Pfft for Collectors, more like extortionists on eBay who are buying multiple Ghost Editions just to resell for a quick buck. And why leave the "Digital Guardian Edition" exclusive to Playstation? If there's any animosity towards Microsoft Bungie, don't take it out on the fans. From last week onward us Xbox Users can ONLY Pre-Order the Standard Edition of the game. Why can't you let us play the game in all it's glory the second it comes out? Totally unfair. I understand you're going for that concept of "This edition is TRULY SUPER DUPER Limited", but please just keep that to something else like that "Bag of Swag" promotion you did a few years back. Not only would producing more copies of the Ghost Edition/ Limited Edition be putting more money in your pockets, but think of it also as compensation for those who unfortunately had their pre-orders canceled due to high demand of these products. That was seriously a low.

Thank you kind Sir! This is exactly how I feel. I however am spending my Ghost edition money on a tv and surround sound so I am totally ok with regular edition for now. I will buy the ghost edition trade ins from Gamestop later this year when certain idiots trade in for COD.
-
Please do not make any Ghost editions. Keep them rare! Make more limited editions and expand the digital versions. But keep ghost rare!
-
I'm sure the eBay jerks are in the minority and most ppl are going to keep their's. It's unfortunate there are ppl like that who ruin it for others
-
They are definitely NOT in the minority. Shortly after the release of the Xbox One, Ebay users were selling "Xbox One with Kinect" for $600 apiece! The market for limited edition products and high-demand merchandise is huge. One can make an easy 25% back on any purchase like that and turn that around to buy more.
-
Idk, I'd be curious to see how many ghost were sold compared to how many have been put up on ebay. I'm pretty sure most ppl bought them to keep but I haven't seen the nmbrs
-
So what obviously your not smart enough to capitalize. If I had ordered one I would've bought multiples too to sell. Nothing wrong in this world with making money. I've done it with collectibles for a awhile now.
-
*you're but maybe you meant to say "you were not smart enough" but obvsly YOUR not smart enuf
-
Then you sir, are a dirtbag. :)
-
No it's being smart. If you were smart and wanted to make money you'd do the same. Think about it. You might come to the realization that you're the idiot.....
-
I understand that it makes sense economically, but it also has a sort of "scam" feeling, if you will. It goes against the flow of the game, as well as the community that supports it. While it would indeed be a few extra bucks to line your pockets, those who do this manage to swindle those few that are going all out for that ghost edition, and dangle it just out of reach for some by increasing the price.
-
No it's called being a cheap jerk.
-
How is it cheap when I can buy more copies than you and take advantage of morons who wait the last minute to try and get a limited edition. Idiot
-
Sure it lines your pocket, but it is full of greed and you should be ashamed. You want extra money? Then work for it, don't go around ripping people out of their hard earned cash and sell something worth three times it's worth just so you can make easy money. These people wouldn't have had any issues even getting a copy at a very reasonable price if people like you wasn't just a bunch of greedy little children.

Videogames belong to the fans, not profiteers with a shitty persona like yourself.

Edited by TheRealNeenja: 8/4/2014 3:47:37 PMIt's because Sony paid for it and Microsoft didn't you hyper-reactionary rumormonger.
-
No need for the insults, I'm merely making a point and did they now, maybe a link to prove me wrong?
-
I feel you being a Microsoft fan is an insult :)
-
Why? You didn't feel the need to post one for your totally unfounded claims. :)
-
Unfounded claims, aside from your claim against the DGE, everything else is fact and many agree with me.
-
You're saying it's fact that Bungie is mad at Microsoft and therefore is punishing their playerbase? Good call, because Bungie is really well known for ignoring their players and being petty. Not to mention making financial decisions based entirely outside of pragmatism.
-
"Bungie if there's any animosity towards Microsoft" Notice how I said IF, doesn't mean I'm outwardly calling them out in such a thing num nuts.
-
Your phrasing, intentional or not, sends the message that [b]this[/b] is the reason that PS4 has more options available for longer periods. The simple fact is this: Activision is the publisher. Activision has games where Microsoft gets better options for ordering. Even if (huge, monumental, "if") Bungie somehow let a dislike for Microsoft color their good financial sense. Actvision wouldn't stand for it, there's just too much money to be made. Sony saw an opportunity, and put up the money to make it happen. It's why Destiny showed up at E3 during the Sony press conference. It's why Sony has early access to minor things in the game. And it's why Destiny is a Sony exclusive in Japan.
-
What you are all forgetting people is that most of the gear is a "TIMED EXCLUSIVE" It doesnt mean that it wont be coming to xbox. It just means that it will take a little bit more time. I as a xbox owner wont let it affect me because when halo was being made it was a complete xbox exclusive, and now that the shoe is on the other foot some people arent liking it when you have to realise its just playing fair.
-
Hats off to you sir when I see comments like yours it makes me feel there is some good in the world I don't know why the Microsoft fan base keep hatin on bungee imagine if the game had become an exclusive for ps4 like halo was for xbox but bungie is still releasing the game whatever the ps4 is getting xbox will just get at a later date that isn't so bad it's not like what they get is game breaking good so why all the hate
-
why thank you kind sir, and it is just because xbox fans thought that bungie would still be microsofts slave and because they arent .....they became butthurt
