I cancelled my Amazon pre-order that I've had since last year, and I got the Digital Guardian Edition on PSN. Pre-loaded and ready for Tuesday! Too bad I have to work. Lame.

 

AB, you should check out Datto's youtube channel for Destiny coverage. His videos are pretty good. I'm sure you can get a good idea of the co-op gameplay and classes from his videos.

Well I'm definitely excited to get started. I decided to get the Digital Guardian Edition, so I am downloaded and ready to go, just waiting for Bungie to flip the switch Monday night.

The beta gave me enough of a taste to know that I will get plenty of hours in this game. Hopefully, I can recruit a good group of players to work through the campaign.

trooper, did you download list or "related items" for Destiny include anything about the DLC pass? I can see the vanguard armory in the "related items" list for Destiny, but I don't see the DLC pass anywhere.

it does list the two expansion packs that will be part of that dlc pass, they just can't be queued for download obviously. It lists those things on the product page before going through the order process and when I go back to that page, it reflects that I already own it.

About to pull the trigger on the limited edition at ?62 as I'll get the season pass.

 

Doing a bit of reading and the co-op intrigues me as people are saying Halo/Borderlands cross.

 

Should I do it? Also can someone give me a brief rundown of the classes, want to see if my playstyle would fit one better than another. Thanks

 

 

 

 

These are the three classes, each has two subclasses I believe which give different abilities.

Glad I pre-ordered and pre-downloaded this on Xbox One, the definitive edition. I am so excited for tomorrow!

 

this is not intended as flame bait but the Xbox One is not the Definitive edition the PS4 version is. or at least as stated by bungie it is anyway.

I would be interested to see why you think that? PS4 has the COD like DLC exclusives, probably map packs first and no doubt when DF do an analysis even with both at 1080p the PS4 will probably run better.

 

Like it or not, Destiny does have a lot going for it on the PS4.

 

I'm deciding between Titan or Warlock.

I think that because of my preference for the controller, the online service, the parity graphics, and of course....the DLC is only time exclusive, so really, it's the one to get.

Don't worry, yours is the better version :laugh:

I'm sure you guys will race to make a post with the DF analysis.

So its your preferred version, not some generalization. Everyone gets to decide for themselves.

stopped by the store on my way home from work and picked up my release group sticker (kind of like a boarding pass for a plane) i will show up a few minutes before midnight and still be one of the first 10 people to get mine. Also snagged a lanyard, bracelet an a few posters, i wonder if they will have more tonight.

The opening is unchanged from the beta, which is annoying because it just drops you into the game, but good because the opening video is awesome (In the "inspires awe" meaning).

Funny "bug", because I had previously redeemed codes posted here, along with the codes in the box, when I got to the city I got given a bunch of duplicate stuff. Meaning I now have 3 ghost casings, 2 sparrows, 2 arcadia jump ships and another limited jumpship, along with 3 emblems.

    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale

      By Steven P. · Posted

      The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8. In short, you have everything you need to get started. All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).

This flash deal expires on July 2. Next up is the highest savings on the A7 Max series of Mini PC in the Spring Sale. The GEEKOM [2026 Edition] A7 MAX with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, 16GB DDR5, and 1TB SSD. Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU Speed: 5.2 GHz Cache Size: 24 MB Graphics Card Description: Integrated Graphics Coprocessor: AMD Radeon 780M Memory Storage Capacity: 16GB DDR5 SSD: 1 TB We reviewed this Mini PC back in January, and praised it for its modern internals like a dedicated NPU and DDR5 memory; as such, it is more than capable of keeping up with today's offerings of Mini PC on the market.
