Pretty sure 20 is the cap. Just read an article by a Bungie developer saying that once you hit 20 the game opens up to endgame material which is way different than anything else experienced in story mode.

In the video I mentioned from IGN he was talking about level 22 strikes, and raids starting at level 25 . I think you get to level 20 by exp and after that its using motes of light and armor to increase level.

Has it been mentioned that the 6 player raid can only be done with people on your friends list :eek:

Ok I'm normally the 1st to complain about playing with randoms but this is nuts, I'b lucky to have 2 or 3 pal on at the same time that might want to help out , you then fill a lobby with randons and kick any who don't respond to voice chat.

That's silly. Should be the same system as for the strike in the Beta where it matches you up with randomers if you're alone.

Would it be worthwhile having a separate thread for best value Ghost editions, Limited Edition, Game Bundles with Consoles? There's a lot of info here but maybe collectively we could all save some good coinage closer to 09/09/2014

Physical copy from Amazon, won't matter if it doesn't arrive on the day as I won't be available to play until the 15th. Vanilla version for me.

Pre-ordered on amazon. Don't care if I get it on the day either but would like it for the weekend probably definately.

Penn · 08-08-2014 9:45am

Preordered standard edition from Gamestop. Won't bother with the midnight launch (or their stupid Level 3 loyalty "get in 90 minutes early for pizza and games"), will just go up the next morning.

Normally gotten all games I pre order on Amazon day of release, sometimes a day or two early.

What was the quoted price? When I checked in there I was quoted €70, absolutely baulked and smiled. Don't know why I go in there, knowing in advance that it will always be a rip.

I think they said €70 too, but I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes €75 on the day.

It's €65 on the PS3 and 360 and €75 on the PS4 and the One. I asked about the PC version yesterday and was told it would most likely be €60. It's a good €20 cheaper for the normal edition on amazon and €30 cheaper for the special edition. Gamestop are really pulling the piss when it comes to pricing, more so than ever before, there's been a number of titles for which they charged more than the RRP and the worst thing is that they are actively getting involved in the production of titles.

Jesus....

€50 for me on Amazon and probably have it launch day.

Are people fearful that if they buy online they won't have it launch day or what's the story?

I've made it an active habbit to pre-order games on Amazon WELL in advance. They typically put titles up for well below RRP, and when you pre-order, you get it at the lowest price it ever goes too, while your on pre-order.

I got the latest Batman for €36 euro on PS3, and had it the day before general release, and GTA5 I got for like €40 and delivered day of launch.

You only get charged once the title ships, so you can cancel typically up until a few days before release.

I alwyas keep a wishlist populated with stuff, check in on pricing after maybe checking a review or two, and then decide if I will cancel or not.

Alien Isolation, Batman and The Division sitting on my pre-order list alongside Destiny.

*Edit

Just did a check of my Amazon pre-orders there. Alien Isolation is showing now as unpriced, I had it pre-orders at the original £45 listing. The Division has gone up to £59, but I pre-ordered at £50. Batman there at £45. The Order £49.

Build a PC and you'll get them even cheaper. I got Origins for €16 on release day and a copy of Watchdogs for €12 earlier this week. It's rare that I would preorder a game but if I do it's always with amazon or VGP where you can generally get two new games for only slightly more than one over here. Gamestop to me is a store for parents and those with no idea how the internet works, how else can you explain people paying way over the odds for titles and then trading in their game for a quarter what Gamestop resell it at.

That can be part of it alright. I know that Tuesday morning, I can go to Gamestop and get the game. With Amazon, putting in an Irish address gives 11-13 Sept. delivery date. Putting in a Parcel Motel address gives 9th, but then you don't know if it'll be where you want to pick it up that same day. I've seen in plenty of threads when games are released where people are essentially waiting to see if their game will be delivered, and sometimes it's not. I'm pretty sure I've even seen some instances of the game not coming on the Friday and the following Monday being a Bank Holiday meaning they don't get the game until the following Tuesday.

There's just an element of convenience to it. That being said, I might try the Parcel Motel route for Madden or something and try it out. Want to start ordering games online.

I've preordered games through Amazon using parcel motel twice and both times Amazon sent them so they would arrive at parcel motel on release day and this was with free first class delivery. As I'm in Limerick, I wouldn't get them til the next day . I have the standard edition pre ordered in Gamestop since October but am half tempted to just buy it in Amazon and save at least €15.

The only other way is seeing as Gamestop had a trade in Game, pay €9.99 for last of us deal last week, they might have something similar for destiny.
