Destiny is going to go live at the same time all around the world (not the same numeric hour, the exact same TIME) that time is going to be 12am PDT. This is not the US getting the game first, this is the whole world getting the game at the exact same time.

  • What about midnight launches in Europe etc, what's the point if they can't play it

  • They will have it fully installed before anyone else, and be able to start playing right when midnight strikes on the west coast of the US. The midnight release in the UK is still needed as it will only be what? 8 or 9am? Meaning the game stores still won't be open. It wouldn't be fair if the game came out earlier in the UK simply because of the rotation an curvature of the earth... This game encompasses the whole solar system... And its an always online game, and just like all MMOs (this isn't exactly but it shares the same social structure ish) the servers will go live for everyone all at the same time.

  • You realise the stores will be open at midnight for a midnight launch in the uk, sorry if I read your comment wrong but the stores will already be open

  • Stores in the US close after the midnight launch is over and don't reopen till 9 or 10am Destiny servers go live at like 8 am UK time, so if they function like US stores if you don't go to midnight release you won't get the game and be ready to play till a good 2 hours after servers go live.

    But players will want to play once they get the game, also what about Australia which would be the 10th

  • Its gonna function the same way the Alpha and Beta did, the servers will go live at midnight PST, at that time everyone will have access to the game.

  • I don't think your getting this concept, everyone is getting the game at the same time, regardless of time zone, the most recent instance of this happening that I can remember was elder scrolls online, that released at the same time everywhere... The way this game is structured it would be unfair if Australia essentially got game a whole day earlier (based on real time not time zones)
