PS4 query

Apologies for not putting this in an existing thread.

I'm upgrading to a PS4 pro. For the games and Tv shows Ive downloaded on my PS4 - Can I get them on my pro for free or will I have to transfer them over using a USB or portable drive?

Also i'm giving my old PS4 to my son. Should I wipe it or keep as is so that he can use the content? Is that possible or will he lose it all when he creates a new PSN account?

Denster, this official system transfer guide is a good starting point.

The data will remain on the older system (unless you chose to wipe it). However, content will only be usable if you leave your ID and logon details on that system as well; your new Pro should be activated as the primary system (as per the guide) and the older console would be a secondary machine. You wouldn't be able to logon at the same time on both machines using your ID but I *think* your son could create a new ID on the older console and still access the games that are on it.
