Think you're right. For some dumb reason you can preload it in euroland or if you make a euro account, but not a US one.

I'm too lazy to bother making a 'foreign' account to do it, though it's supposedly really easy to set up.

I wouldn't get my hopes up too much for a midnight start;

The Destiny Beta FAQ posted:

Q. Great! When is this glorious Destiny Beta of which you speak?

On PS4 and PS3, the Destiny Beta will begin on July 17th at 10AM PDT.

On Xbox One and Xbox 360, the Destiny Beta will begin on July 23rd at 10AM PDT.

The Destiny Beta will be OFFLINE for maintenance on all systems from July 21st and July 22nd PDT.

The Destiny Beta will close at end of the day on July 26th PDT.

I have no idea if that's old news, I only noticed it today.

I mostly just want to be able to start the download at midnight so it's ready to go when they do start (10am PDT sounds likely, that's what the one guy on the IGN stream said earlier today)

Don't lose your head over it.
I had hoped that people that pre-ordered through PSN would be able to download ahead of time since they do not have to enter codes. That would have been nice to lighten and spread out the load a little bit.

Where did you find this in the mobile app? The website is throwing "Unexpected error (3)" when I try and set my clan, but I can't see a way to do it on the mobile app.

This happened to me because my clan was already set, so you might have clicked it twice already.

At work tonight & have to switch hotels when I get off in the morning. I left my PS4 on stand-by back at my room hoping beyond hope it'll all be DL'd by the time I get off.

I wish there was a setting on the console to re-try failed downloads every x minutes.

Well at least that's a tolerable outcome given my situation.

A month & a half at my new office; weekends off. It figures that during the initial beta drop, I'd end up out of town at a hotel & working nights for my client.

Leveling might not be as fast as it was in alpha for testing purposes, since the beta is longer.

Is there any information on when the Ghost packages will go available for sale? Or did I already miss that boat? Please don't let it be the latter, I need something extremely stupid to spend my money on.

Also, I missed out on the alpha so I'm incredibly hyped to play this beta tomorrow. It sounds like Borderlands, which I loved, except tweaked in every way I wanted it to be tweaked. You drat bastards at Bungie can have all my money if you deliver on even a portion of my hype.

Ghost editions are long gone. Bungie may release more but they've said they want them to be rare so honestly I doubt it.

drat. Oh well :sigh: I preordered back when there was only the basic version so this is what I get for not being vigilant. May just shift my preorder to a digital copy then, especially since I'll be able to preload.

Went and re-preordered today, haven't gotten a key.
