Thank goodness I finally got my code redeemed. After finally waiting for bungie.net to work and then waiting for psn to work now I have to wait for my download to finish. Lets hope I don't have to wait for the game to work too

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Just think, you bitched 2 minutes ago for nothin'.

I didn't bitch for nothing. I see it yay! Can I download it? Fuck no. This maintenance is the bane of my existence.

Thanks for the help though. Time to download the beta on two more consoles where this shit is not accepting my keys.

 

[greatgeek]

Is it safe to turn off my PS4 while installing? Will it resume from where it left off?

My question as well, I doubt it'll finish before I need to leave for work.

 

[red731]

20% done

Going for a walk with my dog. Who is really my dog.

 

[Despera]

Well I redeemed the code through Account Management on the PS3... not through the store.

 

[daffy]

OMG MGO made me so mad back in the day. Coincidentally, I can't wait for MGO2

 

[anddo0]

It's downloading, but I have no status bar.
The only way to check progress is by clicking in the "Information" button by the game icon.

 

[SnakeEyez]

Can anyone else log into the SEN from a browser right now?

Nope, I'm trying to go through bungie.net and it's crapping out on me. I knew I should've stayed logged in on that page smh.

 

[Orochinagis]

cant wait to see PSN in the full destiny release......

 

[Little Old Man]

Is PS+ required for beta users on the PS3?

 

[Scarphace]

So are people getting their codes from the bungie website or email? I'm not even going to try and download anything right now but I still can't find my code anywhere (I did the whole select your region and console thing last week)

Website

 

[Jimmyfenix]

How do you fix the "This product can only be started by the user with a license for it" issue?

I downloaded EU client and am trying to launch it on my default, Canadian account.

When I try under my EU account, I get an error.

Anyone please?

Go into settings and restore licences.

 

[El_Chino]

Destiny on the Xbox one will be a ghost town.

Try again.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

I can't even get onto the PSN store let alone put in my download code!

 

[Number45]

If that's indeed the case, I probably won't have a chance to play it until sunday, as my girlfriend is coming over tomorrow. =/

Prioritise.

Spoiler

Your girlfriend will be around longer than the beta.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

You get them from bungie.net on your codes page.

 

[Meneses]

Unacceptable for a paid service.

 

[FleetFeet]

Is it safe to turn off my PS4 while installing? Will it resume from where it left off?

If you turn it off it will not continue to download, but it will if you put it in standby.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

What's the size of the beta? I mean in GB's. Just want to calculate how long it will take to download.

 

[someday]

Turn your ps4 then on again, did it and it worked started downloading faster

I'm afraid that if I do this that it won't let me back in. I'm at 12% now 1.33/10.94GB.

 

[Auctopus]

Anyone in EU still getting PSN under maitinence when trying to access the store?

 

[VisceralBowl]

How do I actually download the beta from the download list? The little arrow cannot be selected.

 

[Melchiah]

Well considering how much of a shitshow the Alpha was for me, the PSN issues are no surprise at all.

The Alpha worked flawlessly for me, apart from a single bug during a mission.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

32 MB update file and a 14 GB download file? Wait... The download just change to 179 MB.

 

[SteveO1683]

Finally got the content unlocked and the beta launched to a 10GB download. Time to wait.

 

[MoxManiac]

Was about to hit confirm when psn shit the bed. I thought sony would be more competent this gen, but maybe i should lower my expectations.

 

[Dug]

If you redeem your code and then get an error out when trying to start your download, and then can't find the download in XMB. You can restart the download in the PSN Store Downloads tab. Here...

Go to Destiny, hit X, and then X again to start the download.

All I see is this:

 

[Irishmantis]

Finally got it

exactly 2 minutes in 2 seconds it took to upload thats what 200Mb Wired does

 

[molnizzle]

I'm wrong. I'm so wrong. Here's the FULL steps of obtaining this Beta (PS+ is required):

1. Reedeem store code on Bungie.net
2. Get PSN/Xbone code on Bungie.net
3. Redeem PSN/Xbone code on PSN/XBL.
4. Download the Shell + update.
5. Download the actual program.
6. Restore licenses on PS4 (again) or else the Shell won't open
7. Activate PS4 as primary PS4 (again) or else the Shell won't open
8. Open the Shell.
9. Download the HUGE 10.97GB program. 0.09% at the moment. LOL
10. Go to sleep because this thing is not downloading any faster atm.

FFS!

Only for dirty physical media peasants.

Here's what I did:

1.) Pre-ordered Destiny on PSN.
2.) Queued "Destiny Beta" download from my computer's web browser.
3.) Turned on PS4 and opened the new app while it continues downloading the full client.

 

[noah111]

Anyone in EU still getting PSN under maitinence when trying to access the store?

Yup.

 

[Theecliff]

PSN during these times requires patience and persistence. Just keep going. I was able to get to that tab for the picture with about 5 minutes of trying over and over.

Fuuuuuck got as far as pressing download and it gave me another error message

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

He's not wrong. He's paying for it and it should work. I havent touched my ps4 since the alpha and when i log on i expect to not have to jump through hoops to get something to work. Sony shit the bed.

Especially after a private Alpha killed PSN. Its like they don't address it all.

 

[Scarphace]

I can't even get onto the PSN store let alone put in my download code!

Try using the sony entertainment network website, that's what worked for me

 

[Kajiba]

Finally downloading.

 

[Jarmel]

The Alpha worked flawlessly for me, apart from a single bug during a mission.

I'm talking about the initial download.

 

[greatgeek]

If you turn it off it will not continue to download, but it will if you put it in standby.

Does that apply to in client downloads though?

 

[FleetFeet]

Is PS+ required for beta users on the PS3?

No... PS+ is only required for MP (Crucible) on PS4, AFAIK.

 

[mcmudman]

cant wait to see PSN in the full destiny release......

Thankfully they're going to allow preloading for the full release.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Anyone in EU still getting PSN under maitinence when trying to access the store?

Yup UKgaffer here. Can't even get into the psn store. Saying it is under maintenance

 

[red731]

If you turn it off it will not continue to download, but it will if you put it in standby.

Hello,

Mona-bean.... we shall see each other here quite often.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

I'm afraid that if I do this that it won't let me back in. I'm at 12% now 1.33/10.94GB.

I did it and it worked for me currently at 87%, but ye ai understand

 

[VisceralBowl]

All I see is this:

Yep this. Does not work.

 

[illmatic22]

 

[Winter John]

I keep getting the error message when I try to launch, so like all men of reason, I'm going to go have some pizza and watch Ice Road Truckers

 

[Despera]

Is PS+ required for beta users on the PS3?

Nope.

 

[Borman]

All I see is this:

Same here.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

It's finally downloading, my god, that was some bullshit.

 

[SDCowboy]

To anyone who's having a hard time redeeming your code try http://www.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/home/

Ok, I don't see where to redeem the code there. Maybe I'm losing it. lol

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Can anyone else log into the SEN from a browser right now?

No. And I was about 10 seconds away from initiating the download after redeeming my beta code when it kicked me out an hour ago. I am not amused.

 

[Sloane_Ranger]

Trying to get into Destiny PS4 on day one is really starting to remind me of trying to get onto GTAV Online on 360 day one
