Official Destiny Alpha Withdrawal Thread

So the PS4 I ordered from CowBoom showed up today. I'm 19, and the UPS guy asks if my parents are home, because he thinks there's alcohol in the box. So I told him it's just a PS4, and he hands me one of those stickers you usually get when they showed up and you weren't home.

I haven't been doing anything today so I could wait for him and be here when he arrives.

I'm slightly pissed off right now. He's not coming back until Monday, and my Dad's literally never home in time for UPS.

what business is it of his if the package has alcohol?
 
UPS is making me contact CowBoom.
What, so CowBoom can call them and tell them it's not alcohol?! This just seems like you're being given the run-around.

Edit: CowBoom's telling me they can't fix it. They're issuing a return, and giving me my money back. No current gen for me.
What the fucking shit?! This has got to be the worst service for any courier company that I've ever heard!
Are there no local stores that you can pick up a console from?
 
Bungie account set up, all 17 game card codes redeemed, beta code applied, posted on the DestinyGAF topic...now it just needs to be September.

The only reason I was buying one now was because CowBoom was selling them for $250 used, and I was gonna trade it into GameStop for $400 down on the Destiny bundle because of the trade in deal they've got going on right now.

I'll still end up going current gen. I've just gotta wait a little longer and spend about $150 more than I originally wanted to.

If they hint at the announcement of a Collectors Edition... my heart may not be able to take it.

I'd kill for a Skyrim CE-style statue as a collectors item. Or an Art of Destiny book. :D

I really liked the Collector's Edition of Skyrim, in case you couldn't tell.

Also, I keep noticing that people are asking about the PS4 Exclusive Content, and I meant to post this last night..

Dust Palace - Strike
Exodus Blue - Midsized Crucible Arena
Gear, Weapons, etc

I'd love for an artbook, soundtrack, maybe a small statue of the 3 different classes. I just don't want to to end up in the pricing realm of the Call of Duty Prestige Editions.
 
Rent the ps4 version using ps now on your ps4 and play with her on that.

Or go halfsies with her on a white ps4 bundle.

Unfortunately we don't have a PS4 yet. :) Destiny was going to the reason to buy one this year. (Yes, that means I missed the alpha and will be playing the beta on last gen, unfortunately). I've had to live vicariously through NeoGAF and Twitch.


As far as collectors edition, I'm hoping for an art book, or something along the lines of Halsey's journal in Halo:Reach.

Reach had a really good Collector's Edition too. I've got the statue right next to my TV. :P
 

heh

Q. Hey, the Ghost dialog in the Alpha was totally final, right?

Hey, we read the same forums, my fictional, question formulating friend! In fact, the Ghost dialog has already been updated for Beta. It will be updated again for launch on September 9th, as well.

Funny thing about Alpha builds…they’re not done. Please pardon our Moon dust!
 
Two shots, one of Venus and the other Mars.

File names say Beta but I think they only are listed like that because they were in the Beta section of the update.
Edit: The second is a PVP map.

I'm thinking they are PVP maps rather than destinations.

I think we have seen both of these in videos. The Venus one recently and the Mars one a while ago when we first saw blink.

Glad to see new content for the beta.
 
I know a lot of people aren't going to take the "Dragon Slayer" trophy literally, but I really hope there is a Space Dragon. Knowing Bungie, I think there are pretty good odds of there being a space dragon.

"That Dragon came from the moon!"

Still sort of vague, I know. It’s almost as if we’re planning to drop all the information you need, and more, ahead of Beta on an auspicious date in the very near future.

Bungie Day info drop confirmed? Also, I think the fact that they mentioned a Collector's Edition at all means that maybe there are pretty decent odds of it happening?!
 
This part cracked me up:

Q. How long will the Beta run for, and what do we get to play?

Still sort of vague, I know. It’s almost as if we’re planning to drop all the information you need, and more, ahead of Beta on an auspicious date in the very near future.

Q. Will Destiny have a Collector’s Edition?

It’s almost as if we’re planning to drop all the information you need, and more, ahead of Beta on an auspicious date in the very near future. (Sort of vague, I know.)

I got the teases I wanted for Bungie Day. Thanks, urk!
 
Collectors edition information and seeing portions of Guardians of the Galaxy on July 7th?! Good day indeed.
 
My prediction: Destiny collector's edition announced on Bungie Day.

My other prediction: my bank account will scream like a hungover banshee that day.
 
Predictions on CE.

I think there will be a deluxe bundle on the order of $79 to $99. And a premium limited edition bundle from at least $150. Maybe even pull a Titanfall and go $250 but that seems less likely.
 
Damnit I'm so ready for beta.

This is coming from someone who got a random email invite for the alpha and had no intentions of buying.
