I think thats part of the point?

Probably a useless viewpoint, but my download is going and steaming along pretty fast, is it just the US thats having issues? (UK here).

Once you get in it goes fairly quickly (I'm at 8% started 8 minutes ago so about an hour and a half..not too horrible) but the PSN store's being all kinds of fucky, for US at least.

Finally got my codes, but not the PS Store won't load. Why do game companies wait until the last minute to do this stuff? Surely they must have known it would be like this.

Everyone knows the best part about PSN is the meta game of reloading a website every 2 minutes for hours to be able to download a new game.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm at work, since I hope a lot of people are doing this right now and I have no choice but to not do it.

But then I remember I have to go home and try to do it during prime-time. Might as well just accept the fact that I'll play tomorrow. (Gonna try anyway, gonna enter that code so hard)

Hover over the Destiny Beta tile and use Options-> Information. That will display its download status.

Mine is chugging along nicely at 3-4MB/s, and I'm on PS4 in the US. Once I confirm no one I know needs my extra codes, I'll post em in the PGS thread.

The stairs lead down in both directions.

I keep getting "down for maintenance" errors when I try to go into the store and on the few times I do get in I either get a "session has expired" message while the it's checking the code or it gives me the "down for maintenance" error when I select to download it. And then there was that time when I got the "an error has occurred" message while redeeming a code. Please be more vague Sony? "An error has occurred" isn't confusing enough.

Well, if I don't get to play any Destiny Beta this evening I won't be *too* bummed, seeing as it is Thursday, rather than Friday. Now if I don't to play any Destiny Beta *tomorrow*... Then I'll throw a wobbly the likes of which will see me featured in the local newspaper, while collecting an ASBO or two :stare:

Every time I leave my ps4 in standby mode, something ends up happening and it shuts down and complains about being shut down improperly. That being said I don't appear to have gotten a beta code from preordering from the psn.

I would have hoped PSN would have planned for high traffic volumes such as this. I still can't get to the store to start the initial client download.

If you preordered from PSN you apparently don't need a beta code, I got in and currently playing just fine without one (This is EU tough might differ for NA)

You have to go to the PSN store -> Games -> and download the beta client from the store if you preordered off of PSN.

You don't get a code if you preordered from PSN, you just download the beta client and go to town. The link got posted at the top of page 8 I believe. PSN is dying at the moment, though.

If you are in the eu and you did that preorder and cancel trick; it didn't work. CN something something error.

Did the sensible thing and pre loaded the beta and now you have to join the back of the queue to input your code to PSN (which is down) and download 15gb again
