This may be the first generation ever where you can purchase games for an unreleased system on its predecessor. Sony kickstarted digital PlayStation 4 pre-orders in North America overnight – and you can fulfil the required transactions via your existing PlayStation 3. That’s a pretty novel feature, isn’t it?
Current options include Knack and Warframe – though the latter is a free-to-play game, so we’re not quite sure why that’s been made available so early. Regardless, with the console now less than a month away, it’s pretty exciting to see next generation releases adorning the home screen of the PlayStation Store.
Judging by a Tweet from the PlayStation account, it sounds like the platform holder will be rolling these pre-orders out on a weekly basis through until launch.

Should i download Warframe now so it can be on my list, or will it continue to be free when the ps4 releases???
@odd69 It'll continue to be free as far as I'm aware...
For some reason, I thought Knack was only going to be $39.99. I'm not completely sure if I'll get it for $60 even if it looks like it's going to be a pretty good platformer.
Also, pre-ordering a free game is just silly.
@nathanuc1988 Yes that is bad. I also thought that Knack would be 40 or 50 euros. It would be a must buy in this price but maybe not for 60 euros.
@belmont Yeah completely agreed. I'm guessing this will be one of the first titles we see discounted/free on PS+ within the first few months.
KZ hits PSN its getting ordered hard.
Don't forget in the US we still have that promotion where if you spend $50 you will be getting $10 back.
So that helps to offset Knack's price.
@belmont Just buy US version of Knack, since it will work on your PS4
Knack still seems like it should be a $30 budget game. No disrespect intended to Cerny or Japan Studio, but unfortunately the game just seems pretty poor.
