Hi Bebop242,
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately you did not meet the requirements to participate in the Destiny First Look Alpha.
But, don't worry! The Beta begins on July 17th, 2014, and you can reserve a spot by pre-ordering a copy of Destiny from PlayStation®Store and participating retailers.
We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Bungie, PlayStation and Activision
Oh nice so what do I get for preordering??
to me that reads as PS+ required for full access to all game modes but if it isn't that then awesome more people get to play
Haha, that's fantastic. Glad I didn't preorder to get beta access. Can't imagine people who did are happy about this.
I pre order at gamestop do I don't even get thatI'm happy to preload and play at midnight. That's why I preordered.

interesting, wonder what these requirments were. Maybe you are blacklisted.
Maybe it is EU only.
US Blog needs to announce the Plus plans for this month.
No idea why I would have been blacklisted. Like I said, my friend got the same email too. I was thinking maybe it's because we are not Plus members (both our wife's PSN has the + subscription tied to it) but I figured more people would have gotten the denial if that was the case.
Probably asked a million times but will data carry over from beta to retail?

time to update the thread title.
no
wompwompwompppppp. Then I won't want to use my beta access. I had too much fun with the alpha so I forced myself to stop to not overdo it because I can get burned out. I thought if it carried over I wouldn't feel guilty overplaying the beta lol. Guess not.this is highly unlikely
I feel like if they really are giving Destiny beta access to everyone on PS+ they would probably publicize it more. Though I would imagine there would be a wide-release beta at some point.

Not only are we bringing you a great mix of games but theres also the Destiny beta, which kicks off on 17th July exclusively on PlayStation. If youre a PlayStation Plus member you will be able to fully experience Destiny and its incredible multiplayer. And if youre not? Well, what are you waiting for, sign up now!
So have you pre ordered?Cool, I missed out on the alpha. Now I get to try this, in July. Even though I will suck, being a mouse + keyboard fps player, I cannot for the life of me, aim with a controller.
And lol at people canceling preorders. The only way I would preorder a game is if the exclusive content is worth it. Otherwise I just get the game, usually a week early anyway ( Rockstar has street dates on lockdown, so gta is the only game I usually wait on line for)
Pachter has even mentioned the whole preordering thing.. The games aren't going to sell out. So unless there's some kind of bundle or bonus, it's simply not worth it. Especially if it's a digital purchase. You have to preload the game then wait until the stroke of midnight until you're actually able to launch the game.
The white ps4 bundle with destiny looks like it's worth it.. But I'm sure you guys aren't canceling that preorder (if they are even selling those yet) just because there's going to be a mp beta 3 weeks from now.
Then again, I don't believe half of you. It's like a bad joke already. "Preorder canceled"
I swear that's the comment that I saw the most in the watch dogs thread. People claiming to cancel preorders just a week or two before release.
I for one don't preorder, but then again I get all my games physically, not digitally. I do the same on PC, when available. (Even though steam makes you download the game once you put the disc in)
I've never really been interested in this game (killing aliens with fictional guns not really my thing, especially ones that supposedly don't bleed/game has no gore) but now that I get to try it out, maybe that will change my mind.
Edit: after typing this I'm reading that the beta access is most likely only accessible to those with preorders. Now that's smart. It's a good reason to preorder. You have something exclusive there. My opinions above do not change, though.
would be funny if some people cancelled their pre-orders prior to receiving clarification about this.
