Destiny

[Change is Good]

Good luck! Let us know if it works.

Thanks. I was also able to get a LE through amazon this afternoon when it was back available (much preferred since I had gift cards). I'm on the fence on whether I should cancel my Walmart order or not, since there is always the chance that Amazon may cancel (have yet to be charged).

I haven't heard of Amazon cancelling orders on Destiny.  I'd be more worried about Walmart screwing up than Amazon.

Amazon had downgraded Zombie's GE pre order to the LE. That's why I am not all the way convinced I have a copy (at least until my card is charged). Last thing I need is to cancel my walmart order, just to have amazon email me saying they downgraded me to standard.

Well in that case, just get it thru Walmart.  I already cancelled my digital preorder thru Amazon because they won't get me the code until 9/9 so no preloading.  Of course now if I get the PS3 version so I can get a free PS4 version, I still can't preload PS4.  Gotta figure out if I'm going to buy PS4 version so I can preload and forget about it, or buy PS3 version and hope the PS4 upgrade plan works on 9/9 as planned AND hope it downloads completely before I get home from work on Tuesday...

I have until 8:01pm ET, tomorrow, to go into Walmart and pay for my reserve. Hopefully, amazon will charge my card by then to make this decision easier. I may even end up paying both, and if I get both, just return one back to Walmart unopened for a full refund.

And, why don't you guys just buy your digital downloads straight from PSN?

Because PSN charges you right away and doesn't give refunds, for one thing.  Anyone who bought the PS4 preorder already is PISSED right now.
 
For another, I had a $75 Amazon gift card that I used.  :-D

Sorry, should have clarified. I meant buy digital dowloads from PSN on release day, not as pre order.

And, woop woop!

Edit: Looks like the LE for PS4 is up again on Amazon. Maybe I'm in the clear with my amazon order, and should just cancel my Walmart order?

Pre-ordering via PSN allows pre-loading. I would have bought straight from PSN if it weren't for the fact that GameStop gives you access to the upgraded Sparrow out of the gate, no waiting to save up and buy it later on.

How are they pissed? Because of the PS3>PS4 upgrade? If you're playing on PS4, why would you need the PS3 version?

Plenty of us have friends who have not yet upgraded to PS4.  Being able to play with them on nights when other folks aren't on is a very nice bonus.

+1000 LoL

Then, again, it's free. People always cry over missing out on free schiit even if they will never use it.

I sold off the PS3 a while ago and never looked back. Plus, as you know, I only got the PS4 because the price was right. I know that I'm not the same as everyone, but typically when I get a new console I sell the old and focus only on the new console. Then I use peer pressure to get friends to buy one and join. A buddy of mine is getting a PS4 this week because of said pressure.
 
School was wrong, always give in to peer pressure.

Makes sense, but just like Axel I never looked back after I got my PS4, hence why I gave it to my nephew. If I was going digital, however, I would have jumped on the deal so he can play, too.

Then again, he said he doesn't want Destiny... and I really wanted that LE.

I'm skeptical that there's absolutely no restrictions in place to prevent people from playing both the PS3 and PS4 game at the same time. If it were me I would make the PS3>PS4 a one-way road. You mail me the 3 disc, I mail you a 4 disc. Or you provide the digital information for the 3 version and I provide you with a DL key for the 4 version and then deactivate the 3 version forever. If they do allow people to buy 1 game and effectively get 2 then that sounds like a first in the gaming world.

When I bought the Bad Company 2 digital download on PSN a while back when it was on sale, both my nephew and I were able to play at the same time with our respectable accounts. That was before his PS3 broke, and we both had one.

It was allowed that way, so I don't see how this would be any different. As long as he's using his own account while the game is downloaded (and activated) via mine, it should work.

Edit: This is why a device limit is placed. Digital sharing is allowed, but only up to like 3 devices, I think. Or even just 2 nowadays...

I'm confused slightly. So they allowed you to buy the game on your PSN account, install it to your PS3, then install it to your nephew's PS3 and it could be played on his while you weren't signed into it? I thought you had to be signed into the PSN account that bought a game to play it, similar to how Microsoft handles it.
