Digital Guardian Edition for me. I feel like this is a game I'll play for a long time, so I'll always want it to be loaded up and ready to go.
Plus, I'll be loading the game off my SSHD so maybe a bit better performance for me.

Digital, will always have, will never sell, save $5 for buying the limited edition digitally
No need to insert disc
Always there, even if needed to make space, delete, can re-download any time when expansions drop
Pre-Load on X1 live already, PS4 on the 7th
Game servers for NA go live @3:00 AM EST on the 9th, so even if you go retail you'll have to wait and most likely disc will make you install the whole game to the HDD, so why not get digital from the start
Playing this for at least 6+ months, Digital
< 2 months Retail
i was gonna use a motorcycle helmet but then i found this
no time to order, i need to see if any local hardware store has one of these and the tinted visor.
A uvex face shield, they have from clear to shade 5. Shade 5 would be way too dark for any night time activities, so a shade 3 would work.
How do I know all of this?

Thanks for the detailed response I didn't play the beta and have only decided to get the game in the last week so I know little about the game. Spent the last few days just watching videos and lurking in Destiny threads.
-I know I will NEVER sell this game. (aside from extreme financial reasons ofc)
-No disc needed.
-I can pre-load.
But the most important of all:
-I get to play the game from the very first moment the servers go up. EDIT: At 9:00 am local time. So when I wake up, Destiny will be there on my baby!
we finally burried the withdrawl thread... oh my gosh im so fcking ready for this game
If they do, just grab something to eat while you wait and post here.
haha, well I will do some DestinyGAF stuff whilst I wait.
I mean I have a fast internet connection. But the amount of people hammering the updates will probably cause them to download slower than usual.
But oh well worst comes to worst I will just play on my xbox until the Sony updates finish!
I actually dislike Preloading so much, it's a cool feature, but it sitting there and looking at me but if I go to access it just says come back 9/9 is driving me crazy.
I should unpin from dashboard
I'm getting the bundle so I'll be physical. I'd probably go digital guardian edition from gamestop otherwise. Discount on expansions, extra dlc, and the gamestop mount.
Since this game is always online, most of my digital reserves are kind of moot. The only one remaining is reselling and I don't think I would.

I am. I wanted to upgrade my physical preorder to the Limited Edition a while back only to be told it was all sold out. I decided to just cancel that preorder and get the Guardian Edition on PSN.
Physical Limited Edition baby!
I want to feel that cold steel in my hands before I play. Just got my gold (2.0) headset today so I'm all ready. Now the waiting begins.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. Quite apt actually as we're already dead.
I've actually meant the part after Tyrion and Sansa's wedding, when he says "Then so my watch begins."
But your's muche better lol.

I pre loaded on Xbox one. Can't wait for that slow frame rate!
Unlucky to anyone who ordered online, and have to wait for a parcel.
That wait would be a killer, I remember my Halo Reach didn't come till 3pm, the delivery guy apologized said it had been a crazy crazy day.
I was seriously not amused though...
Why be like that?

Yeah it doesn't really inspire confidence. Hopefully it's there at launch as a surprise or soon after

Yes me too, I'm throwing in some dryhumping of the box too.
Deliveries where I live come at about 11am, latest 11:30am so not toooo bad I suppose. Still happier with physical.

do they sell those with the shade 3 included?
I'm sure that this Friday will see probably the biggest update ever.
Which will give us all the details for Clans ect.

Selling platforms is stupid unless you are unemployed and need the cash.

You'll enjoy it, hope it was the PS4, can fireteam it up with me for glorious hours of hunting stuff and earning trophies in the process, if X1 or last gen, tough luck sir, I can be at your side or be of service
Not on the MSC site, but your local welding supply store should or even check home depot/lowes.

Whoever was saying you will change your time zone to play the digital version early, that won't work. On Xbox one, on the game management page for the preload, it says the game becomes available at 12am PST. It does not say 12am "your local time." Changing your time zone does nothing, since you can't change when 12am PST is.
The only way to play early is to have a physical copy of the game. Whenever the servers go up, you can play. Again, changing your time zone will do nothing, since the servers aren't going live on a per time zone basis. They just go live.

It's the PS4 version.
Speaking of trophies I'm definitely going for the platinum in this. Feel like it's gonna take a looooong time though.
my body is ready
"Complete a Raid without dying" while keep you busy, especially since it means that all members of your Fireteam can't die.
Really glad there was an open beta as I was going to buy this day 1 before I tried it.
There was a lot to be impressed by, no doubt, and I'm not arguing that the beta was indicative of a bad game - not at all - but there were far too many issues that kept me from having fun on my way to level 8 so I reckon I'll hold off.
If people really freak out about how good the rest of the content is then I'm likely to play it at some point, just not for 70 euros. Everyone getting it day 1 - have fun!

Yeah I am personally running to GAME for the midnight release, picking up my ghost edition then jumping back on the 7 min bus ride home.
I will try to hold myself back from having full on love with my little ghost.....
NO PROMISES!
Also, add another code to the 17 Collector Card codes that you can redeem. This one is from completing the Google Maps Destiny thingy, and it gives you an Emblem.
I'm going to mug you.
I'm going US Digital because it's cheaper than buying it here (EU).
If I could get my hands on the limited edition i'd probably go for it, but theres news in Portugal about retailers receiving only 20% of what they were promised to get in stock of the Ghost and Limited editions.

You will regret buying it on ps3
1. Preload, will be ready to play as soon as the servers unlock, don't have to go to retail store.
2. US PSN Store. I'm European and Destiny price in Europe is ~ $100. Much cheaper to buy $60 US digital version and not risk import charges when ordering from US retail.
3. Don't have to deal with discs.
you can actually change your specs on the fly anyway for each of the sub classes.
The only time you can lock it is when you want to.
So really you only get 3 slots so just have one for each and just never lock your talent tree.

How n00b friendly is the game? I'm tempted to go digital on PS4 but i won't bother if it's going to be difficult to join in as someone who hasn't been pwning n00bs online since 1995. Offline, yes; online, hardly touched it.
What was the atmosphere and community like on the Beta? I know there's an online SP campaign but i suspect the real meat is grinding the missions for loot with a clan.
I'll probably hold off a while but my impulse to buy is strong.

Oh yea. Derp
forgot you had to actually lock in your abilities. So yea it's not so bad then.That will be difficult at first, but if new tiers of gear are introduced in expansions it will get easier over time. Go into the normal mode of vault of glass after getting some hard mode gear from the second raid and it should he a breeze.
Oh yea. Derp
It's fine Guardian, you're only just awaking from your slumber
I wonder if it will be person specific or whole group dependent, if it's group then hell yes it will.....
Also at least it's not this all over again:
Vidmaster Challenge: Endure
I remember this taking literally HOURS to do.....
