Oh, okay. Their web site still says that the PS4 is what will start on the 7/17.

Where is that? I've only been able to find DeeJ's Destiny beta date announcement on Bungie.net, and it doesn't mention any specific console.

They've always said the beta would be for all four consoles. To wit:

No argument there. My statement wasn't clear. I meant that from DeeJ's comment it sounded like July 17th would be the start date for all four consoles.

If people don't have something to do, they'll find something to do... Which includes breaking out of the map...

Epic Blunder, Bungie. Preorder Cancelled.

This was fun. I love that Sparrow trick we ended up using to edge our way into the forbidden zone. Summon Sparrow, exit toward barrier, Summon another Sparrow before you're pushed out, etc. I wish we had time to try it elsewhere.

Occasionally, the Postmaster also has random Engrams for you to pick up. Not sure what the criteria is to get these, but it may actually be random.

I think the Postmaster saves items dropped by enemies (maybe just in Strikes) that you didn't manage to pickup, hence the "Lost Items". Also, I didn't think it was that uncommon to find regular items (not just engrams) dropped by enemies. I found a few good items that way.

Also, his mention of the July 17th beta start date (11:43 in the video) certainly seemed to suggest that it was for all consoles, but maybe that's just my wishful thinking. Here's the quote:

Be there for the beta on July 17th. Anybody who pre-orders a game on any one of those consoles is welcome to play.

They've always said the beta would be for all four consoles. To wit:

Destiny is officially available for pre-order on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. The Beta will also support all four platforms. Your Destiny Beta Code will grant you access to one of these platforms.

July 17th it will start on the PS4, with the Xboxen "soon after."

Have you seen the Titan's knee bash super?!? I saw it for the first time in Angry Joe's latest interview with Deej at E3. Here's the video, the super is around the 6:22 mark

That Angry Joe interview left me feeling anything but angry! Glad to hear confirmation straight from Bungie of the exclusives just being timed.

yessir, grenades and thunderfists, other than that I was punching them out like LL Cool J

I hope we can set up a slappers only custom game.

But seriously, that sounds awesome.

As someone who played only Titan in the Alpha, you will not be disappointed. I had a glitch happen a few times where I could not pick up ammo. I was completely out of it for a while. I survived on my fist alone, and it was good.

....though given my penchant for punching holes though Titans, I may spend a lot of cuddly time with the Titans in Destiny.

Think of Destiny Titans as just having satchel charges too, but in their fists.

There has been no mention of a "season pass", so that puts into question how long of a wait it will be between DLC packs, how many there will be, and what they will consist of. Given that Bungie supposedly has free reins over Destiny, one would imagine that this is why we haven't heard anything regarading DLC...

Expansion pack-style downloadable content (DLC), code named "Comet," will be released every other year

Oh... and glad to inspire! :)
