Yeah this pretty much sours the entire experience. I'd ask for a refund but I reaaaaaaally don't feel like paying for anything on that shithouse of a store. Paypal refund plz.
You can't upgrade until Wednesday.

For reference, Microsoft spent $500 million on marketing alone for the original Kinect.
Fuckery.
Those that pre-ordered the PS3 Digital Guardian Edition can't access some or all of the DLC, or even the game itself. Can't upgrade to PS4 either. If you try to access any piece of Destiny content on PSN it prompts you to purchase it...again.

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood you.That's kind of my point. Regardless of the quality of the title, throwing a stupid amount of money at it ensures sales on mass. Their confidence was not in the game, but their expenditure on it.

The PlayStation®4 digital upgrade will be available to you as close to launch as possible. We anticipate the PlayStation®4 version will be ready for you by Wednesday 9/10 at 6pm PDT, but please check back here for updates. Unfortunately, the PlayStation®4 upgrade will NOT be available for pre-order or pre-load.
How much did Borderlands 2 cost?
So they really spent $500m on one game? Is this Activision trying to snatch back records from Rockstar?
What I'm really interested in is how much of that was spent on marketing.
I hope they didn't spend too much on the lousy Live Action commercial...
$775M just for the Zeppelin song.

I don't care what you guys say about safe AAA concepts, $500m will never not be some Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay ordeal.
Yeah, I just noticed that. That's insane.
And it does seem that most of gaf (including myself) thought $500m was the franchise deal not just this one game.
Would be ridiculous if that's just for the one game, especially considering that both activision and bungie have previously gone on record to say that $500 million was an investment in the franchise for the next 10 years, with Destiny 1's budget closer to $180 million.
