That'll work. I would go the premium route either way.

And I hope that they don't carry over beta stats.

I'll probably start over even if it does. I always screw up stuff while learning a new game. Unless I get some insane drop (not likely...).

My guess is they're saying this as an incentive to get people to grind in beta. More data to crunch. But who knows. It's exceedingly rare, but occasionally games do carry beta progress over.

The Digital Guardian Edition will save you 5 bucks overall.

I don't see what the big deal would be if some progress was carried over from the beta. They're probably going to have a level cap again and during the alpha you couldn't even use rare weapons/armor because they were above the level cap.

I understand 3 months max. But a year is complete BS. I actually would love to see it hardly sell any copies on xbone out of spite to end that silly shit..

I think it was a big FU to MS for keeping halo IP, which they bought from my understanding. I wonder how MS will counter, and will buy out another IP like titanfall outright. They have the money. Surprised they are not doing it more.

That is my understanding, Each expansion they will give extra stuff in weapons, skins and maps to PS4.. Xbone will not be able to get that until a full year later, and even then it might not be all of the items like skins.

Which sucks, because generally a year after launch. Most of the time you can pick up gold copies with all that shit included for free for most games at a price of like 20 to 30 dollars.

That might be the case, but I think Sony has also put a lot of money into the title.

Same here. I remember restarting Fallout 3 several times before I had everything lined up the way I wanted it.

If I'm lazy I'll just read how others have done it but if I really like the game I'll experiment.

IGN streaming the beta today starting around 2PM EST.

When do the beta codes come out?

Tomorrow at 10AM PST.

I watched for a little while just now, and the game looks pretty fun! Too bad that I have to wait until next week to play on my Xbox One, though.

If anybody gets a Beta key for ps3 for this, I will buy one off of them for $5 or $10. I'm getting a ps4 before the game comes out so I don't want to preorder it right now.

Please and thanks, super excited to play this.

hmmm, to take the PS4 on vacation or not. lol

1. Preorder a PS3 copy on Amazon and you'll get a beta access code immediately
2. Get a bungie account and verify your platform of choice.
3. Once you get into the beta cancel your preorder on Amazon.
