The first thing that comes to mind is probably, "and what about getting credit for PlayStation 3 versions of games to put towards the PlayStation 4 versions of games?" Me too. But I'm going to guess that they probably have a huge exclusive deal with Microsoft on this one. I would like to be pleasantly surprised so perhaps we'll see a similar offer for PlayStation owners soon enough.
Regardless, the news is that you will be able to trade in a few upcoming Xbox 360 games for $50 of credit to put towards the Xbox One versions of those games. This offer is only for the Xbox line of games and only for PowerUp Rewards members.
No, seriously. Why are PlayStation owners getting the shaft there?
