      • This really sucks... I was so excited to play it. But it turns out it cannot be installed onto an external hard drive. I'm sorry I hope they can fix this.

      • It's because the game cant be downloaded/installed on flash drives, has to be installed on the main system hard drive which really sucks for people with 4gb or lower hard drives.

        • I know how it feels I'm having the same issue. From reading comments on Reddit, it appears that the Destiny Beta requires you to run it off of your hard drive. So chances are you're using a USB. If you don't have enough memory on your Hard Drive, delete game you don't play. If you have a small Hard Drive that's only like 3 or 4 gigs (which is what I have) then you need to upgrade that.

          • You have to download to your hard drive not a flash drive.

          • I was excited to try the beta only to be disappointed by this black screen problem. Bungie did not state that we needed a HDD on the Pre order page or when I got my beta key! I am not buying an overpriced HDD when my USB drives work just fine! Way to screw us out of the Beta! Pre order cancelled!!!

            • Yeah I cancelled my Pre-Order Waste of time. It pisses me off that we can't use an external drive for this.

              • Apparently the problem is storage. If you use an external storage (no matter the size) like a USB. You CANT play!!! At all. it's not compatible and the site has it stated in a few places but they're kind of hard to find. You need a specifically Xbox 360 Hard Drive to download otherwise it basically corrupts and you cant use the code. Same thing here. Now im kinda pissed.
