You need to pre-order the game to get in the beta.

Pre order from a retailer, get a bungie.net code (9 digit), put that in your bungie.net account "redeem codes" section (make a bungie.net account if you don't have one already), wait for the actual PS Store beta download code from bungie on the 17, or keep checking you bungie.net account for the download code on the 17.

Or, pre order it through the PS store and you should be able to pre load/install the beta if out side the Americas, mainly EU players have begun pre installing, and it's about 14 gb for the beta.

As for a PC release, I would expect it to be after Destiny 2, when Bungie doesn't have to make 4 versions, PS4/3 & Xbox360/1. So you night be waiting some time for that PC version, but Bungie day is Monday 7/7/14, so you never know.

After playing the Alpha, there was no auto aim that I could see or feel, it has a haloish feel with some COD (ADS), Battlefield/Killzone (large party/public events) mixed in... After my short time with Destiny in the Alpha, I can't go back to COD or any other game. I only pre ordered Destiny during my time in the alpha, just so I could play some more come 7/17... yeah, this game has me in it's grasp, like no other.
Honestly, 30fps will never fell buttery smooth to me. I can accept 30 fps when the game is slower paced (like Killzone) or when there is no other choice. But when it is faster paced I find the combination of 30fps and having to play with a controller in an fps hard to swallow. I am still excited for the game, i'm just leaning to waiting for the inevitable pc release as a result. I however have been playing fps games witha m+k since they first existed so that probably does effect my opinion (though I do find it sad that the first fps ran at a higher fps then 30 [it was 35fps] and the industry has since largely gone backwards in this area).

As for Destiny on pc, I would firstly like to point out there reasoning is bollocks. They could easily hire another company to port the game to pc of which there are many very talented companies that could do this for them. I do view a pc release as inevitable though, they have simply put to much money into this game to not release it on all platforms possible and the potential userbase on pc is more then notable. I do hope the real reason they are not doing a pc release at first is so they can make sure they do it right (well optimized, fov slider, no fps cap etc).

I think that once you start playing the game you will see that there is so much going on that you won't even be looking for the 30/60 fps. Even in the Alpha fps wasn't an issue

I would recommend that you reserve the game and take advantage of the Beta. That way you will be able to get your hands on an actual piece of the game which should in turn give you a good feel for the overall gameplay, controls and visuals.
Well my main complaint with the ps4 is the frame rate. Ghosts didn't hold 60fps, nor did the Tomb Raider rerelease, Killzone, Battlefield 4 (though in this case when the frame rate dropped it was understandable due to the sheer chaos present) or Infamous SS or any other AAA game I have played. To me that is a very bad sign. I understand 30 or 60fps isn't a huge deal to some, and I can understand why. But my hopes for this gen was that we would finally look for playability over shiny graphics (60fps over 30fps), sadly that doesn't look like it will happen on consoles. If anyone does have a beta key spare I would love to try the game out and would love to be proven wrong with 30fps bieng acceptable for me in this game.

Destiny beta is apparently available fore pre-load in Europe and elsewhere to buys of the digital guardian edition.

Bungie still not sorted out the issue of Europe PS4 codes not being able to be selected. Hope that's done by next week.

Regarding 30fps vs. 60fps. I can honestly say hand on heart, playing the Alpha, it literally seemed a non-issue to me. The game ran really great. It's actually what hooked me so badly, and I can NOT WAIT to get into the damn beta, let alone the final game. I also have to say, I never really got the chance to play Halo, but it never really seemed to appeal to me either. Destiny however, whilst seemingly having Halo influence if the talk is to be believed, is actually a very distinct entity in its own right. A true pleasure to have olayed thus far. I thibk beta will only further cement word of mouth.

As far as new IPs go, this one is definitely going to make a splash, and imo all signs point to it being deservedly so. I think that's primarily down to it kind of evolving what we expect from online FPS based titles. Definitely has a lot.in common with borderlands, but retains its own identity.

Calling it Halo meets Borderlands can seem disingenous, primarily because although those franchises are highly regarded, many people may write if off as too 'copy cat' and they really shouldn't.

Much like a movie that takes inspiration from multiple genres and existing movies to craft a fun new world to watch, I think Destiny is looking to.make a splash with its own core identity. Something familar to many people, but feeling fresh and new.

Looking forward to this.. but I don't know why when I saw the first showing of Destiny that I thought it was going to be PS4 only.

That's marketing there for ya.

Where with Call Of Duty you think right away of Xbox, this exact correlation/association is what they are tending to bring over to the consumer.

Destiny PS4

Due to heavy marketing techniques, they want you to incorporate and associate the name Destiny with PS4.

;-)

Pretty sure it's 8 days, because there is a 10 day window that the beta will be out, with 2 days of maintenance.
