PS3 and PS4 DLC Question

Alright so considering the shortage of Current-Gen Limited editions I have resorted to basically reserving the PS3 Limited Edition with a Standard PS4 game. Pricey yes but still cheaper than the options on eBay. It is a temp fix just to hold onto a Limited Edition in case I don't happen to find a PS4 version randomly listed elsewhere. My question is a little complex so I'll need someone from Bungie specifically to answer considering none of us can really know this for sure yet. By redeeming any DLC at launch for the PS3 version of the game, would that in-turn allow the same content to be available to me on PS4 BEFORE even creating my character? Say I go to gamestop, pick up my Limited Edition, open it and sell back ONLY the disc to GameStop to use as credit toward the PS4 disc. I then go home, install the disc to my PS4 and redeem the PS3 DLC codes. Now, would that DLC be instantly available on both platforms before I even start the game or would I need to access the content trough a PS3 first by creating a character and what not on my PS3 and THEN once my character is created and the content is linked to the account, I can finally access it all on my PS4 end? I'm just trying to do this to cut as much cost as possible considering this lack of supply and impeccably timed announcement have thrown me for a collective loop. To try and summarize my question a little better: If I redeem any DLC at launch that is intended for use on PS3, will I have to initially access it on my PS3 or can I just redeem it as if it were PS4 DLC and even though it came with the PS3 game it will be readily available for my character regardless of platform? P.S. Would definitely like some help here considering some serious money is going into this because me and multiple friends are resorting to this method and we don't wanna get -blam!-ed over after spending $150 for this crappy workaround.

  • Come on, Bungie, we'd like an answer. I too would like to upgrade to PS4 but I will not purchase all of this content again. Can we download our existing DLC's for PS3 to PS4? I know that Dragon Age: Inquisition allows for this upgrade. Do you?

  • FYI. We (family play it) have used ps3 + DLC for months now. new ps4 keeps guardian and weapons etc. DOES NOT ALLOW DLC ACCESS. DLC is not transferrable. Come on bungie! Another $77 for the game on ps4. another $40 for DLC??? thats b..sh.. My first negative with this game. I should have bought another ps3 instead

    • Because Destiny's DLC is activated on the PSN it stays on your PSN not your device allowing you get it from you PSN to your new PS4

      • i spent my money on the dlc for the dark below but it turned out it was for the ps4 so i asked the guy at the front counter if it would still work and he said yes. i try it out and this doesnt work so i just got screwed over 20 bucks for some bullshit. bungie needs to correct this problem before they lose customers over this issue. make this thread know by them

        • I would be cautious in thinking the PS3 DLC will transfer over to the PS4. They did that for a limited time in COD this year but only for certain DLC items. I take it by your question that Bungie has made no announcement on how things are going to work this year. So if I were you, I wouldn't take the chance of owning a PS4 disk and PS3 DLC which might not transfer. You're probably better off just to buy the PS4 DLC when it comes available.

        • if your really that worried about spending money and only care about the game content may i suggest the digital guardian edition its 90 bucks just like a limited edition and comes with all the game content. i know you wont get game disc but you also get pre download on the 7th so no install or anything needed on the 9th just sit at home wait for midnight to stroke and play on

            • I think everyone wants this answer as well. I managed to snag a 360ghost edition, but I don't have a 360. I have an Xbox One but plan on playing this on PS4, so I am hoping to either trade or figure something out. If I can get my hands on a ps4 ghost then I will just cancel my order altogether of the 360 ghost. If it transfers then I may be able to get a ps3 version I dunno. Or hell I may just stick with my PS4 LE and forgo the whole thing. RaR!

            • I'm basically doing this myself with the Xbox 360 ghost edition to the one. I'm planning on trading the game itself in for the one and taking the hit in paying the difference. Like you though I am wondering if codes for extra content will transfer. If you find out let me know guardian!
