Re: Bungie - Destiny

I can't believe people are actually bidding on those Ghost editions over on eBay. There are several $200+ auctions that have bids on them. I still think these things will pop back up on Amazon closer to release date. People that cancel last minute and the credit card payments that don't go through.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Reminds me of when the PS3 first came out and seeing them up on EBay for double, triple and quad-triple the price. Heck...for $200-250 they can get the PS4 Destiny Glacier White Bundle...good grief. I just wonder how many of these scumbags even planned on playing it. But if there are suckers out there then it's their own fault.

Same.

I'm going to play the beta on XO, but if I absolutely love the game, I may just cave and get that glacier white PS4 bundle. Fuckers.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

PS4 Limited Edition is up on Best Buy! I preordered it for $79.99 with GCU.

EDIT:
Confirmed by Best Buy officials:
1. Vanguard Armory DLC is a national preorder bonus so will also apply to BB (BB Forum)
2. The $10 RZ coupon also applies to Limited and Ghost Editions.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I canceled my regular edition preorder and ordered the LE. Still no Ghost editions up at Best Buy though. And I still have LE and Ghost PS4 editions preordered over at Amazon. Figured I would keep them for awhile if this thing really does end up being that rare.

And now it's up at Best Buy. I'm now at 4 preorders through two retailers

Just pre-ordered the LE.

Trying to decide if I want to buy a few of the Ghost editions since they're still available...

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Is there a $10 BB GC I missed from some deal?

Also Best Buy's ordering system is annoyingly antiquated. I put in an order for the LE now to get the discount, but I'm planning on moving before the game comes out. I assume, like on Amazon, I can edit the shipping address after the fact. If that's possible, I'd have to call customer service, because there is no option to do it online. I could do store pickup, but my current local store will not be close after I move, and as I don't have a place secured yet, I'm not sure which BB in the new area I'm looking at would be best. Bah.

Got my LE order in. I kept my old order because my son wants a copy as well. I hope the LE and regular game is in their system differently so I will end up with 2 10 dollar gift certificates.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I'm way out of the loop with Destiny. What is it about this game that people are so hyped up for? It does look a lot like Borderlands which I love that game. It looks like a big focus on fighting Aliens?

I remember Bungie stating awhile back they want this story to go on for the whole generation. Will you eventually be able to board or build your own ships and fly to other planets? That would get me really excited If the game is that expansive.

Ordered the LE edition from BB for XB1. I still have my standard edition as well. I may cancel that one.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I was surprised to see that this has a T rating. Thought it would be like the other FPS and carry the M rating. That should help expand the audience as well.

Like an M rating has ever kept the 12 year old pre-pubescent boys away before?

It's not a very bloody game, and the kills aren't gruesome either.

Other than a few specific moments in Halo: Reach when the Spartans are each killed off one by one, all of the Halo games could've (and should've) been given a T rating.

The Halo games look like family entertainment when compared to most modern FPS like Battlefield, Borderlands, Call of Duty, and Wolfenstein.

That's what I'm saying. I don't know how this is getting away with a T rating when all of the Halo games (except Halo Wars) were rated M. Just thought it was a little odd.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I'm sure those who are following the Best Buy Destiny Saga knows that they do have the Limited up for pre-order BUT...no in store pickup when you order online. I had to do a double take because you can do a in store pickup with the Far Cry 4 and Assassins Creed Unity Special Editions...just not Destiny. This pretty much sealed the deal getting the PS4 Digital Guardian. If they cannot promise instore pickup online orders then can they with doing it in store? They dragged their feet for a whole week while Amazon and Gamespot ran ahead taking care of customers.

huh? I had the option for in-store pick up with the LE for Xbox One when I purchased online, which I chose.

you probably can't do in-store because you waited too long and the allotted amount for your local stores have been sold.

I just went in store today to pre-order the LE for a friend and the regular edition for myself. Should I get the LE?
