Pre-order Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS3

It’s T-minus six days from the launch of Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS3 November 5th, and we wanted to share a few cool things we’ve been working on as we’re gearing up for the big launch.

Pre-order Call of Duty: Ghosts on PlayStation Store and you’ll be able to start downloading the game any time after 3:00 PM PT on Sunday, November 3rd so you can begin playing as soon as 12:01 AM PST on November 5th. This feature will be available for both the standard game and the Digital Hardened Edition.

Then, after you’ve picked up your game, take advantage of the Double XP event during launch weekend from Friday, November 8th (10:00 AM PT) to Monday, November 11th (10:00 AM PT). You’ll earn twice as much XP on all of your multiplayer accomplishments.

Also, for those of you planning on picking up a PS4, don’t forget you’ll be able to upgrade your PS3 version to the PS4 version for $9.99 — get the full details on that program here.

    Cool glad to see this.

    Strange it’s not more common since the EU has had a bunch of pre load pre orders.

    But at least we get it one time near the end of the ps3’s life…

    I’m very happy for the preload, I asked about it the other day. This type of thing is something id like to see more.

    @ Article: “…you’ll be able to start downloading the game any time after 3:00 PM PT on Sunday, November 3th…”

    How is that read out loud? November Threeth? It should be “3rd”, fyi…

    I won’t be buying this game but I wanted to stop by and say that allowing those who are to buying it to pre-load is amazing.

    I firmly believe that, in order for digital to gain ground on retail, games have to be able to be pre-loaded so that the game can be played immediately upon release. That is, after all, one of the biggest ‘pros’ for digital, or should be at least –the ability to be playing at midnight when others are at the store buying their copy.

    Kudos to all involved in this decision.

    Make sure to continue this with every game going forward.

    I hope we can look forward to pre-loading for more digital pre-orders in the future.

    Can my PS4 come preloaded with COD? :)

  • supermoc10
    October 30, 2013 at 12:33 pm PDT

    Please make this a standard for every PS4 game. Or at least every big releases.

  • Rezolution77
    October 30, 2013 at 12:42 pm PDT

    @aro52

    It maybe due largely to the resale of COD games, whereas, Battlefield players are usually owners (not renters).

    Love them both, but in the end, Battlefield takes the gold.

    Will all games have this from now on please do for Need for speed rivals too :D
    East coast has to wait until 3 am though? We got to play gta v at 9 pm why midnight now :(

  • DOPEBOYMAGIC
    October 30, 2013 at 12:47 pm PDT

    Yeah I think it’s dumb that I’d have to wait until 2 am to begin playing and if people on the east coast have to wait til 3 am. Better off not waiting 2 hours when I can pick my copy up at GameStop and be on about 1230. I can see how people won’t care to wait but I go hard and want my ranking to be as high as possible ASAP. Plus I’m impatient.

    Trusting Sony’s word is like trusting a pathological liar that he or she will do something for you but won’t. When it comes to my confidence and trust with Sony, I have none. Enjoy the game for those sheep oops I mean fans, I don’t care for this franchise or any first person shooter (cancer of video games).

  • Gamerzlimited
    October 30, 2013 at 2:12 pm PDT

    So you let Call of Duty: Ghosts pre-load but not Grand Theft Auto V, Battlefield 4, and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag? What?

    Not that I would pre-order a digital download, but I don’t like how Ghosts gets more treatment than other games.

  • supvic
    October 30, 2013 at 2:37 pm PDT

    @2, 19: Battlefield 4 DID get an early preload, in fact it was actually playable straight away 2 days ago.

  • PharmBoY044

    Finally you guys start the pre-loading functionality. Thank you very much.

    I really hope this becomes a standard practice so you can have the buying experience as user friendly as possible.

    Damn, I still woulda been better off pre ordering it in GameStop, seeing as us Europeans can’t play until 6am GMT :(

    what about double xp weekend for people picking up the ps4 version of the game, it releases the same day as current gen, but obviously it wont be playable until the next weekend, do the ps4 players get their own double xp weekend?

  • Shrewder

    The title pre-load function is greatly appreciated.

  • Ryumoau
    October 30, 2013 at 7:13 pm PDT

    Thanks Sony for letting us download the game early but why does it always have to be midnight pacific time? Why not Eastern?

    Also thanks to Infinity Ward for making the ps4 version of ghosts the best at 1080p and 60fps. I’m glad they didn’t compromise the ps4 version just to make the xbox one look good with its inferior technology.

    @Ryumoaner.

    Can you not ever post without criticizing something?

    I know you are just trolling, but in the small chance you actually are complaining about the time zone, I’m glad it inconveniences you. Keep getting owned lol.

    Love living in CA where we don’t have to put up with east coast BS.

    I think it’s “thirth”.

    @ ryumoron

    ‘Cause the east coast blows…

    @ luvmyR6

    Agreed!

    If I order the PS4 version can I also download the PS3 version?
    If the PS3 upgrades to PS4 the reverse would be nice.

    you guys think thats bad, I have to wait till 6am GMT to play it :/

    October 30, 2013 at 10:33 pm PDT

    @Ryumoaner If I have to rate you as one of my top 10 trolls on the PS Blog, you’re in 5th place. You need to learn not to criticize everything at Sony, which is annoying.

    @supvic Really? Guess I wasn’t aware then.

    @luvmyR6 I agree 2nd.

  • Cinderkin
    October 31, 2013 at 12:30 am PDT

    I honestly feel bad for the people who feel the need to come onto every blog post just to complain. I won’t name any names because you know who you are. It must be a sad life to feel that jaded all the time.

    OT: This is great news to me because for one I pre ordered COD Ghosts and two I hope this will become a future implementation for all Day 1 Digital titles going forward. PS3 and PS4.

    Thank you Sony (and Activision) for finally giving the US the pre load ability.

  • laddie13

    I love the idea of being able to pre-load early, but I still don’t get why it wouldn’t unlock in your respective Timezone as Steam does. For the record, I’m not complaining, just curious! It’s still better than dealing with going to a midnight sale at Gamestop,

  • DjSpotmeister
    October 31, 2013 at 5:32 am PDT

    FILE SIZE is 10.7gb/12.27gb if update is included… ;) there’s a ps3 cod:ghosts torrent up on sites an thats the size for it…

  • DjSpotmeister
    October 31, 2013 at 5:34 am PDT

    btw… it’s playable from MIDNIGHT your own time! i spoke to sony guys a few days ago. once its downloaded its playable from midnight on the 4/5th

    @ 5 tusunami – King in what?….being the most game full of bugs?…or the most overrated game of all time?

    Without special ops now it’ll be quite hard for me to buy another Infinity Ward CoD….anyway I’ll never support a CoD game doing pre-order or something alike..only way to buy CoD is very cheap…..what is the point of supporting their game if they dont have respect for us PS playas?..

  • DarkStar83x

  • jsavvy
    November 3, 2013 at 6:35 am PST

    When I saw you could pre-download and then play at 12:01 AM on Tuesday I was sold to go digital and cancel my Gamestop preorder. After reading more carefully I can not start playing this until 3:01 AM ET on Tuesday. Not sure why it would make me wait until 3:01 AM my time but looks like I am back to the midnight release.
