Support NeoGAF

Well, damn, that's a good idea. How do we go about doing that? I've never done it before, obviously.

Make sure your PS4 is on standby mode and the option to download in standby mode is enabled in the PS4 power settings.

Login to your PSN account via phone/computer, go to redeem codes and enter the beta code. It should show you an option to initiate the download on your console.

Top, top tip my friend.

The Beta launches at 6pm UK so I'll be home but for anyone not home to begin the download this is amazing. I'll 100% use this feature in the future

 

[Number45]

18:00? I'll be at work, boo!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

My friend is gonna be playing all of Friday while I'm at work. This is bullshit mon.

 

[dreamer3kx]

Think Ill be getting this digitally, just feels right, can you cancel psn preorders if change of mind?

Beta starts at 7pm here (Netherlands) which means i'll also be home before it starts, i just hope that they release the download codes a bit earlier so that we can download the game before the servers are opened.

I can't seem to find the information whether servers will open at 7 pm or codes will start to be sent at 7 pm.

I'm missing the last 2 days for a wedding halfway across the country. If anything cool happens (like an impromptu GAF dance party at the tower on the final day...wink wink) try and grab some footage for me guys.

 

[WITHE1982]

18:00? I'll be at work, boo!

I got an email from Amazon stating it was 6pm although from a press release it says:

The beta launches on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 at 5pm UK time on 17th July. The beta begins on Xbox One and Xbox 360 at 5pm on 23rd July, meaning PlayStation platforms get a week's timed exclusivity.

The beta runs to 6.59am on 28th July. It's worth noting that the beta will be offline for scheduled maintenance on 21st-22nd July.

either way I'm guessing it'll be bad news for you.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

You know for a group entirely made of neogaf members I'm surprised how well we're doing. I think we're the only "major gaming website" on the all time popular groups. At least past 1000 members.

It's just for effect anyway. Chances of my house relinquishing the TV before 22:00 are basically nil. :'(

I think UK doesn't have summer time. Currently we have GMT+2 here.

Ins't that just a Voidwalker with the PS exclusive armor, like the filename says?

 

[Brohan]

I'm confused aswell... but also because www.destinythegame.com/beta shows 1 day and 17 hours remaining before launch of the beta.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Ah ok good to know. Is that the equivalent of GMT+1? Timezones are diffcult...

I'm confused aswell... but also because www.destinythegame.com/beta shows 1 day and 17 hours remaining before launch of the beta.

It starts at 6pm in UK.

Yup 6pm, finish work at 5:30pm, walk home, be home for 5:50pm

Oh nice, didn't see that countdown timer.

Looking forward to the beta withdrawal thread.

 

[Brohan]

Oh nice, didn't see that countdown timer.

Looking forward to the beta withdrawal thread.

Yeah, maybe they will send out the download codes when that timer reaches 0.

 

[n0tail]

Any words on when it will be available to download for US PSN?

 

[Kyoufu]

Yeah, maybe they will send out the download codes when that timer reaches 0.

PSN will melt with everyone downloading at once. D:

I wonder if the beta pre-load will go up with the store update today for US PSN.

Same here mate. Babysitting for a relative from Thursday until Sunday so young kids and a wife to contend with (and we know who'll win out in that battle). Thank heaven for my Vita and remote play.

 

[Yu Narukami]

You still need to download the game. Unless you did the pre-order trick. My download will take 5 hours lol...I can't start playing at midnight knowing that I need to wake up at 6am to get ready for work. I need to be strong and wait till Friday night.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

I already have the Beta on PS4, I have a friend who is gonna be playing it on PS3. Can he give me a Beta invite on PS3 as well? I don't want to lose access to the PS4 Beta though.

Yeah dude had a PSN version pre ordered so mine is on console and good to go! EU PSN for once getting something before US it's a miracle a destiny miracle.

Man that sucks, what speed is your internet?

you get three codes so yes he can give you one, as long as you're both same region

Does the preload trick still works? I'd like to use it.

It did last night anyway.

That countdown stops at 08:00 BST.

I can't bring myself to use remote play for some reason, it feels like I'm betraying my Vita.

On a positive note, I don't have to be up early so I can play nice and late into the night.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

As a Murican I demand Bungie give us preloading rights. I don't want to open up a your a peein' account.

8MB

Bungie should really allow pre-load for everyone. Seriously how many people will download this at the same time? Millons?

 

[jon bones]

Both if you wedding goers turn off your care module. Dance!

oh you already know!

 

[Black Republican]

oh you already know!

please tell me this isnt a mod!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

It's not.

Damn.. I'm on 144mbps atm, So lord I couldn't even imagine 8mb downloads again, absolutely hated map packs for Halo when I had that speed as they took forever,
The horrors of digital you must face, although the preload version I got was NO WAY 12gb it was done in like 10 seconds so I think there maybe another install lurking for me on the 17th, we'll see though.

Yeah I do agree all should be able to pre load, the actual pre load as I stated above was no way the 12gb they stated so we'll see just how it works out....

As a European (World champion BTW) I can tell you it feels really got to have the Beta downloaded and ready to go.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I was rooting for Germany because as a south American born Murican, I hate argentina and brazil bandwagons more than I dislike the idea of Europe beating us on home turf.

 

[Nightengale]

Those are Titans btw

Spoiler

Titans ftw

Where Warlocks and Hunter go "Shit, gotta use my Super!!"

Titan is just "bitch please." *reloads*

 

[Dredd97]

Less than 50 hours to go

 

[jon bones]

please tell me this isnt a mod!

nope, the dancing in this game is on point

 

[Storm Raider]

Less than 50 hours to go

:') can't come soon enough

 

[ComputerMKII]

So... other modes than Control is possible in the beta?



Those teasing bastards!

Source: What to expect from the Destiny beta

One of the best updates I've seen in a long time. No bullshit, just lots of new info. This is how you make an update.

I'm so excited for the beta!

 

[veloxStrix]

Wait, Germany wins so all of Europe wins? Or is he German?

I personally always root for England. I am always disappointed as well.

Here's the thing: I don't dance. At all. Ever. For any reason.

Unless of course my GF wants me to, and then I have to.
