The Limited Edition price has been reduced to £80 in the UK, but that's still a bit too much considering the US price is £52 when converted.

Hope they will lower the prices for the rest of Europe aswell.. I've paid €110 for the limited edition, which is more than £80,it should be €100 to be the same price.
 
The fact that the limited edition just went down in price makes game.co.uk's ridiculous ghost edition price that much harder to stomach. £70 extra for a few extra bits and pieces? Fuck off Game.

That's insane.. , and i thought it was outrageous that i am paying 110 euros ($150) for the limited edition while that is the price for the Ghost Edition in the US.

The limited edition in the uk has went down to £80 (100ish euros) while the ghost edition is £150 (190ish euros/$257ish)

US Digital Guardians Edition all the way. Best value by far for those in the UK :)

I can't do digital, i'm a relic, i must have the box.
 
I'm a sucker and preordered the Ghost edition from my local shop.

I won the £100 of loyalty shares via E3 and I have £20 on my game card so that'll be a couple games later down the line anyway.

So I will be grabbing it at midnight on the 9th and running home to play for the rest of the week, hell yes I have a week booked off for destiny.

I just like shiny things, hell I'm a grown ass man and can afford it, so why not......

For Xbox One I will be doing the US digital guardian though.

I wish the Ghost edition came with a digital code for the game too, I hate discs....

I've just gone for this as well. Previously I had a disc pre-order on Amazon, but an extra tenner for the expansions that'll easily cost at least twice that on release makes it a no-brainer, and I was toying with digital anyway because it means that it'll always be easy to switch to and I get the feeling if I had it on disc it would just live in the drive anyway :P

There shouldn't be any region lockouts other than having to get the US DLC, in future, right? I'll have played on my UK account on the alpha and beta with an EU code - that won't mess anything up by using a US code for release with a UK account or anything, and I'll still get the beta emblem and preorder Vanguard stuff?

That emblem will probably be tied to your bungie.net account rather than DLC.
 
High-Five. Digital is for chumps.

P.S. Hunter FTW!
 
So is there matchmaking for Raids? I know there is for strikes. I have several friends that I play with pretty regularly, but not enough for a full raid team. Im hoping we can fill the final two slots with matchmaking, would make it waaaay easier. Anyone have any idea?

It'd be ridiculous for the raid not to have matchmaking when strikes do. I don't think this is something Bungie would mess up.

Done the same but for the normal version. Contemplating the extra £20ish for the DLC, but haven't fully decided yet. Still, getting the base game for about £15 cheaper and able to play without farting about with discs makes any initial run around worth it.

Nothing confirmed yet, but no reason why it wouldn't since it requires 6 people.

There will be matchmaking for raids, but I honestly doubt many of those matchmade groups will be successful if the raid is as difficult as Bungie claims.

Should be good for a learning experience if people don't rage quit after dying.

It could lead to meeting cool new people to play with though, and over time develop a successful team :)

Either way my hype for this game is through the roof, Im consuming every piece of info for this game like a rabid hyaena, making me feel like a teenager again lol
 
Is there any word if the actual download will go live before the beta starts giving us some time to download it? I'd love to come home from work with the beta ready to go.
 
Excellent. Just saved me £9 on amazon as they price match the lowest price.

Amazon.co.uk Destiny Limited Edition

Although I do agree that the UK prices are an absolute joke.

Still £95 at GAME. If I do buy it, it'll be from GAME so that I can pick it up on the way home from work without worrying about the post being crap. Or I could order it to an Amazon locker... God damn choices. Kinda tempted to go digital tbh but I don't know how to play US games on my UK account.

You press X on the game to boot it up like you would any other.
 
I'm still wondering where I should pre-order from.

Digital guardian is $99.99 from PS store (stupid Canadian $10 markup).
Same from Amazon is $89.99 ($94 CAD).

Both are exactly the same, but with the PSN order I can pre-load the beta.

No word yet. My plan is to leave my ps4 on standby all day until I get the code, then redeem the code on the PS webstore and
hopefully
It'll be DL'ed by the time I get home.
 
Well duh. Is buying the game as simple though?

Needs a little bit of work around, but not really any trouble. The biggest thing is that you can't use a UK card to outright buy it, you need to get PSN codes from somewhere, Amazon.com is good, or look in the BST thread as users sell them slightly cheaper there.

The only other thing to make sure is that you've linked your PS4 and US account as Primary, this lets you use downloads on any account on that system (including your UK one).

Codes will be sent after 10 am right? So, 7 pm for me. I may not play on Thursday. Download will take about 5 hours for me.

Just ignore him, he's being a total dick.

How To US buy.

Make a US PSN account
Add funds to the sum of $90
To do this make a US billing address you can do this via Boarderlinx
After you have your codes enter them on US account
Buy destiny digital guardian deluxe
Set US profile as primary profile for ps4

You'll then be able to play the game on a uk/eu account fine.
 
He/she must be in NZ, it's already 16th there.

1 hour to the 16th in Australia, then I can also post the obligatory "1 more day left" post. :P
I fixed it!!

Smh I'm from Wisconsin. Not some island.

While he didn't say it out right for the lvl cap being raised. There were tons of hints to it being higher. Or at least more access to better upgrades.

Well, damn, that's a good idea. How do we go about doing that? I've never done it before, obviously.
 
I'm sure this goes without saying for most, but if you send a PSN friend request (or XBL I'm sure) - please make sure you mention that you're from DestinyGAF. Requests from unknowns get deleted as I try to keep my FL tidy.
