From Sony:

At launch, PS4 and PS3 owners will get exclusive access to a unique co-op Strike located on Mars, an exclusive competitive map, and a slew of exclusive guns, gear, and ships. Read on for the full details below.

The Dust Palace Strike:
An exclusive three-player cooperative Strike that can be played with friends or match made. You'll track a Cabal extraction team through the husks of an ancient human skyscraper, the Dust Palace, buried in the shifting dunes of Mars and face a new enemy, the Psion Flayers.

The Exodus Blue Competitive Multiplayer Map:
A mid-sized Crucible arena that pairs perfectly with Control and Skirmish game modes. The Exodus Blue, a long-dead vessel, once brought hope and humanity to worlds beyond Earth. Here, Guardians challenge one another, forging a new hope and future in the fires of the Crucible.

Gear

 · For the Warlock class, Manifold Seeker armor that was built to help Warlocks survive the secret realms of the Vex.
 · For the Titan class, Vanir, a battle-tested armor set forged to protect Titans against the heavy firepower of the Cabal.
 · For the Hunter class, Argus, a durable all-environment wire-weave for those out to scout the frontier.

Weapons

The Monte Carlo, an exotic assault rifle, is a handcrafted showpiece with a sleek look that masks the cruel reality of its function — the efficient elegant delivery of war against any who would tarnish its legacy. Upgrades increase the weapon's "hip fire" effectiveness and boost melee cool down, providing a firm grounding for close range domination.

The Hawkmoon, an exotic hand cannon, is a true gunslinger's weapon — a smooth sidearm that makes every bullet count with intricate "hawk feather" etchings carved into the weapon's silvered barrel. Damage boosts increase the combat effectiveness, making it a formidable weapon.

Ships

"Aurora Wake"
A hull lined with arcane instruments, crafted by a circle of Warlocks - gifting the ship with a preternatural sense for the strange.

"Crypt Hammer"
A deep-strike insertion variant, built to carry Guardians safely through contested space. Carries hardpoints once used to hold Suros TL-SEAD anti-radiation missiles.

"Outrageous Fortune"
A rugged, versatile explorer for those ready to gamble everything in search of ancient secrets and alien power.
