Distance.

Clouds in the Distance.

They roll with thunderous anticipation.

They beckon the coming of the storm.

They whisper the winds may be quiet so that the distance may have its tune.

The song is a feeling that soon there will be a flood, and action must be met.

We call it the silence before the storm.

Only 5.6gb for the PS3... Beta here in less than an hour... :)

That was a pretty painless transition I'd say.

Got the beta downloading in 2 minutes.

Have they learned nothing from the Sim City and Diablo 3 launches?

Everybody should have been able to preload and spread the strain. Period.

Anyway, downloading, but PSN is buckling.

Wooooooooo join me friends!

I rarely agree with you, but THIS.

I am not looking forward to spending a huge portion of my first day downloading a huge file, alongside a ton of other people, on Microsoft's pathetically slow Xbox Live.

On my PC? Couple gb is no problem. Done in an hour or two.
On Xbox Live? May as well just let it run overnight, when the waiting won't be an irritation.

http://Bungie.net is experiencing heavy traffic right now. Beta codes will be emailed shortly. Updates to follow!

Nobody but nobody should be telling us that they are experiencing heavy traffic.

Let people preload from 24hrs in advance, and don't email us a code that lets us ask for a code and then have the place were we ask buckle under the strain.

While there are many professionals doing their jobs in support of this, and I'm sure they're probably more upset than you that anyone is experiencing these issues; let us not forget that almost nobody on the user end has slapped down heavy cash for this basically free experience that's being provided.

So give it a second to get back from space.

I suspect that they aren't upset - they probably want this sort of heavy load on their systems. You can't say this was unexpected or that this sort of things hasn't happened before.

But if Bungie wants to see how things: stand up, buckle, or break in these initial hours then that is their prerogative.

It's just annoying to be told that they are suffering from heavy traffic. Still, what could they say? They are fighting of an infestation of mutant Mogwai?

I started playing right around 11:15 PST, but I am also playing on the PS3. Less crowded I think than the PS4 side of things.
