Platform selection for the Beta is now available! Each code will grant you 3 download keys, enough to field a full Fireteam on the console of your choosing!

NICE

Where did you find this? Have a few friends who are on the fence on the game and being able to get them the beta would be an easy sell I think. (Pushing for them to do the Amazon thing, but they can't be bothered)

EDIT: Now I see it in the other screenshots. Interesting. I didn't even notice that before I selected my console. Guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed.

Just a heads up to anyone still waiting to pre-order the Limited/Ghost Editions at U.S. Best Buy, looks like it should be up by tomorrow. I have been following the Best Buy forums almost religiously for updates and the Senior Social Admin has been giving updates for a few days but this is the first time we have got a date.

Cancelled my vanilla pre-order from Gamestop last night and used the credit to buy PSN cards that I then used towards the Digital Guardian Edition. So my beta access is locked in that way.

That said, I just selected my platform for beta codes. I suppose I'll have a few to give away on the 17th.

In first and only time to request an extra beta key maybe be set aside in case my ps4 digital pre-order key somehow doesn't make it's way over.

Let's do this!

Whoop, I'm ready GAF. Is it the 17th yet?
Anyone else getting an error for PS4 EU? :(
Same here. So I decided to use my US account to download the Beta.

Unfortunately, no-one can be told what Destiny is... You have to play it for yourself.

This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back.

You refuse the Beta key; the story ends, you go back to reading impressions and believe... whatever they want you to.
You take the Beta Key; you stay in the Beta thread, and I show how awesome Destiny is.

Remember; all I'm offering is the truth.

You're only showing them the door, it's up to them to walk through it.

So um, I know this has probably asked many times but how long do the beta codes take to come from amazon.ca. I ordered this morning but still no code email.

I literally had my code in my inbox before I was able to close the browser on Amazon and open Gmail.

Opposite here. Was super hype before Alpha but the Alpha turned me off a bit. I spent over 25 hours playing and I still enjoyed a few aspects of it, but I don't think its nearly as good as some say.

but you still spent 25 hours on an alpha with not a whole lot to do. were you turned off or burnt out? ;)
 
Isn't the Beta also going to be made available for people on PS+? I remember them saying that at the Sony E3 conference last month.

This isn't your fault.

Sony made a mistake. You have to pre-order to get into the beta. The good news is everyone is getting 3 codes so if you really don't want to pre-order I am sure someone around here can toss you one.

No, Pre-order only.

I wouldn't worry too much. Either go to amazon or I'm sure they'll be tons of spares given that each person gets 3 download codes.

edit: beaten... yet again.

hm, shitty. I guess I should email their customer service.

Ah, nvm "within 2 business days". guess I wait.

edit:

"I'm sorry to hear that you haven't received the beat code. Our manufacture has replied the beta code for Destiny hasn't started yet. I'm so sorry for the wrong information listed on our website.
We'll correct the information listed on our website soon.
Beta code is due to start this summer for Destiny and notification from Activision will happen closer to the date to get setup.
We'll start sending the beta code from July 17,2014 once we receive it from our manufacture"

Can someone please clarify what...

Each code will grant you 3 download keys, enough to field a full Fireteam on the console of your choosing!

...really means. It that 3 beta codes (so you could give 2 away) or just codes specific to your PSN/Live username ?

I'm confused.

I think you will receive extra keys to giveaway to your friends/gaf on the same platform as you.
 
I just pre-ordered on Amazon to get access to the beta on ps4. How sure is it that I'm going to get the code? I'm in NA (US), I'm asking because I had problems with Amazon to get my pre-order bonus for AC:Unity, which until this day I have not gotten.

You get 3 codes. One for you. Two to give to friends, so they can play the beta with you. They'll probably get excited and enjoy the beta, then buy Destiny in September. Bungie gets more monies.

The code will be emailed to the email account associated with your Amazon acount.

This is getting a bit confusing.
http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/07...ion-now-available-on-which-one-will-you-play/

so as everyone knows, platform selection is now up(honetsly I thought I did this already orginally). I orgINALLY entered my beta code a couple weeks ago. I just now went to the "redeem codes/beta" section of the siIte to select my platform, but instead of giving the option to select my platform or region it is just asking me to enter a code? Am I in the right spot, misunderstanding this or do I have to reneter my code again, if i can find it?

Edit: the bungie beta FAQ, conversely says i need to visit my profile page to select the patform. but my profile page is bassically empty with no options.
Edit 2: dammit they should really make it clearer, I was looking for the code redeem page from the home page, which all I see is an obscure beta image on the front page took me here
http://www.bungie.net/en/User/coderedemption

Selecting my profile as suggested in the FAQ is empty and not the right place. But further on in the FAQ they have this link
http://www.bungie.net/en/User/redeemedcodes

which is correct. Very obscure. since I cant find a link to that page any where from my profile or on the Bungie homepage. oud think theyd make it a litle more user friendly, clearer or accesible.

Any word if beta progress will continue in final game?

last I heard is no.
