[quote][url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/07/destiny-beta-details-announced-collectors-edition-revealed-and-unboxed-ign-first]Bungie has announced the specific beta timing for its upcoming "shared-world shooter" Destiny. On July 17, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 players can begin playing the beta, which picks up from the beginning of the game and includes a handful of Story missions, a Strike mission, and a selection of PvP Crucible maps. The beta will then go offline for maintenance on Monday, July 21, and return on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on Wednesday, July 23. The beta ends on Sunday, July 27.[/url][/quote]
So now we know. The beta starts on the 17th for Playstation, that we knew, and then on the 23rd it starts for Xbox.
But what is a little shocking is that it ends on the 27. A measly 10 days for Playstation, and 4 days for Xbox. I figured Bungie would want us to test it longer, but i won't complain, it is better than nothing.
We now also know how much the collectors editions will be.
[b][u]Ghost Edition:[/u] $149.99

-A field manual with "handwritten" notes
-An "antique" star chart
-A Guardian folio
-4 postcards from the Golden Age (i.e. Earth before the Darkness decimated it)
-The Destiny Expansion Pass ($34.99 value; good for Expansion I and Expansion II)
-Collector's Edition Digital Content (an in-game Ghost skin, player emblem, and ship skin)
-And the centerpiece: a life-size replica of the Ghost robot, complete with lights and Peter Dinklage dialogue samples.[/quote]
[b][u]Limited Edition: $99.99[/u][/b]
Everything in the Ghost edition, except the replica of the ghost.
Digital Edition: $89.99
[b][u]Expansion pass: $34.99 (for two expansions)[/u] [/b]
In a video in the above article they say that the expansion packs will contain "new armor, weapons, story missions, and new content for every mode. So that means that that we will get new strikes, maps in multiplayer, and new raids. With new missions.
Thoughts fellow forum goers?
