Destiny: Ghost Edition revealed [Collector's]

Will post a picture when I get to my desk for truth.

I simply cannot believe how ripped off we are getting in Ireland.

So I checked the gamestop website to try preorder the collector's edition until I saw the price.

Gamestop are charging €219 plus €2.50 for delivery. How is this even remotely comparable to $150??
 
Any fine American gaffers wanna pre order me a ghost edition?

I'll PayPal the monies and a small fee for your time

We already know dude, poor Euro people, Gamestop is killing you.

As for me as a british Gaffer, I paid £150 for mine, Sighhhhhh......
 
Gamestop, in-store.

There is still a chance to grab one.

USA
- Best Buy has yet to post the SKUs
- GameStops may still be taking pre orders in your area

Canada
- Amazon Canada has yet to post the SKUs (although sometimes they never get them like The Witcher 3 CE)
- Future Shop and Best Buy have all versions still available
- EB Games may still be taking pre orders in your area

Will do my best to post links as they become available like yesterday! They came back in stock on Amazon USA yesterday as well.

Xbox One Limited Edition back in stock on Amazon USA!

God damnit. I set up one of those subscribe notices on amazon for when it's available again and didn't get shit. So it came back into stock and is now out of stock again? FUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Yup yesterday for about an hour or so. Piece of advice. Don't bother subscribing for notices. If you get one it's usually like a day later at best. Those have never been worth a damn.
 
I really think that they're staggering the orders on Amazon

Here in the UK game haven't sold out of the ghost editions not even once.

They also have no PS3 or Xbox 360 copies, which leads me to think they're trying to push hardware sales too....

Hmmmmmmm, I pre ordered mine from a store the other day, just want it to be September now!

I don't believe there is a shortage at all. I think come closer to release (after beta) it will suddenly come back in stock. I bet they are doing this to build hype and create a false sense of demand further driving hype. Time will tell.

Pretty much, I just can't image the Ghost edition being limited in anyway.
 
Seeing what the DLC expansions will cost, I think I'll upgrade my digital version to that Digital Guardian Edition. I'm such a sucker.
 
Has anybody received a beta code after pre-ordering on Monday? Nothing here yet.

From Amazon I should clarify.

I preordered a Limited Edition for both PS4 and XB1 on Monday but haven't gotten a beta code for either. I already have a couple beta codes from previous preorders so don't cry for me Argentina NeoGAF.
 
Yes because lying to customers and forcing them to buy other cheaper editions is always smart business.


You mean forcing them to settle for a cheaper version until they can re-upgrade to the version they think is limited?

No one is "buying" anything yet.


I'd love nothing more than for this thing to actually be limited/rare, but past history tells me to be very pessimistic.
 
Matt on the Bestbuy forums said that they should be up tomorrow:

Hello again everyone,

I just now received another update and it sounds like it will be tomorrow before we’re able to get these listed on BestBuy.com. We’re encountering some issues in getting everything to run through the system properly in order to actually publish to the site.

Should I receive any new information I will be sure to post again.

Sincerely,

Just visited and called Gamestops around me and all are saying it's non reservable so I'm guessing they just cut it off. Best buy u suck, hopefully they get it up tomorrow
 
Looks like you cant buy from bestbuy.ca with a bestbuy.com account, wouldnt accept my login. Its also $15 more (presumably taxes) so I'd rather wait anyway to see if I can get bestbuy.com

57 ghosts left last I checked
 
I finally, finally learned my lesson not to buy the $150 version. That life-sized ghost replica would turn into a glorified $50 paper weight. The limited edition is a no-brainer since the pass is $35 anyway so that's only an extra $5 for the nice steel case and all, but I just can't do these $150-200 versions of games with 'statues', 'replicas', etc anymore. Just dust collectors and more shit to move if I ever sell my crappy house.

But to each his own. At least this one isn't just a hunk of plastic and actually has lights/sounds. Mighta been fun to torment the dog with. :D



I have an extra limited edition for Xbox One (the $99 version) ordered on Amazon.com if they wind up not opening more preorders and someone wants it. I'm sure if I cancel the order it will just disappear as I doubt they would re-open preorders for ONE cancellation.


Not scalping it. If you live in the San Antonio, TX area and can't manage to track one down by launch we can meet in person and you can just pay me RRP for it.

If you're not in the area and want it and can't track one down, just paypal RRP and I can switch the shipping address to yours. GAF as my witness I ain't stiffing anyone on this, just can't see cancelling the preorder and have it disappear into the ether when I might be able to hook a fellow GAFfer up.

As others have said though I'm very pessimistic about this sort of thing and I highly doubt they will wind up being truly "limited" in any shape or form. I'm betting I'll see a Ghost edition or two sitting at my local gamestop well after launch, just as I have for every previous big-name game (Ghosts, Skyrim, Batman, etc etc). So I doubt anyone will need this from me. Just putting it out there just in case.
 
I managed to snag a PS4 ghost on Amazon so I go to cancel my regular edition but it wouldn't let me cancel. I messaged Amazon support and they also had trouble cancelling and said they'll get back to me. Today I get an email saying 'Good news! We have successfully cancelled your Destiny Ghost Edition order'. It's funny actually as I got caught up in the availability hype and pre-ordered it. I was going to cancel anyway. I really don't want it. I absolutely hate steelbooks with a passion and I have no use for a field journal and ghost replica. Anyway waiting for their response and see where this goes.
 
Does Bestbuy charge you for pre-orders, wait until it ships, or put a pending charge on your CC?

Google-fu isn't clear.

110 Euro for Limited and 160 Euro for Ghost in Gamestop Italy, I just checked.

It must be some crazy taxes or something in Ireland?

From the last preorder I had there, I'm pretty sure it's a pending charge, although maybe it just took a long time for them to charge me. Definitely not wait till it ships like Amazon though.
 
The Best Buy mod on their community forums thread for Destiny has just closed the thread temporarily while he provides an update. Could be going up at any moment, from those still interested.
 
Limited editions are up. No sign of ghost though.

Yeah, Limited is up for all platforms. An update on the Ghost Edition will be coming later apparently. Got my order in for Limited, and will cancel if/when the Ghost Edition goes up.

Now I just need to wait for my beta key to be sent...hopefully. The alpha was fun as hell.
 
I think the Limited Edition is the perfect price for a CE and it includes the expansion pass.

However.

I have a thing for little figures and toys. My desk at work has a tiny link a lego mini fig homer some D20's.. I think my Ghost replica will go real well there.

That is what I want it for. LOL. I cannot wait to sit that sucker on my desk at work. :)

this guy gets it!
