Thank the Jesus! I just ordered my gf another limited edition. Best Buy cancelled hers the other day. Now, maybe she will stop whining.

EDIT: At the disagree, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't even have a gf.

rogimusprime3546d ago

Amazon is out, but gamestop still has them. For PS4. You'll have to wait though....doesn't ship till 9/9, according to the site.

I'll just order it through PSN...

GuardiansOfTheGalaxy3546d ago

Gamestop website says they're sold out.

greenlantern28143546d ago

No gamestop sold out again. In my area anyways, and online. I got a call earlier this week from them they said they had them. But 2 hours later when I got off work they where gone. Just gonna download the guardian edition off psn.

GasTankKiller3546d ago

These will be gone in a matter of minutes. Already got my Digital Guardian Edition so I'm good.

HacSawJimThugin3546d ago

Paid of my digital copy yesterday for Xbox One via GameStop and the employees spent a good 15 -20 minutes trying to talk me into buying the physical disc over the digital copy because trade in. I told them that this gen is all about digital for me and they laughed. I laughed back and stated that I don't trade in games and it grew silent soon after. In fact that ask if I need help with anything else and wanted no more to do with me lol. Bring on September!!!!

GasTankKiller3546d ago

Destiny is an online only game so physical is really meaningless. Well unless you got a collector's edition. Those GS employees shouldn't care which version you purchase. A sale's a sale regardless.

I'm trying to go 99% digital with next-gen. The convenience of digital is awesome.

gamerfan09093546d ago

They care because they have to pay a percentage back to the publishers for each sale when people buy new. If people trade in their discs for like 30 to 40 dollars cheaper than what they paid for the new copy and Gamestop can sell Destiny for 55 bucks and get 100 percent profit for it, then it's worth it for them.

gamerfan09093546d ago

A buddy of mine used to work at gamestop and that's common practice man. They will push those physical discs and used games so hard to the point they'll push it over new games. Their entire business revolves around used game sales because they make 100 percent profit off of them.

Letthewookiewin3546d ago

Im pretty much all digital also. When Im thinking about a game I want to play its so much nicer to simply browse from the couch :)

ScottyHoss3546d ago

Yeah man its the best! And as long as you know your PSN and digital choose sales it's cheaper, easier and more convenient :D just rebought Battlefield 4 for $29.79, sold the disc for $35, got it for $20 when the console first launched, and I can proudly say I'm now 100% digital.

greenlantern28143546d ago

Why even involve Game stop then just buy of XBL, or do they not have day1 digital?

HacSawJimThugin3546d ago

I put don't half to get into the beta and went there to get a play and charge kit...Two birds with one stone kinda deal. Plus there are some sexy ass girls that work at this particular gamestop. In the future tho, I plan on using the marketplace for all things digital.

Glad more people have the opportunity to get the edition they want, however they will probably run out fast. This game seems to be selling more than expected.

Now we know where all BestBuys copy's went.lol

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter331d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell330d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig331d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast331d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g331d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka331d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai482d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface481d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard479d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
