2 questions
1. PSN+ is needed to play Destiny 2 beta right?
2. Is the PC beta an open beta or preorder only?

Usually takes two days after preorder. Pre-ordered Wednesday night and got my code this morning.

I pre-ordered the white PS4 Pro Destiny 2 bundle on Monday when the listing was put on their website and about 2 hours ago got a beta code from Amazon.
It'll transition to an open beta, too. There's no indication on the official site that it'll be rolled out differently and the Nvidia promotion also mentions "early beta access" (emphasis mine).
Thanks hoping it comes tomorrow.
If you're really desperate for a key today, you can buy one for around a buck on various key reselling sites.

I ordered from Amazon, waited about twenty minutes and it never came to my e-mail and then had a chat with customer support and they gave me my codes within a minute or two.
And then immediately after I find that you can just get in the beta really easy by going to the Japan store on my Xbox One. lol

Why is that I don't need a code or anything to download the beta?
However, I keep getting 'cannot download' at the start. Asia PSN here.
Edit: It's finally downloading.

redeemed my code on PSN. got another code from amazon instantly and will use that for the PC beta. already linked my bungie account to blizzard. not decided what platform i'll buy it for but preferably PC. will decide once i've played both betas.
and it's not the case for everyone that they need to wait a day or two.

Well seeing as the entire reveal has been on Pro I would say yes.
The question is how good is the Pro support.

not entirely. we have seen standard PS4 footage. going by that IGN footage i hope it's a standard PS4 because it doesn't look too great. if that's PS4 Pro people are gonna be disappointed.

Make sure to log out of your region's PSN account first, or it takes you to your region's PSN.
Edit: If anyone needs help creating a HK account, found a pretty easy tutorial on Youtube that takes only a few minutes:

so i downloaded it but it was only a ~680MB download.
what's the point in this "preload" if i'm just downloading a "client" and will need to download the actual game data when it goes live? or will we be able to download the game closer to the beta starting time?

I dunno why people keep getting confused about this with the small initial download size.. The initial download, the one that is small, allows you to launch the game after that one is is finished, then after that download is done, it downloads the rest of the beta in the background... other games have done this, allowing you to play a demo/small subset of the game while the rest downloads in the background.
Check your downloads, it should be downloading the rest of the beta.

when i launch the game it says it's not live.
nothing is downloading in the background. at least that i can see.

In the notifications for your downloads, when you click on the Destiny 2 beta, does it show one small bar and a long bar next to it? The small one should be fully white as you downloaded the small size of the beta already/able to launch it and the one on the right should be filling up as it's downloading. Not sure why it isn't, at least that's how it went with my beta download.

nope there isn't anything in the downloads. i'll try deleting it and downloading again.

I see. I'm not in either country, but it seems to be working for me as well.
Wait, so the beta code gained from PS4 pre-order will work on PC?

Hit option on the symbol in your XMB and hit information. How big is it? Is it getting bigger?

Well, say like you preorder the PS4 game at Gamestop or Amazon, you'll get a code to input on the Bungie website, and when you go to the code section on the Bungie website after you input it in, all it will say is, "Platform selection for the Destiny 2 Beta is now available! Each code will grant you 1 download key of a platform of your choice." .. So essentially yes, it gives you a option for Xbox / PS4 / PC and you can use multiple codes.
Like when I had 2, it said I had 2 codes available and you can just select any of the platforms from the section, the code you put into the website is pretty much just access to pick the platform you want.
Hope you get it working.

I just got mine by calling Amazon's help desk at 1-206-922-0880. Choose the digital game and download option. The person who took the call hooked me right up

yeah. when you pre order any Destiny 2 version you get a code from amazon to redeem on your bungie account for early access to the beta. Bungie then lets you select which platform you want to play it on.
my first code was when i preordered the PS4 version which you can see i have redeemed but the second one is for PC but i can pick whatever platform i want.

Digital pre-orders are automatically activated on the account you made the purchase with. You still want to pre-load the Beta for instant access when it goes live or whenever you can play it.
I downloaded the 600MB client and just left my PS4 running, I came back a few minutes later and it had automatically started downloading the 12GB for the beta.
