We’ve Got A Couple Extra Destiny Beta Codes…What To Do?

Update: Okay, we've picked the two winners:

Solid Fantasy
Mr Bubbles IGR

It was a very scientific process of randomly scrolling through the comments, closing my eyes and pointing. 😉 Anywho, if these two fine members could just email me at bdutka[at]psxextreme.com, they'll get their Destiny beta codes.

Original Story:

We got three codes so we can test out the upcoming Destiny beta. Thing is, we really only need one.

This means we've got two extra codes, and we've already confirmed that it's okay to give 'em away…

Hmm, what should we do? How about this: Follow us on Twitter , Like us on Facebook , and then pop a comment into this article. Just tell us you did what we asked, say hi or whatever, and that's it. We'll pick two individuals at random from the Comment thread, and we'll update the article tomorrow afternoon with the winners.

Of course, if you've pre-ordered the game in question, you're already in the beta. There are other ways of getting in as well, but few will be easier than this. 😉

Bungie Warns Gamers To Look Out For Destiny Beta Scams

Ben-Dutka 4 Comments

Where there is the potential for scams, unfortunately, you will always find scammers.

So, be careful not to get taken in. Bungie has revealed that participating retailers (like Amazon) will offer Destiny beta codes when customers pre-order the anticipated title.

But a few scam websites have popped up since, promising access to the upcoming beta test. Bungie made it plain on their Facebook page that you shouldn't let these cheaters get away with anything; just be smart about it:

"Don't let someone exploit your enthusiasm. The only way to guarantee a Beta code is to acquire one from a participating retailer. Accept no substitutes! Bogus websites are starting to spring up."

They did add that you might locate legitimate beta codes "elsewhere on the Internet," but just make sure that the source is trustworthy. That can be tricky, though, so we at PSXE recommend you keep it simple, and just pre-order Destiny from a retailer that will give you a code. The beta test will begin early next year on the PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 and Xbox One, but we're not yet sure which parts of the game we'll be testing.

Doesn't really matter, though, 'cuz it's always awesome when we get a chance to play potentially bad-ass games early.
