I've also ordered silicone covers and thumb grips from Amazon so when the new DS4s arrive, they'll not wear as quick.

The Last of Us MP is also keeping me occupied and I have platinums to complete. Also, life in general keeps me busy.

Slightly off topic, but what happened to your dualshocks?

Preorderd this yesterday - notice still available for order on UK Amazon but not US Amazon.

Anybody else getting this?

[Mavrick]

Got the Ghost Edition myself, but yeah it sold out in the US pretty fast. Not surprised it's still available here though, we're a tiny market compared to the US.

And bam, it's back in stock on .com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00LH6CBA8/

Limited Edition is back in stock on Amazon.com

Well, I fell victim to the analogue sticks issue people were reporting about excessive wear and tear. They practically are torn and disintegrating at this moment. I've sent one off, and that had a better analogue rubber left on it, but the R2 trigger spring broke or something, so became unusable. I've sent that off today and when it comes back via replacement i'll send the other off.

I've heard the new batches had less QC issues but silicone covers and thumb grips to be on the safe side.

@Jafo, lol, yeah, I know everybody has a life but some people are a bit more free with time and get bored rather than able to pass the time

I find it odd that that would be the case given BB was cancelling orders and issuing a pretty hefty credit to those they refunded

not sure what the deal is or if these will be fulfilled but better to get the order in now and cancel later if need be

[Havok83]

Good. Its refreshing to see a Limited Edition, actually limited

Beautiful... and it actually sets the tone real well

Paul McCartney is releasing his Destiny "theme song" as a single soon.

We knew this was going to be the case, but some held out hope it would not

Items have been added and removed. New features toggled. Although there’s no single monumental change, the sum of the tweaks leaves characters from the Beta Build in strange shape that would be confusing at best, broken at worst.

Perfect trailer, better than 99% of anything Hollywood puts out these days! I just want to play it now

Kinda glad our Beta characters won't transfer over, everyone gets to start off on the same page.

I'm still not sure if I want to be a Warlock or a Titan. Titan definately has the cooler gear, and the Hulk smash is pretty cool, but I did like the extra air time and control you got with Warlock (except for in MP where you could hang in the air a bit too long making you a sitting duck.) and it's special was nice since you could aim it. Nothing better than launching yourself in to the air and raining down on a group of unsuspecting victims trying to capture B on Shores of Time

Hunter, Blade dancer for me.

The blade dance super recharges after a kill, plus vanish equals That's the weird glowing outline of the hunter in the gif.

The tweaks leaving beta chars broken etc. seems weird.

I hope we still get to keep items in the vault and crucible marks grimoire etc.

Still, even if we all start back at the beginning its a level playing ground for all.with the changes they've made. I'm sure retail release stats for weapons etc. will have to be re-calculated in light of tweaks made and the damage to enemies.

Man, i'm still so pumped and the waits something I hope passes soon.

Everything is back to zero but at least we know how to rank up faster that someone who didn't play the beta

Yeah, I just read the entire thing via link.

I'm planning on only going to the crucible once I have my weapons in order. Want to earn the 100 crucible marks per week, and then spend rest of the time farming out strikes etc.

I'm going to use the bounties board once I hit the level requirement to boost up experience gain too.

Think it'll all be a fresh experience though again like Alpha to Beta kind of was with the gameplay teaks to guns, spinmetal exchange and introduction of story missions. Bring on the 9th I say. I envisage myself probably spending the most amount of time i've ever spent playing any console game. Heck, i've got 100+ hours under my belt just in Alpha and Beta. Release should easily be another 150+.

Warlock has a Glide upgrade that turns his aerial glide into an instant-teleport blink effect. We couldn't unlock it in the beta, but it was definitely there in the ability screen.

That just makes the choice even harder!

All of the classes have things I really like, I would love to level up all three but no matter how much I love the game I don't think I'd be able to sink in that much time.

Whatever I pick I'm sure I'll end up regretting it down the line wishing I chose another

The hunter looks like the weakest in pvp.
