PS3 to PS4 Upgrade without PS3 Console

I received Ghosts as a Christmas present for my PS3, but, unfortunately, my PS3 crashed a week or so later. I now have a PS4 coming. According to the instructions I will need to redeem my code using the PS3 PSN; is there any way to perform the PS3 to PS4 upgrade WITHOUT the use of a PS3 console?

Any I formation would be greatly appreciated.

From what I understand, the upgrade process is as follows:

Disc-Based Step by Step Overview:
Step 1: Disc Only:
Step 1: Open an account on the PlayStation®Network (or log in to PlayStation®Network using your existing PlayStation®Network ID account).

Step 2: Select the PlayStation®Store icon on the PS3™ system home screen.

Step 3: On PlayStation®Store, select ‘Redeem Codes’ at the bottom of the menu.

Step 4: Enter the voucher code (“Code”) exactly as it appears on the voucher.

Step 5: Once the Code has been entered correctly, select ‘Continue’ on the dialog box.

Step 6: Select ‘Confirm’ to accept the Terms of Service.

Step 7: Select ‘Continue’ to complete Code redemption.

Step 8: The Code redemption is now complete. The Code cannot be used again or associated with a different SEN account. Once you have your PS4™ system, you can proceed with the next step.

Step 2: TO DOWNLOAD PS4™ VERSION OF GAME:
Step 1: On your PS4™ system, register the PS4™ system with the SEN account through which you redeemed the Code.

Step 2: Select the PlayStation®Store icon on the PS4™ system home screen.

Step 3: Search for the name of the game on PlayStation®Store and select ‘Purchase’ to download digital version of the same game to your PS4™ system hard drive. The discounted price will be deducted from your network wallet according to the Terms of Service and User Agreement.

Step 4: Insert the PS3™ game disc into your PS4™ system**.

You said you got Ghosts for PS3 for Christmas,so I presume it's the physical disc copy? If so you will need a PS3 disc version of Ghosts too and put that in PS4 to to play the digital download version of PS4 so dont sell that as you will need it.
 
Thanks for the responses. I'll try this once the PS4 arrives - hopefully tomorrow! And yes, I still have the physical disc.
