If you were like me and preordered the base game you don't get a code. I had to preorder again on Amazon. I was shocked because that's why I preordered to begin with, now I'd have to pay more for the code? Fuck that

If you preorder on the PSN store digitally, you don't get a code. You automatically get access.

Over 2 Hours and I still can't even log in to the PSN store.


I'm a patient man but holy shit this is ludicrous.

Spam PS button method works if you're not doing that.

I didnt manage to join a fireteam in the Alpha.

Teamed up with someone i ran into tonight. Holy crap. Ive had the best 90 minutes. What an insane amount of fun with someone else, and loads of others running around too.

Absolutely superb. This is going to be an awesome couple of weeks.
 
May The Traveller bless you, Sir!

At last!!

Awesome. Glad its working for some! I had to do this method on 3 consoles! Can't wait to play with my brothers! :D

As always, for the new page (for some):

STEP 1: Click here and log in: https://account.sonyentertainmentne...account/giftcard/redeem-gift-card-flow.action

STEP 2: Enter Code. You'll promptly see this:

STEP 3: Go to PSN Store via PS4. If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 4: Go to "Downloads List". If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 5: Select "Destiny Beta". If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 6: Click on "Download". If you see a blank page like this (https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net...33_1459271957674830_8554032848906394303_o.jpg) then don't panic. Keep on trying until it lets you. If it says "Maintenance", keep on pressing PS button until it lets you through.

STEP 7: Repeat STEP 3 to STEP 6 until it lets you download it.

STEP 8: Once the game downloads. Run it and it'll download the 10GB update.
 
I was given 3 codes on my page for ps3 Europe. I redeemed one and got the beta, then another seemed to be the same thing and the last one doesn't work. Anyone know what the different codes are?

All give access to the beta, are meant to be shared so you can build your own 3-man team for strikes, co-op, etc.

Are people in EU, who pre-ordered from the PSN store, still getting the error code when they try start the Beta? It's been giving me the error for 2½ hours, and I've tried restoring the licenses, logging out, restarting the system, and it's set to primary. =/
 
Been trying for over an hour on my download list and keep getting this page.

Best advice I've heard is "keep trying it works after a few retries". After about a hundred attempts, maybe more, I'm still getting this screen.

Anyone know if I can back out of the destiny in game installer and continue it later on or will it restart the entire installing process? I'm about to take my ps4 to a friends.

2 hours and 11 minutes here with no download button.

Screw it I am playing the PS3 version since it downloaded and installed with no issues.

Have you tried restarting your console? So you entered to code on PSN but won't give you access to start the download? I assume you've tried to access your library and it won't show up either? I had the same problem, and persistence pays off in this situation lol... If that is the issue you keep running into, just keep at it trying to load your library, eventually it will show up! Good luck!

I feel you man. I had to restart console. I had to log out and log back in. I had to run other discs to see if a game update will prompt it to work.

Keep on trying! It :)

Remember, once you make it to that screen, keep on using PS button to go in and out of menu for it work it's ass off.

Been trying for half an hour now and all I keep getting are errors when I enter the code. I got to the confirm page twice but only for it to fail too :(

Come on Sony.
FFS Bungie and/or Sony this is why you allow at least a day or two of pre-loading. They knew this was going to happen when everyone rushes to download at the same time.
It's strange that Sony/Bungie didn't allow us to pre-load this. They knew that the PSN servers would get hammered by this.

With all of these people saying the artwork and music is amazing on the install screen, I don't even think I want to install this thing remotely from work lol.

I'm not sure, but make sure you shut it off and not put it in standby before you unplug your console!
 
I know nothing about this game. I've been on black out since it was announced. Is there a single player campaign or is it all co-op?




EDIT: I'm downloading right now. PSN seems to be working fine for me.
 
IF I reedemed the code on the web account page I just need to run on the PS4 right to download it?

If you mean you entered your code on your Bungie.net account page, then no. You need to select a platform and get your platform code first via their 'Redeemed Codes' page.

If you mean you entered it on Playstation's website, then... you should be able to, sure.

Bwaa, was expecting TRANSFERRING GAME CONTENT to copy over my alpha files, hyped as fuck, going at download speed is killing me.

So I'm reading you can put the PS4 in standby and the game will continue downloading from the client. Sweet. But can I, say, switch over and play Wolfenstein while the game downloads? Or does closing the client cut off the download? I'm only wondering because I thought putting the console in standby closed applications anyway.
