My LE preorder at Best Buy is still active. I suppose I'm not getting the $50 off
I did request a store pick-up rather than a shipped copy. After getting mailed a dinged-to-Hell steelbook of Arkham Origins, I think that was the right call on that front.

I want to go Digital for Destiny, unfortunately I'm cheap and lazy...in that order. Give me 20% off the digital version like BB:GCU, and I'm in. Also, since there isn't another game I'm interested in for the next 6 months or so, leaving the disc in won't be a problem.

- It'll never be cheaper digitally than the physical copy...true to a point but discounts will come.

- You still can't trade it in...see above

- You can't lend it to your friend who just wants to try it before buying it...I stopped loaning out disc games long ago after one favorite came back damaged, which I had to replace which is why you don't worry about with Digital Base Games

- Trading it in is impossible...see above

- you don't get a shiny disc with a cheap plastic box and paper sleeve...see above about lending it out

- Did you know that you can't trade digital copies in?...Did you know you don't have to worry about handling a disc a couple of hundred times, damage or scratches...like when you loan it out.

bunch of savages in this place.

...actually prefer Consumer Freedom of Choice or in some cases common sense....

If it were as cheap as a disc version with discounts (and honestly, why isn't it?), I'd consider it.
But here those with GCU can get the base game for $38 + tax after discount and $10 RZ certificate. That beats the hell out of $59.99. And in this particular case, getting an apparently rare steelbook, the Season Pass and some silly digital bonuses might be worth $80 total to me (the guy who has a bronze CoD medal, a Max Payne figure standing over a hardwood floor covered in bullet casings and a leather-skirt clad Kratos figure on top of his desk).

Yeah, as long as I have GCU, digital will never be a better deal.

The only times digital would be a better deal is if PS+ or GWG offer the game at a cheaper rate than what has been provided at retail (minus 20 percent).

It's a shame Best Buy doesn't sell digital downloads for the consoles outside of DLC.

And it's a bigger shame they don't give GCU discount with digital codes!

Yeah, but rarely if ever has PS+ offered a AAA title cheaper than 20% off before release. Not sure about Xbox.

Retailers would revolt (and then get over it).

Michael Corvin 08-06-14 10:52 PM

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 
Which is why they need to sell digital cards for specific games.

PS4 LE available again for preorder at Amazon

Looks like if you haven't gotten an e mail from Best Buy about your preorder by now, your're safe


All customers that were impacted by these cancellations would have been notified via email by now, so if you haven’t received a cancellation notification, your pre-order is still active.

Thanks for connecting with us on the forum.

Sincerely,

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 
damn it. i sort of wanted my LE canceled. :lol:

Dan 08-08-14 04:47 PM

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 
You could... just... cancel it yourself?

Deftones 08-08-14 04:47 PM

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 
I wanted it canceled, so i could get the $50 credit, and then just put that toward the regular edition. :shrug:

Dan 08-08-14 04:49 PM

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 
but... if you cancel it... you get 100% credit and...

I think everyone sort of knew this was coming but it's now confirmed....

Destiny beta characters cannot be transferred to final game

Characters created during the Destiny beta cannot be transferred to the final game, Bungie has confirmed.

Any items earned will not be transferrable either. Why? Because the amount of tweaks made to the game following the beta could leave some characters "broken", the developer says.

"Since the Beta, we’ve continued to tune and adjust the game," explained designer Tyson Green. "The way you earn experience has been adjusted up and down a bunch of times. Items have been added and removed. New features toggled. Although there’s no single monumental change, the sum of the tweaks leaves characters from the Beta Build in strange shape that would be confusing at best, broken at worst."

Safe to delete beta from ps4? No reason to keep it installed right?

Yep.
