Anyone else fire the beta up to listen to the music, then press X hoping it will actually launch?
Pfffft, who would even do that?
I would, several times.

I will be on in spurts; my partner will also want to play but our then-11 day old baby will surely interrupt with inconsiderate demands.

When you go to it's page on the Xbox store it just says "coming soon." There isn't a pre-load option.
If you bought digital from the store it lets you preload. Had it downloaded a few days now.

Wondering this myself. I've also been wondering if the beta or release will support HDR but I guess Bungie doesn't like to disclose anything.
Hopefully it will, but Bungie has been known to change display options from Beta to Release.
IIRC, the XB1 version of the D1 beta ran at 900p and then was bumped to 1080p for release.

Did you buy digital or retail? Retail you have to activate your code via Bungie.net (profile > codes), then select which console you're planning on playing, and it should generate you a beta code to redeem on XBL/PSN.
XBL -> once you redeem it should auto start or show up in queue.
PSN -> Either select "download on PS4' or redeem code and search "BETA" in the store.

Anybody need a code? PM me if so.
Congrats on the kid.
Cool, I should be on most of the day since I happened to get that day off this week.
Had a Sherpa rage quit on our raid team last night trying to do Vosik challenge in WotM Heroic. Weirdly he seemed really patient and explained everything and did call outs really well but after failure after failure (That said the team was getting the hang of it and getting better) he just left. Thought it was a drop out but he didn't respond to any messages or invites afterwards. Pretty shitty really.
Thankfully I was scheduled as reserve for another WotM run on Normal with a group going after the monitors for Outbreak Prime and that group was fantastic. Two young kids being helped by a friend of their father's to get the monitors and everyone was really communicative.
I love raiding in this game, the occasional dud like last night doesn't really change that.

I thought the only "enhancements" were running it in 4K/30FPS on PS4 Pro?

I'm gutted I won't be able to play the Beta
Yep. That's all. I hope they're turned on for the Beta though. I know a few games dont include their enhancements in demos/betas

I'm gutted I won't be able to play the Beta
Why?
I'm not massively bothered about doing everything the beta has to offer (prefer to experience it all when the game launches) but I'd like to make sure that I at least get the emblem - assume I just need to get online at some point? I'm also going to try and make sure that I can get on when they open up the social space on Sunday (which I think is at 18:00 in my timezone).

Mostly interested in going of the beaten path in the strike and maybe see some of the patrol area.

Hype is real.
Got PS4 code via preorder, still hunting for XB1 code (I pre-ordered physical but messed up when entering code hah) but hey I'll be playing Destiny 2 tomorrow so no complaints really from me

Yeah I'm excited to see the first two story missions, finally playing the strike rather than watching videos. And even though I suck at it. I'm going to play around in the crucible.

Isn't the Beta just the "Homecoming" mission as far as Story content goes? Haven't seen anywhere saying 2 missions are in it.

It was in a promotional IG post. Most likely the person behind it mistook the strike as another story mission.
Yeah, I wonder how far you can get.
Well this was the same build from E3, I'm pretty sure 4k HDR was in that build

The discussion on the "carry culture" is really interesting. Worth a listen.
