so could I get a clear answer on whether or not the game will be available at 8 AM EST for digital downloads? if so, whether or not I would get banned for playing before the 9th? an answer from some one at bunger would be swell as well! thanks! happy hunting!
If you preorder digitally on PS4 you can preload it on the 7th.
You preorder on Xbox One it's available to preload right now.
I believe both of these digital versions become playable at 12am PST. For me in Ontario that's 3am(eastern).
If you are picking up a physical copy of the game then you can play it as soon as you get back home. But then you'll be installing it/downloading updates etc so it'll still be a bit of a wait.
I don't know if there's been any word of when the digital version of Destiny will be available to purchase for the 360/PS3 at launch or not.
