This was the convo I just had with a sony customer service person. Alirio B.: Hi, my name is Alirio B.. How may I help you? Chris D: Hello. I just had a question about the Destiny launch. Im sure you have been asked this before, but Im confused on when I will be able to play the game. I pre-ordered it from PSN, first time for me to ever do that by the way. I was under the assumption that I would be able to play at 12 midnight at whatever time zone Im in, but now I have been reading that Sony is not allowing anyone to play who preordered it digitally until 12am pst, which is 2am for me. Alirio B.: I see, Christopher. I'd be happy to look into this for you today. Chris D: Thanks Alirio B.: Yes, it is. Alirio B.: You need to wait until 12 PST. Chris D: Why is that? Especially when the marketing campaign for Sony and Destiny have been "Play it First". I dont think Ill be playing it first if I keep my preorder with Sony. I could go to Gamestop and pick it up at midnight and play 2 hrs before I could with my digital copy. Alirio B.: I so understand your frustration, but that the way Bunge want it to be.. Chris D: Thats not according to Bungie. Chris D: They have come out and said via twitter that any one who has an issue with this needs to take it up with Sony Chris D: I know Im not the only one with the issue, and yea its only 2 hrs. Its not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but Sony pushed the digital editions and pre-download with Destiny, heck Destiny was the first game to go up there for pre-order and early download. So its hard for me accept the fact that Bungie is the one telling Sony to do this. Alirio B.: I do apologize for the inconvenience that's the information we have. Chris D: Lol good answer

Bungie servers will allow guardins to play as soon as it is September 9th somewhere in the world, When you play is between you and your retailer
