I won't believe anything until Bungie tells me. But if true, 1 year and 4 days ain't so bad of a wait....

Yup, that got me, too. The fine print on Amazon says this, though:

"Activision has announced Destiny but the release date is not confirmed. June 30, 2014 is a placeholder release date."

That would be roughly consistent with bungie hitting alpha soon, and a beta early next year.

It also makes sense with an original release date of 2013, but having that date pushed back due to the inclusion of next gen consoles into the mix.

Finally, I don't think Activision wants to cannibalize the COD market. A summer release makes sense.

I'd expect late summer or fall at the earliest, honestly.

I've seen a lot of incredulous reactions on the net to Bungie's statement "We're in pre-alpha."

From what I can tell, though, it makes sense: they've spent years working on the systems that will power the game, and they're just now integrating those systems together where they can actually play through the game as an almost complete piece.

With the enormous team they have assembled & their powerful new content creation tools, they could very well finish in time for a release a year from now.

Personally, I'm hoping for a summer release because next year will be my last "summer"--I'll be done with grad school the year after that.

I don't know what your field is, but I'm jealous - once classes were done (less than two years in), my graduate experience was year-round. :) (In fact, summers were BUSIER for me than winters, simply because of my thesis topic and the logistics of data collection.)

I'm in computer science. So far this summer has been much busier because of a full-time internship and the associated commute.

But if I plan next summer right, I'll have tons of free time, no money to spend, and lots of Destiny to play, right? :)

I'm planning for a Holiday 2014 release. Anything earlier is gravy.

Anyone who believes -- with any level of certainty -- that the game will be released before October 2014 is a fool. That's a Schooly D guarantee, and you can take that to the bank.

Once upon a time, I got an email from a deposed prince who promised to share his fortune with me, but only if I made a small investment that would enable him to make a daring withdrawal from the banks in his war-torn country. That promise was never kept. On that day, I learned a valuable lesson about believing everything that is emailed to me. I learned it again when those pills didn't work. It's exactly the same.

I remember a Nigerian prince asking for money some he could withdraw pills, then I would get the pills or money or both. He claimed they enhanced males, and luckily I was one. I never go the pills, but I did get a magic sack full of Minotaurs and outdated portable audio players.

You can make sense all you want, but you can't stop me from speculating wildly!

I am a multimillionaire today because I helped out that prince. I am writing this post from the side of my lake-sized pool filled with highly-trained seals - one of them is holding the keyboard I'm typing on.

So I guess we should expect Destiny before next July, huh?
