Some day i will tell my grandkids "Back in my day, we had to drive 20 miles uphill just to download a game."

You forgot to say "both ways!" You always have to say uphill both ways!

It'd be convenient if ahead of next Thursday we could get a news post breaking down the download size for each platform.

I know I have plenty of drive space, but the download will, like you, knock most of a day off. Some of my friends though? Download size could be a deal breaker. It'd be nice to know ahead of time.

Yeah, I live out in the country with with data caps. Playing doesn't use too much data, but I always have to drive to town and use my brother in law's internet to download games and updates.

So I have a digital pre-order for Destiny and today I turned my PS4 to see that the Destiny Beta was added to my downloads.

It appears to download a 179MB file which I am assuming is just some core data for the game and the rest of it will be added in via an update later.

As it was downloading, it said that the size of the game was 13.2GB, but once the download had finished it said the total size was 14.3GB on the game's content screen.

I should note that when I try to run it I get the error message CE-34632-8 which I'm assuming is related to licencing/not being playable yet.
