Thanks for all of this hard work, but I'm afraid that it simply doesn't matter (trust me, I really wish it did)!! Basically, even though the Bungie servers are on and ready, the retailers are the ones with the final say of when we get to play. Those of us who purchased the Digital Guardian edition (myself included), won't get to sign on to the Bungie server until 12AM PST. Essentially, think of PSN as a "retailer" and they are holding off access to Bungie's servers until 12 AM PST. Now, if you're on the east coast or somewhere other than PST and you go out and buy the physical disk, theoretically you can sing on to Bungie's servers before 12 AM PST. HOWEVER! This is only true if PSN doesn't lock out both digital and physical game access to Bungie's servers until 12AM PST. I'm thinking that unfortunately, this is the case. In other words, whether you buy digital or physical, you won't be able to access Bungie's servers until 12AM PST. I could be wrong here, so community, please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have enough info or have been paying enough attention to the xb1 side of things, so again, someone with more info would give you a better answer/explanation. Hope this helps, _Ohuigin
