Bungie and Activision kicked off a Destiny pre-order frenzy yesterday thanks to the reveal of three Collector’s Edition bundles for the game for the PS4 and Xbox One. Within a few hours the Ghost Edition for the Xbox One was sold out on Amazon, so gamers who own that system were blocked from securing their very own Ghost room sensor full of quotes from Peter Dinklage. As of 10:30 AM EST on July 8th the Ghost Edition for the Xbox One is still sold out on Amazon’s site, but it appears that GameStop still has the highly coveted Collector’s Edition in stock. It should be noted that the PS4 and PS3 Ghost Editions are also sold out on Amazon, but the Xbox 360 version is still in stock.
"It would be great if people had to buy more of the thing," says guy who makes money selling the thing.
If they did then collectors wouldn’t be getting f***** over with discless collectors editions
No shock, GameStop is alive because of trading. If they don't have used games on their shelves they are absolutely donezo.
Well of course the GS boss thinks this... that's their bread and butter business. That and funco pops and clothing, though those two were added as a means to supplement the decline in people buying used games or even new games. GS just sucks overall when it comes to gaming. I buy my physical stuff on Amazon or Best Buy.
As for "requiring" disc drives... nah. Not anymore, but i like having them as an option. They had a means back when games actually ran off the discs and were more/less complete. Now they are incomplete and the disc is really an installer with a license to play. If you want to change games you have to take out the disc and put in another. Its more convenient to just use digital. I have been into digital for years now and when the PSPortal comes along i wont even have to go into my game room. I will just play my PS5 from my couch downstairs. I have a bunch of digital installed games to my 5... I'm all set.

At this point in time If I didn't own a PS5 I would have done this in a heartbeat but I had already acquired a PS5 first before I acquired an XBSX.
I'll stick to keeping both. Gamestop though... seems kind of desperate to take in Series X units. What could they be plotting???
I just want some games for my series X I have both since release and after weighing the offerings in PS Essentials to Gamepass I quickly realized I Owned anything of worth in both catalogs. And, the things I didn't I didn't see as justifiable for maintaining both subs.
Since then my series X is a legacy machine that I play my old games on and that's it. 3 years ago I really thought from that Xbox showcase we were going to have some great games by now. Instead, it's just been a lot of meh
GameStop’s chief financial officer is resigning, in the latest of several executive departures from the video game retailer.
Got mine! Still may get Destiny for the PS4 too though so I can have two characters and two different groups of friends to play with. Prefer Xbox One for chatting, but PS4 is getting the content first. Tough call.
Still dont think a single collectors edition has ever been released thats worth the extra price hike tbh
I typically don't get special editions anymore, they are generally filled with things I don't really care about. Posters/Statues/Soundtracks Etc...this one seems to be along those lines, I think I'll stick with my standard copy that I have preordered....that'll be fine for me.
