So disaster has struck and I need to do a work dinner on the night of the BETA, this has resulted in me taking the following day off so I can catch up.

Let me know if anyone is planning on being around on Wednesday the 19th.

TP, my good man, I should be about on Wednesday. Will happily run through the content/try to get you killed constantly. thumbup

Hoping that the game lives up to the hype. Have a bad feeling it isn't going to hit the spot- kinda like a sequel to a surprisingly good film not quite reaching the same heights (fk you Matrix Reloaded hehe ). Suppose I'm basing this off my understanding that they've already cut some suggested changes- we were supposed to be able to walk from the "tower" into the world and missions (at least Earth missions) a la The Division but this seems to have been cut. So what are we left with? A re-skinned Tower. Hmmmmmmmm. Not a big deal I accept but what else will not be delivered?

I've figured out the no reward for daily event problem I think. It looks like the Destiny 'day' resets at 10am so, I was actually doing my last event of the day, not my first!

Good stuff Singh, looking forward to many trip mine fails panic smashes glorious victories.

I am trying not to get too hyped for this but even with the amount of stuff dropped it still looks good, although after watching the 4K 60 FPS PC gameplay a platform switch is tempting but that would mean building a gaming rig, changing monitors in the study and probably pissing my wife off massively and then just using PS4 anyway as thats where everyone I know plays.

Bring on the 18th.

Hardy Ha!

Actually, I'll have you know, that "my" cabinet has just been activated for fibre. biggrin

So there I was. Calling Sky. Expecting 60mb at least. Finally able to stream Netflix 4K. Finally. FINALLY. party

"Yes, sir, you can get fibre now. Let me run a line test to give you the expected speeds...

...

...

"12-14mb... but you'll probably not get that in the house given the distance to the cabinet. We can guarantee 8.5mb though"

Allegedly Beta for D2 will be available to pre-download from 6pm UK time this evening, so there's no excuse for not jumping on the moment the Beta drops at 6pm on Tuesday!

4K streaming probably ain't going to happen but, Netflix HD streams perfectly over about 10mb.

Welcome to the 21st Century dude, better late than never thumbup

It is- I find HDR to be a bigger deal than 4k in all honesty. As for Netflix, I'm looking forward to seeing what the fuss is about- have earmarked House of Cards and that one with the creepy kids. Happy to hear suggestions. smile

Heard that the download is 68GB.

Anyone received their Beta download code email yet?

I've registered for the Beta online, but haven't received the code you enter into the PS4 yet.

Breaking Bad is excellent if you haven't seen it, as is the spin off Better Call Saul.

The first season of Fargo is worth a watch too.

Appreciated, thanks thumbup

Basing this from a PSN message from Kennyboyy (hehe) but if you've pre-ordered via PSN, you should be able to start downloading automatically from 6pm tonight.

Singh, check out this thread: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Be prepared to wade through quite a bit of dross to find the good stuff but, it is on there somewhere. Breaking Bad really is 'must watch' TV. House of Cards also excellent, especially the first couple of seasons. Loads of other stuff too, check out 'Narcos'. Lots of popcorn movies too although, mostly a few years old though ('cos licensing innit)

Did someone say it is a 68gb download?!!! Hmmm, I think I'd better start deciding what to delete first...

The full Destiny 2 game is alleged to be 68Gb, the beta won't be anywhere near that I wouldn't have thought. PS4 will be switched on tonight though to try a pick up the pre-load if it happens (the download whilst in standby doesn't work reliably for me, PS4 seems to disconnect from wifi even when I have it set so that it shouldn't)

How have you started this? Just switched my PS on and started Destiny expecting a download but opened as normal.

It has done a system update.
