Re: Bungie - Destiny

Yea...I PO mine thru BB and as of this morning nothing. What's strange is they do have The Witcher Wild Hunt SE up and the game won't be out till next year. I wonder if those who did the PO on the game will somehow get first crack at it? Doubt it but should be the case....

GameStop was waiting until 12AM EST to put the LE and Ghost editions online. As we saw, the PS4 Ghost edition sold out right away.

Best Buy said they were trying to put it all editions as soon as possible, but didn't have an ETA.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I guess I don't understand the appeal for the ghost edition. Is that tiny cube really worth an extra $50?

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I'm giving second thoughts on getting PS4 Digital Guardian Edition. At $89.00 you're getting quite a lot, just not stuff you can actually hold & collect. Plus no driving for a midnight launch, coming back, loading up and getting around to play at 1AM or later. I usually get games, play and trade in which lately have got back a decent amount but I never traded any Gears of War because I kept playing them and I see Destiny being around for a long, long time.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Amazon has more of the ghost editions up for preorder (including PS4)

EDIT: Sold out again

I'm still waiting for Best Buy to list the limited edition. If I can get that for $80 and $10 reward cert, I'll be happy.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Amazon sold out already of the Ghost Editions. Still no word on what's up with BB. They have a topic in the game forum and a lot of people are asking. That digital DL is looking more and more attractive.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Yeah, I've got that conversation pulled up too

I just want to see if I can get a preorder in. If not, it's not a huge deal since I got a back up at Amazon just in case. But if I can save $30, it would be nice.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

For Best Buy, if I pre-order online, do they charge me upfront? Or place a hold on the funds? I got a gamers club unlocked membership with Mario Kart 8 so I want to use them, but I don't know if I need to go into a store to just put a little money down to avoid having them hold the funds for months until these games come out.

It should just show up as a temp CC auth and then fall off after a week or so. You won't be charged until the game ships or you do in store pickup.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I'm glad PSN had an upgrade feature added since you can't cancel a preorder. Just upgraded to the digital Guardian Edition.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Wow, and now Amazon is sold out of the limited edition as well. Me thinks this game is going to be pretty high in demand.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

You can't cancel a preorder on PSN? Dafuq?

Also, at this point it's pretty ridiculous that Best Buy isn't taking preorders.

I use my Best Buy Mastercard for pre-orders and they've never done a temp CC authorization.

EDIT: Amazon has sold out of all Ghost editions AND the LE for the PS4. GameStop has already sold out of the Ghost editions on PS4 and XO. Ghost editions on last-ten and all LEs still stand. Christ Best Buy, get your shit together.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Bestbuy is probably going to put this up while I am at work and it will end up selling out

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I just checked the site and also the forums which the topic has grown quite a bit...still no official word. I've become disappointed with BB on pre-orders and bonus features. I did a pre-order with Assassins Creed Unity but never got the codes for the weekly spin. There were a lot asking when they were getting the codes when Gamespot and Amazon was handing them out with their pre-orders. After three weeks I said screw it, canceled my PO with Best Buy and went thru Amazon who sent the code within 5min. So this is twice within a month that BB has dropped the ball while Gamespot and Amazon got ahead taking care of their customers.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Yeah, this shit over at Best Buy is ridiculous. They posted a couple days ago that they would have them up for preorder, yet everyone is still waiting. I find it hard to believe that NewEgg, Amazon and Gamestop can get their shit together, but Best Buy manages to fuck this up. Is it making them look better from a corp standpoint or something having people on their site constantly refreshing and whatnot? Could they really get anything out of that?

This is the quote from Matt at Best Buy over on their forum:

"You’ll see an authorization charge for the full amount right after your pre-order is placed, however that charge will drop off after your financial institution’s hold time-frame and you won’t be fully charged until either the item ships or the store indicates it’s ready for you to pick up."

Re: Bungie - Destiny

With all these flying off the shelves as soon as they're posted, I'm not sure at this point even if Best Buy can get them and have everyone's the day of launch (or midnight). I'm not jumping right away since I don't want to do the PS4 Digital right now since they charge full amount and frankly with Best Buy I have doubts. I'll do a wait & see but the Digital DL looks to be the safe bet.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Will the digital version be sold through retailers, or can I only order that through the SEN? Also, does the gamers club discount work on digital purchases, or only physical games?

Amazon has the digital download for the guardian edition, but only for the PS3 so far.

I don't believe unlocked works for digital purchases.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I feel like I should pre-order some of the PS4 Ghost editions when BB finally posts them online and sell them at top dollar to the line at midnight.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

read that each beta code grants you 3 download keys (must all be same platform) so you can play with others you know/want who haven't preordered

pretty smart idea

none of my friends have PS4s so I'll likely have 2 extra keys when they are available on the 17th

Re: Bungie - Destiny

All this pre-order talk must make Gamestop feel they've had it right all along!

Well, they're all talking about a limited edition. Does anyone think the regular version will be difficult to find come release day? And even the limited edition might be easier to nab on release day than pre-ordering it is now.
