Which Destiny editions are you getting?

[tooros]

I guess we ought to have some form of development of this thread - like we did with the Ghost's clan thing.
Platform, time online etc.
I can't wait to run raids with a full crew of 6.

GameStop offers a level 20 shader as pre-order bonus of CoD:AW:

[wittyscorpion]

Pre-order / preload on XONE is coming soon: www.polygon.com/2014/8/27/6074927/destiny-pre-load-xbox-one

Update: Microsoft confirms that the listing is accurate in a statement.

"We're thrilled to make Destiny available for pre-order and pre-download for Xbox One owners around the world. This option was available for a short period of time before the official pre-order window opened. We'll have more details to share soon about the pre-order and pre-download window for Destiny."

If this indeed becomes available, I'll preorder Destiny Digital Guardian edition.

[wittyscorpion]

Woohoo! Destiny digital editions are now available for preorder and preload: majornelson.com/2014/08/28/destiny-xbox-one-now-available-pre-order/?linkId=9423566

Pre-purchased the Digital Guardian Edition. I could play as early as 12:01 am on the launch day, earlier than some of you . Too bad I can't play games much during September...

Looks like I'm canceling my amazon order. Now do I get regular or digital guardian edition...

[hebbnh]

Amazon preorder cancelled, Digital Guardian Edition installing now.

[mannon]

All digital for me. This thing will live on my PS4 for the foreseeable future. Who even knows...

[wittyscorpion]

DGE pre-purchased, Destiny game downloaded and installed, pinned to my XONE home.

Now I'll have to just wait until 09/09 before I can say "XBox, go to Destiny"...

...at which point the microwave will turn on and the TV turn off?

[wittyscorpion]

On the PSN front: the preloading will start on 09/07.

[wittyscorpion]

For one week only, buy an XONE at selected retailers and get a game of your choice for free: majornelson.com/2014/09/04/buy-xbox-one-next-week-choose-game-free/?linkId=9500258

IMHO, this is basically an attempt in disguise to ride on Destiny's launch, as all the other games are pale in comparison. In essence, it is MSFT's version of Destiny bundle, which is $50 cheaper than Sony's.

[n1gh7]

Well I finally set up my Xbone, canceled my amazon order, and pre-ordered the digital guardian edition. I can't wait till the 9th.

[wittyscorpion]

This is huge for last gen owners: www.destinythegame.com/digital-upgrade

For a limited time, when you buy last-gen digital Destiny content, get the next-gen digital version for FREE. See FAQs for details.

Great fan service, as well as an excellent way to push last gen sales during launch period. Almost made me reconsider my purchase...

This is also good news for MSFT. There are lots of current X360 owners out there on the fence wondering which next gen console to buy (while the vast majority of PS3 owners are going for PS4 for sure). Say with this news they decided to buy Destiny on X360, if they got hooked on Destiny, most likely they are going to buy XONE, not only for the free game, but more importantly for keep the progress made.

Just a little quote from Jonty Barnes, Bungie's Director of Production, I thought was funny "we want to be Avatar, not Waterworld"

I'm sure they'd rather not be forgotten as easily as Avatar was.

[n1gh7]

Just sitting here waiting for my game to unlock...

Xbone bros, add me: n1gh7

[qupie]

It is already 8 in the morning here, but i made the mistake of pre ordering a hard copy... Lol

Have fun today en thnx for keeping us stoked

[-3055-]

ONE MORE HOUR

SO EXCITED

[mannon]

I made the mistake of preordering a digital copy from Gamestop and now I still have to physically go to the gosh darn golly gee whiz store to get my code... I couldn't make it tonight due to car troubles... so FML.

[ChloeB42 (Alexcalibur42)]

Ouch. That bites.

And hey now I can play

"Version 1.02"
Ooh
EDIT:
Patches, compatibility packs and updates? FINE make me wait Bungie....see what I care

Also can't skip through intro movie...thanks Bungie.

[tooros]

Ltd-Edition due in post from Amazon UK. I'll be pacing around until it's here. Then finding a reason to leave work early enough to get the install, of disk and patches, done in time to play later his evening. GAAAH

[tooros]

It's here!

[daftpunk]

Same here , 2 days off work heh

[wittyscorpion]

Preload kicks ass. Although I am too occupied this month to have much time to play games, I woke up with Destiny ready to go so I managed to squeeze 20 minutes of creating a character and playing though the tutorial mission, just to get my gamertag onto Bungie.net "Legend" section.

[wittyscorpion]

Question for bros who did digital only preorder, especially on XONE: can you check to see if you have gotten your preorder bonus?

I probably won't be able to check myself for the next a few days, so just curious.

[hebbnh]

Yes, everything came through just fine as far as I can tell.
