Come on Amazon old buddy don't let me down.
I'm bailing out Monday when the servers go up. Some early disc owners will be playing while I stare at a countdown timer. Can't do it.
I'll be traveling all day Tuesday and through the night. Wednesday will be my kick off.
I will be here in the OT...counting the minutes at work...will be the longest work day in quite some time for me.
Through a series of interesting events, I once ended up with 5 huge boxes at the front door. March 26th, 2013. Ultimate Songbird Edition. 5 of them.
She still supported my gaming even after what we call "The Songbird Incident."
There won't be a "Ghost Edition Incident."

Amazon usually ships tuesday release date delivery late sunday, right?
I'm flipping my ghost edition. I pre ordered it but realized that I didn't need the extra stuff. So I'm basically doing it to get the game free.

Do you plan on playing with IRL friends or mostly with Gafers? I believe a 3 to 1 tilt towards PS4 means go with that for Gaf raiding. Otherwise, play where your friends are^^
Omg so awesome I spit out my drink

I just changed my shipping on Amazon to 1 day and it cost me 4 bucks. Well worth it.
I hope this doesn't mess anything up.
Why would you do that? The game will be delivered on release day if preordered and not before.
I'd cry happy tears if it went by NZDT 12:01 am...
I don't understand. Your roommate wants the PS4, and you have the Xbox version but really want to play on PS4?
Isn't this a win-win situation to get the PS4 version so you can both play together? Or maybe I'm not understanding.

Why not both?^^ I am maining Warlock Sunsinger to play that role for my three man fire team of my brothers and I. But I will at least do story content with all three before deciding what my main PvP squeeze will be^^
Nautica's shaping up great, I love a girl into science. Chromia started good and just kinda.....got worse. WB #4 is kinda whack.
Swear down, early today in this very thread a Bungie chap posted about the number of players in a strike might be changing. Can't remember if it was a post or a picture of a post from elsewhere, but I SWEAR I saw it. I have no idea which page in the hundreds it's on, but it was this afternoon. Some time after 5pm GMT I think. I'ma look.
EDIT: Ze thread, she ees too big!
At least you're ready for Smash eh?
Depends how far you are from a fulfillment center. There's one 3 hours from Chicago so for me they just overnight it Monday evening and I get it Tuesday.
If only I had enough money left for that limited edition hardcover Brady Games Destiny strategy guide.
Have to put $50 towards my console. Sorry, guys, but I need an upgrade.
...?
*looks*
Oh, bought. Yes. I want that.
Has any game's OT ever hit OT2 before it's release around here?
I was in the same situation until yesterday. I'm not all that big on collectibles.. Downloading 20GB doesn't bother me much. And I get to avoid ever fiddling with discs, especially since it's an online-only game. I switched to the digital edition and have it preloaded waiting.
Did you buy it on the NZ store or just change your region to NZ?
If the former, how much was it?
If you prefer digital, then I'd say digital would be best in the long run, unless you fancy yourself a collector of sorts. I feel after the novelty of whatever LE gives you wears off, you'll wish you had gone digital if you prefer it.

Got a text from GS saying I can pick my destuny bundle by 12:01am tuesday. aw yiss
I'm not going to look. If I look, I'll buy it. I don't need it. I don't need it
Canceled my LE Thursday for the digital guardian edition...first time I have bought a full game digitally at release. Not going to be there at midnight for the servers to go live since I need to work and didn't want to risk shipping problems/delays when I got back from work. Few bucks cheaper in the US too.

..the iPad version of the Destiny companion app?

I made the switch earlier today. I justified it because I know I will want to play Destiny for a long time so I don't plan on selling it. Also I have a Vita for remote play so it would make sense to have a digital game that I will play often.
Currently the only digital games I have and plan to obtain this year are:
Destiny
Infamous Fetch DLC (allows me to play the arena with her and Delsin: the only replay value of this game)
Driveclub PS+ version (cheaper)
GTA 5 (will play this game non-stop as well)
I still plan to buy CoD:AW and Assassin Creed but I know these games will get stale eventually and I will end up selling them.

Destiny PS4 has been in the top 100 on amazon for 250+ days.
This is the big one folks! Hope you washed your hands and kissed the children cause noone is going to be clean by Thursday

Not sure if sarcasm. I'm very excited about this game, like square enix eyeing another final fantasy 13 spinoff.
Don't think so. GTAV had ~320/160 pages by the midnight release.

It looks that way, yes

If there's one game that needs to be digital, it's Destiny.
It's something I'm going to be playing for months/years to come, and I don't want to bother swapping out discs.

Why buy a guide?
Any idea how the Destiny PS4 Bundle Edition differs from a regular copy?

The one question they know their customers don't ask.
It'll all be digital one day and we'll like it. Might as well realize why right now.
its because we don't have room for more Chinese swag for every fiction and in fact, none of it feels as good to have in an adult home as stuff that has actual history and ties in reality that inspired the aesthetics of the mass produced swag in the first place. Give that house some class like the Underwoods are coming to visit.

Anyone have that bladedancer gif that was going around the last couple of days? I can't find it.
Pretty sure it's regular old destiny with no extras

If you don't mind not getting the collectibles, you might as well buy the digital version.

Not sarcasm. Love what you have on your wall. Not to get too off topic but Seconds was a fantastic book, and anyone reading this should check it out if they liked Scott Pilgrim.
Awesome job on these. Took one for my avatar if you don't mind!

Wait, Destiny is rated T?
Damn, I never thought about that. The T rating is a rare breed, much less a big triple A shooter. It's really quite odd when you think about it.

I made a thread about it, but it didn't get a ton of traction
1.) preload Destiny
- at this point the listing for the game will say it is downloaded, but is not playable until 12pst
2.) go to settings, system, language and location and change your location to New Zealand
- your system will reboot
3.) go to settings, system, time zone and choose Auckland, Wellington UTC +12
4.) go back to the Destiny page
- it now says it unlocks at 12 NZST
If you are off work on Monday like me and want to play, this may be your best bet.
Thanks for the answers, I assumed that this was the case. It's already a great deal for a new PS4 owner with the game included.
