    Hey guys! About that 9.99 euro promotion to upgrade a ps3 game for ps4.. my friend has cod ghosts and bf4 for ps3 and both have code.. he will give me codes to use in my ps4 but my question is: the ps3 CD that needs to be in the ps4 to play has to be my friend's CD that came with code? Or can I use any used copy? Thanks!!

    not 100% on this, but i'm fairly sure that once you put in the code, you will be able to download the game onto your PS4, no disc necessary. Anyway, as far as i know, PS3 discs wont run on a PS4, seeing as it isn't backwards compatible.

    Discs are necessary with the way the OP is describing.

    My bad. just did a little research. what you do is:

    1. redeem the code in the PS3 playstation store
    2. go onto your PS4 and go into the PS store. (make sure you're logged into the same PSN account)
    3. go to the 'PS3 to PS4' tab and look for the game that you put the code in for
    4. you should now be able to buy your upgrade for €10
    5. go to 'checkout' and download your game
    6. once game is downloaded, insert your PS3 disc and you should be ready to play

    Hope this helps! ;)

    & to OP you definitely need original copy to play once downloaded

    AC Blag Flag is on sale in Gamestop for 35 for PS3.

    Does this mean you can buy this and then upgrade for €10 more on the store and have it for PS4??:cool:
