Really excited for this (thanks to Toba). I will be going with the Hunter.

Is there a word on the download size of the beta file?.

It was 12GB on the X1, i imagine a similar size on the PS4 and other consoles.

Ah thanks for the info. I really wish there was a preload for this.

Sooooo beta preload is only for those going digital?
I could really use the preload. 13gigs prolly take me close to 10 hours to dld.

 

[MMaRsu]

I am digital preorder why no preload for me hm?

[Kyoufu]

[Trey]

You bought it on the US PlayStation Store i presume ?

 

[bigDave]

EU psn, i'm from Italy.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I really hope they let us EU related peeps download the beta early. Internet can be slow down here in Australia at times >.>

The one i linked above on reddit is from Australia.

 

[Korben]

Yeah i know, but i thought EU countries have to wait 7/17th for downloading the beta.

I'm very tempted to order it on US PSS (Digital Guardian Edition), but i want my physical LE...

 

[bigDave]

you can always dismiss digital preorder

I don't have a digital pre-order though, Bungie website says I have to wait until next weekend to get my Beta download key

 

[Korben]

Not with US PlayStation Store. And if i go digital, it's where i'm gonna buy it.

 

[bigDave]

i thought you were on EU one.

 

[toastyToast]

The blog post says I should select PS4 Global. I don't see a PS4 Global

 

[Korben]

i thought you were on EU one.

Yeah, but since i'm done getting fuck in the ass by EU PlayStation Store prices, i created an US account recently.

I tried it with Steamworld Dig and it worked perfectly (playable on my US and EU account).

 

[Tekku]

Same here. I'm from EU. I don't know how bigDave got around that.

 

[SnakeEyes]

The blog post says I should select PS4 Global. I don't see a PS4 Global

No, Xbox selection is Global. PS4s is either Americas or Europe.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

I believe they said in the blog post they changed it so the PS4 beta now says either Americas or Global.

 

[njd_online]

Digital preorder?

Yup, with auto download. No photoshopping here!

 

[Surface of Me]

Is there still 360 codes at Amazon if I preorder now?

 

[harrypmgaga]

I believe they said in the blog post they changed it so the PS4 beta now says either Americas or Global.

Doesn't change the fact that Global keys are still technically "European" keys.

 

[MMaRsu]

Where do you select auto download?

 

[ComputerMKII]

have you guys selected auto-download of Beta in the store?

i'm currently downloading it

How do I select auto-download?

Nevermind, I've found the Download button. Downloading now!

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Anyone else listening to the old Halo soundtracks and getting pumped? So HYPED.

Might end up picking up Halo 1 and 2 since I have an original Xbox just sitting around. I tried using Borderlands to fill the void where Destiny should be, but it didn't last long.

 

[Kyoufu]

So the Beta pre-load is EU PSN only atm? SCEA pls.

 

[Korben]

You bought it on EU PlayStation Store ?

You on EU PSN as well?

 

[ComputerMKII]

Yes. The funny thing is that the EU store doesn't charge you until release day (and you can cancel your pre-order at any time) so you basically get a free beta code.

 

[Korben]

Yes. The funny thing is that the EU store doesn't charge you until release day so you basically get a free beta code.

Ok, so basically, pre-order it on EU store, preload the beta, cancel pre-order.

Let's do this.

 

[Krayzie]

Hmmm maybe it was a mistake on their end. Hope you manage to dld the whole thing in case its taken down. Yer lucky bugger

What thee... where is dis button

 

[Fehyd]

Heh SCEA being inept on digital releases as usual. Wouldn't be surprised if the preload working just a few hours before beta servers are up lol.

 

[Korben]

Oh yeah baby !

 

[Dipz]

So this button is not available in 'Murica?

I preordered digitally

 

[Brohan]

So anyone else still have problems choosing a platform? I choose PS4 Europe and then it says it can't be done right now and to just try again on the 17th.

Is this normal?

 

[bigDave]

i hate your connections... mine is too slow

 

[Flyinmunky]

Hi guys two questions....

Is the Digital Guardian Edition up for pre-order on UK psn store yet?
Whats the cost on PSN for it?

I may go digital for this and TLOU.

 

[ScRYeD]

If you have preordered from the psn store and you have already got the Beta in your notifications/downloads section ready to go and its not downloading. Delete it, go into your downloads section in the psn store and reselect Destiny Beta.

 

[Korben]

By the way, thanks a lot bigDave and ComputerMKII, now i'm ready to hunt.

ps: And i'll have 3 download codes to give in the Destiny Beta Code Giveaway/Begging Thread.

 

[Raxious]

Soo, here's the thing. Preordering it from PSN, download the Beta and then cancel your preorder sounds great, however this is in the ToS:

when you cancel a pre-order you will no longer be entitled to any promotional services and/or products offered with the pre-order but if you subsequently access the service and/or product we will still charge you at full pre-order price; and
(v) you will not use your pre-ordered product until the release date, even if you are able to download it earlier.
When you place a pre-order, ‘Automatic Funding’ for your SEN wallet will be automatically turned "On" if you have registered a payment method (e.g. a credit or debit card). You can switch Automatic Funding "Off" at any time via your SEN account management page.

So technically they can still make you pay for playing the Beta.

If you have preordered from the psn store and you have already got the Beta in your notifications/downloads section ready to go and its not downloading. Delete it, go into your downloads section in the psn store and reselect Destiny Beta.

i pre ordered and i have nothing on the notification/download section.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Preloaded 12 gigs in 30 mins, not bad.
