We don't manage the PS Store. You should ask them.
Whenever you gain access to Destiny on 9/9, you can play. Can't make it clearer than that.

sorry Deej, but 'whenever' is not clear. 'Whenever' could be 12:01am here in Australia, which is well before your midnight, or 12:01am PST, in which case I could have a disc spinning in my PS4 with no access to servers. Will i be playing at 12:01am GMT+10 on sept 9? Yes or No? If no, then I'll go to work on the 9th and wait for my Ghost edition to arrive then take my days off. If yes, then I'll also preorder the Digital Guardian Edition AND take the 9th 10th 11th & probably forever off. This is why i, and others, need to know for sure.

If Bungie servers operate like my work servers, they are alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll locallized. Around the globe. Screw your time zones. Screw your updates and everything else. In bungalow hills, Australia or no-mans-land, iceland. On 9/9, at 00:00 midnight. You can go into Destiny. If it is setup around the local time zones which... last I checked... most servers are setup that way for information transport security purposes... you will have access then. If they are not, well... give it a few minutes and retry because the only server setups I've ever seen which utilized settings otherwise was a honey pot server trying to catch some guys jacking into the system. Just wait till the download date arrives, download the game, load it up on 9/9 whenever after midnight.

I will donate $20 to the charity of your choosing if you would clarify that answer. What time do the Destiny servers go online for public access? I live in the Central Time Zone. If I have my disc in my PS4 and the game installed at midnight 9/9 Central time, will I be able to access the Destiny servers and play?
-
Servers do not give a rats flying -blam!- about time zone differences in terms of where the hardware is at versus you. On 9/9, at midnight 00:00, you should have access. Forget the CST, GMT, PST, ect. and if by some miracle of a chance you do not? Give it a few minutes, try again, and if not THEN, then the servers wee setup for a simultaneous launch time which is 12 PST.
-
So your response is meaningless. You said yourself there could be a planned simultaneous launch. That's what I'm asking.
-
There is one way. "As soon as it's midnight in your local timezone, and you have a disc version or a pre-loaded digital version, you can start playing Destiny immediately." "To clarify even more: This will mean that YES, East Coast players will be playing Destiny 3 hours sooner than West Coast players, etc etc...." That would seem a heck of a lot clearer to everyone...
-
But you said your servers do not know time? Will they be on before 12am pst?
-
I could be wrong, but I took his statement as maybe their servers will be up early. Like maybe sometime the preceding day, Aug 8th or something. I could be wrong though.

Thank you DeeJ!
-
Thanks. If the PS store makes me wait till 3am I will definitely take my business else ware in the future.
-
But the PSN lets you pre-load the game on 9/7 if you preorder.....I'm pretty sure you'll have access before your friends get back from Gamestop...
-
Thats what i initially thought! Ahhhh the confusion! Thanks for clearing it up!
-
Oh now. I think you could be more clear. I'm east coast - can I play at midnight EST? It's a yes or no. Do you guys not know? :) --- PS - just bustin' 'your chops. Can't wait to become legend. Thanks Deej and bungie. But about that time frame.... Ok, ok... lol
-
Much better thank you.
-
Deej, you are the man! Thank you for responding directly...much appreciated.
