders worldwide. It will launch in 32 countries.

Comes out on a Friday. Get your paychecks ready ladies.

and introducing the PS3 to PS4 upgrade program

Today at Sony's Gamescom 2013 press conference, Sony announced that gamers that buy Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed IV, Call of Duty: Ghosts, or Watch Dogs on Playstation 3 will be able to buy the Playstation 4 digital version for a "significantly discounted price" once it becomes available, presumably when the PS4 launches on November 15 in North America.

Although not stated explicitly, this program seems to be a direct response to GameStop's promotion that allows gamers to trade in their current-gen versions of games to get them on next-gen for just $10 more.

EA, Activision, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. were named as partners in this program. Presumably more games will be announced as part of this digital upgrade program in the coming weeks.

Ok? So....how does this PS3 to PS4 upgrade work?

Is it just like some bullshit down payment(pre-order) type of deal? If so, all those said companies can get bent.

Details will be released but people are speculating it's either going to come with a unique code for the discount or it'll just allow you to put the PS3 Disc in the PS4 and just buying the PS4 version from the Playstation store. Obviously it's going to be a limited time offer for those who buy the consoles at Launch.

They're trying to match Gamestop's promotion so having to preorder the game is HIGHLY unlikely.

I don't get it why don't I just take it to Gamestop and pay $10 for the Next Gen version

Microsoft are doing the same thing. The Xbox One is £429 ($671.90), £110 more expensive than in the US.
