Geoff Keighley says to tune into Spike TV or online at 11 PM ET tomorrow night for an exclusive new look at Destiny on PS4 All Access. But that's not all! Bungie is going to be making a special announcement as well! This announcement seems to be important, so don't miss it!--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 11:50, 13 November 2013 (EST)

So it looks like the beta will be coming to PlayStation platforms first. Since I dislike PlayStation, I'll just wait for it on Xbox.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 13:13, 15 November 2013 (EST)

This has caused such an uproar on the bungie forums. Ace2891 (talk) 18:11, 16 November 2013 (EST)

So I've heard. Having the beta on PlayStation platforms first won't convince me to buy one, though. I have a strong preference towards Xbox.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 12:24, 17 November 2013 (EST)

What puzzles me is that Sony got this exclusivity as a result of distribution and marketing negotiations with Activision. Microsoft could have easily received similar concessions had they chosen to negotiate as Sony had, which they did not. And yet, according to the forums, Bungie is out to screw over XBox owners everywhere... I'm shocked at how many people out there seem to think that either Bungie or Activision would deliberately limit their potential income by alienating half of their player base... Negotiations are after all a 2-way street &, in this case, Microsoft simply didn't push for all of the things that Sony did. I would have thought that was obvious but, apparently, I'm a hopeless optimist...But that's just my .02 Glimmer... - DJenser 10:02, 18 November 2013 (EST)
