Will there be a preload on Xbox?

Yeah you can already download the beta. It's 12gb or so. You just can't get past the splash screen because the servers aren't online.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Got it through the HK store after not getting my code from Amazon today.

Side question: do items from the HK store download faster for anyone else? For example, It only took 10 minutes to download the beta. The same amount of data usually takes 6x that long to transfer on the US store for me.

Haha, no idea man. Never used it. 10 minutes is pretty damn fast though.

 

[cakely]

Someone in this thread had good luck talking to Amazon chat and getting a code from them.

Great advice! I just did this for Amazon US. I ordered a few hours ago, and I'm downloading the Destiny 2 beta now.

I pre-ordered digitally on Xbox. Where can I find the beta to download?

 

[*Splinter]

If I preorder on PSN is it possible to cancel after the beta?

 

[mhayze]

don't look for the Demo in the store, just redeem the code as-is.

I did - how do I now get the beta installed on PS4?
[Edit] Never mind, I figured it out - you have to use the "Redeem a code" option on the PlayStation Web site (or presumably also from the PS4 directly) - I thought that was a Bungie code, not a Sony code.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

No.

 

[Jaguar King]

man I preorderd from Amazon since day 1 and I still haven't received my code.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

If I preorder on PSN is it possible to cancel after the beta?

Nope. Sales are final. Just pre-order from Amazon or Gamestop if you really want to cancel.

Search "Destiny 2 Beta" on the Xbox Store, on your console. It's there. I just started downloading it (U.K here).

 

[RageOfFury]

The Hong Kong account "trick" worked. Downloading now!

Thanks =)

 

[Orayn]

Just checking, but doing an Amazon preorder and redeeming on PS4 won't lock me out of doing the beta on PC next month, right? Since I'll be getting another code if I preorder that version?

 

[RoKKeR]

Anybody need an extra XB1 code? Realized I won't be able to play during the beta dates. NA.

 

[DR2K]

So the Asian version starts tomorrow with the preorders?

 

[xray49er]

I'll take it if you can spare it Thanks

Or get it free on Hong Kong PSN.

 

[Frillen]

I need a Europe PS4 code, thanks!

 

[ethomaz]

Beta has a patch already lol

1.02

I need to play... sad I will be only ready tomorrow night

Oh man thank God I still have my Japanese account, currently downloading it from there and I do sort of feel like the store loads faster than the US one and the download is faster as well. Could just be a coincidence though.

 

[ethomaz]

Ohhhhh there will be an OT for Beta???

 

[Calvinpewpewpew]

If anyone has a US code to pay forward, I will send MY code to someone who asks whenever Amazon deigns to send it to me. Can't believe they are this slow

 

[Nyteshade517]

Ohhhhh there will be an OT for Beta???

it'll be the same as an OT but it just won't be labeled as an OT AFAIK

 

[Pops Maellard]

Got my Amazon code immediately after preordering like 2 minutes ago FWIW.

 

[urge26]

pretty simple if you want an additional code, preorder from Amazon, preload your beta with the code that comes 2 seconds after, cancel your preorder.

 

[everyer]

Gonna make a HK account. Is there a limit or penalty to how many time you can change which region is your primary account?

It's not change, you can log several accounts as primary account on your console, there is no amount limitation

 

[everyer]

Im ready...My body is ready, GET HYPE, SON!

Can't wait for it all. Can't wait for the buttery smooth gameplay, a solid strike, and few awesome tricks.

Then I can't wait for everybody to get back on line and start beetching about it. How its 1.5...and yada yada. How "Bungo" is full of sheet...and how bad the weapons balancing is (its a beta). I can't wait for the incessant back and forth all week arguing about something that is supposed to be a test to iron all this out BEFORE launch, hence beta.

Can't wait for the preorders cancelled, and the massive moaning...

But everyone will be back...everyone will be there day 1, where we will love/hate Destiny all over again.

Give it to me Destiny 2! I had my forray with the Japanese games in the beginning of this year, and don't give me wrong, I loved it. Neir, Persona 5, Nioh, Zelda...all awesome, but bring me home baby. PEW PEW PEW!

I feel it.

 

[Sarcasm]

I don't think primary is the concern as it never gave me that option during setup as the console was already my primary.

Dunno how it works.

Thanks, I had to use this to start preload after digital preorder on X1.

 

[ethomaz]

Well I remember having an OT thread for the first Beta... but a main thread is enough

 

[darkwing]

so 12AM is the time?

 

[N° 2048]

I think tomorrow 1PM EST is the time.

 

[everyer]

Dunno how it works.

Sorry for my mistake of the description: it should be ...set this console as the primary console for this account.

One console could hold several accounts, but one account can only set one primary console at the same time.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I think they made a rule after that one happened saying that Betas don't get the OT label

maybe I'm thinking of something else so don't know

Ah I never did that my US account was still primary.

 

[everyday math]

twilightgap is making the beta OT.

 

[NowhereFaded]

twilightgap is making the beta OT.

When does the beta ot go live!?

 

[MrPressStart]

I guess the only way to get a beta key for PS4 is to pre order it huh? Is there a code begging thread yet?

Order via amazon, wait for key, cancell.

Or Hong Kong PSN account

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Pre-ordered it on amazon just get the beta code. Got it pre-loaded and everything, will cancel the pre-order after beta is over.

We got any groups going to test it out?

 

[Goose_Se7en]

[Alchemist]

Is there going to be a social space or patrol area in the beta?

 

[Jblanks]

Is there going to be a social space or patrol area in the beta?

No, just an hour of the social space (Farm) on Sunday.
