[Change is Good]

I'm confused slightly. So they allowed you to buy the game on your PSN account, install it to your PS3, then install it to your nephew's PS3 and it could be played on his while you weren't signed into it? I thought you had to be signed into the PSN account that bought a game to play it, similar to how Microsoft handles it.

Yes, that is how. I bought it, and my account was on both PS3s. Downloaded it on both, and he was able play it with his account. He played all my digital downloads, and if it had multiplayer, we could play together.

As I mentioned, digital sharing is allowed between accounts on an activated ps3, but only up to 2-3 devices.

And.... this isn't Microsoft

Edit: He is currently benefiting from all my PS+ freebies on the PS3. It is the main reason why I gave it to him.

I'm skeptical that there's absolutely no restrictions in place to prevent people from playing both the PS3 and PS4 game at the same time. If it were me I would make the PS3>PS4 a one-way road. You mail me the 3 disc, I mail you a 4 disc. Or you provide the digital information for the 3 version and I provide you with a DL key for the 4 version and then deactivate the 3 version forever. If they do allow people to buy 1 game and effectively get 2 then that sounds like a first in the gaming world.

Don't forget that many PS3/4/Vita games have "crossbuy" where you can buy it once and have access to all three version.  As far as I'm concerned this is basically the same thing except it only works with buying the PS3 version first.

If you purchase a DIGITAL copy of Destiny for PS3 or 360, you will automatically get it for PS4 or Xbone (respectively) for free!

Because people sell physical copies and it's impossible to track when the upgrade has already been used... without one-time codes.  I assume this deal cropped up after they'd already started manufacturing the games so they couldn't do the codes retroactively.

Well I took the plunge and preordered on the PS3. There's no way they're going to NOT give us the PS4 version at this point, the only question is whether we'll get it right on 9/9 or not.

Worse comes to worst, I'll start my guy on PS3 for a few hours (how much am I really going to play at midnight on a work night?) and then hopefully have the PS4 version download while I'm at work to play when I get home.

He said he put me on the interest list which as he explains just sends me an email if they reopen or get excess cancels but he actually got just 1 from his warehouse sent to his store and called me to let me know hed save it for me ( i went in about once a week to see if anyone canceled if anymore became available etc...)

They did it for ghosts, assasins creed, and battlefield etc... And it was a huge success i know where youre coming from as far as returning it but many times retailers wont accept open games and gamestop yes you can trade it in but for a miniscule amount

Here's a question folks. Is the GameStop "limited edition" Sparrow worth $10. I can save $10 on the Digital Guardian edition right now through Target's promo and have it pre-loaded.

IMO, I'd rather save $10.  Retailer-exclusive bonuses are, by nature, not really all that great (otherwise fans would be really annoyed).

I was talking more about selling it on CL.  I buy a PS3 copy, get the PS4 copy for free, give the PS3 copy to Axel and he gets the PS4 copy for free, etc.  It doesn't make sense.

They're letting you download pre-orders online already for the One.

Bought and pre-loaded on PS4.



Having played the Beta on both the PS3 and PS4... man, even for a PS3 game, the game looks like a blurry mess. It's as if 3D mode was on without actual 3D, the resolution is so low and soft. Bungie definitely didn't spend much time tweaking the PS3 version, though the core gameplay experience is fully intact.

It's also for a physical copy i love having an actual product in my hand.
