Buy Last-Gen, Get Next-Gen FREE

Basically the only conditions is that you would have to buy the game digitally, and can't be used cross platform family.

So, serious question for teh Bungie:

I would love to do this, but I already pre-ordered/pre-loaded digital for Xbox One. Am I SOL?

Yeah, the offer is an upgrade from last to current gen.

Can I cancel a pre-order?

Yes, you can cancel your pre-order by contacting Customer Support before the game is released.

Second time I've cancelled a pre-order for this game, but I can't pass up the chance to have it on both my Xbox 360 and Xbox One for no extra money.

Thanks Bungie! Maybe, since I pre-loaded on my Xbox One, I won't even have to download it again..

Should be Next Gen to Last Gen as well.

I can live with this news but I would have spent the same amount of money either way and been a much happier camper.

Kind of feel like I'm being punished for buying Xbox Next Gen Digital just two days ago.

I'm missing sales left, right and centre this week. What's up for next week? Buy Destiny and get a XB1 for free?

As stated earlier in this thread, cancel your xbone preorder and go pick up a physical 360 version on Tuesday. Or order it on Amazon.

You mean digital right? Physical doesn't allow upgrades.

That wouldn't make sense.

Does that mean Ghost / Limited edition purchasers will then need to order a digital copy as well to transfer it to next-gen console?

Yes they would need to. It specifically says on the page it is only for digital versions of the game. Your Ghost / Limited edition content will transfer as well as the season pass they come with, but since you don't own a disc-free version of the game you have to buy a digital version for it to transfer the game to the next gen console.

Actually, yes it does. From the bottom of the page on the orginal link:

Q. When I buy the Destiny Limited Edition or Destiny Ghost Edition on Xbox 360, will I also be able to download the Xbox One version of the Expansion Pass that comes with it for free?

Yes, when you buy the Destiny Limited Edition or Destiny Ghost Edition on Xbox 360 and redeem the Expansion Pass by January 15, 2015, you will also be able to download it on Xbox One by doing the following:

- Log into your Xbox 360 and redeem the token for the Destiny Expansion Pass on Xbox Live on or before January 15, 2015.
- Log into your Xbox One using the same Microsoft Account (Xbox Live Account) used to redeem the Destiny Expansion Pass on Xbox 360.
- Navigate to the Expansion Pass within the Destiny content page in the Xbox Store.
- Add the item to your download queue and wait for the download to complete.

A physical or digital Xbox One version of the Destiny game will be required to play this content on Xbox One, sold separately.

Expansion Pass content (which includes Expansions I and II) will only be available for full download once released.

So you WOULD have to buy the game again, just not the expansion packs.

I didn't get a limited or ghost edition, I just think that sounds backwards.

Also there's no real way to order the x360 digital version yet, which while it might be a Microsoft related issue, just seems strange.

Even if that were correct, it's dumb for MS/Sony to do it that way.

They have to field all of these cancellations and re-orders for no good reason.

Dumb, dumb, dumb (not you).

It's cool but being cross platform screwed me again. I want physical anyways, but it'd be nice to get the DLC at least.

Wasn't true for last-gen, but this gen, I'm finding that having Digital is way better unless you plan to either lend your games to more than one person, or you want to take a game back to the store when you're done.

I'd rather buy a game once and have it around ad infinitum than find it scratched and needing to buy it again... With the lower prices of bigger storage space coming at a blistering pace, I can see physical format being a thing of the past...

I just hope PS4 allows external storage soon. I prefer doing that to replacing the hard drive.

Yeah, I see the positive of having it digital, though long term I wouldn't quite count it being available forever on the off chance Xbox/Activision dies or shuts down servers. Yes it's unlikely with Destiny but the thought is always there.

Though Destiny being online only kills this concern, my super past full 360 HDD makes the choice for me as far as current gen digital goes whenever possible.

Would Ghost editions get to carry their content from last gen to current gen, by the way? Haven't seen it mentioned if your LE content is tied to the specific platform or is unlocked via a Bungie.net code (ie, could buy the Ghost 360 edition, and get the content on my PS3, PS4, and 360 as well)

This is a really good idea. It could be even better by being valid forever, and by allowing you mail in and trade your disc version. Still, hard to complain. Hopefully this will help alleviate some of the player scattering in the long run.

The page implies you can get a digital version of Destiny for Xbox 360, but I can't seem to track down any way to actually order this edition. Anybody know anything about this?

360 doesn't allow digital pre-orders. I am 99% confident it will be available on September 9th in the 360 store.

Sheesh. I knew you couldn't preload games on the 360, but I didn't think they'd be as backwards as to bar pre-ordering, too. (Or even fail to make it clear ahead of time that you can download the game at launch.)

You've never been able to digitally pre-order on the 360. I remember talking to a 360 team member about it ages ago, and they were against the idea.

I'mma guess the One team wasn't against it.

It's our best indication that one exists so far. We'll know for sure on launch day. See this thread.

How come people spending $60 on a standard digital copy basically get the game twice but those of us spending $150 on the exclusive Ghost Edition... don't?

Yeah, it's a rhetorical questions but there's something really screwed up with game selling and distribution right now. I don't have or plan to have a next-gen console for a while and I know I'm going to love the heck out of the Ghost Edition pack-ins... but it boggles my mind that the (presumably) most loyal customers get the short end of the stick in some ways. Worse it's announced less than a week before launch? They can start taking pre-orders a good year in advance but can't let us know about these great offers until four days out?!

I get it. Well, some of it. There's a ton going on behind the scenes with the next gen launches and refinements. Microsoft didn't even have preloading until recently. Both platforms' online services have been adding features and benefits like crazy. I guess I'm just looking forward to next time when all of this stuff has settled down. Digital distribution has the potential to change game buying vastly for the better but so far it's kinda a cluttered mess...

On this I can almost guarantee it was a very recent decision.

Physical products are worth more.

If you were to lose the password for their XBL/PSN account, the entire game library is lost forever. You cannot lend it out, you cannot resell it, you cannot trade it in.

With a physical disc you can use it on any number of accounts, you can lend it out, sell it or trade it.

You can also get the joy of holding the case, looking at your reflection in the shiney side of the disc and smelling the manual. Priceless.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Has it been confirmed that Destiny has a manual?

I just did it. I didn't think it was possible in that it said NONREFUNDABLE in big letters when I bought it back in July, but a brief wait on the phone and some choice words with the Sony rep was all it took.

I promptly pre-ordered the PS3 version, then reordered the PS4. Right now it looks like both are in my queue and all is well (fingers crossed).

I wasn't planning on necessarily buying it for the PS3, but free is free.

For the record, the digital edition of the x360 version of the game will be available on launch day, there's just no preorder or preloading available on that platform.

Good enough. I work at home normally so I can start the download when it goes up, and it'll probably be done soon enough for me to turn over and start the (now free) XBone download as well.
