Midnight Release Question - Pacific Time vs. Eastern Time...Digital vs. Hard Copy
1) If I live in central time and if I get the hard copy at midnight release will I be able to play at midnight central time or will I have to wait until 2am to play?
2) If I live in central time and if I get the digital copy (preloaded) will I be able to play at midnight central time or will I have to wait until 2am to play?
3) Why does gamestops website say 9am central standard time on 9/9 to be able to play destiny's digital download copy?
4) If I do pick the game up at midnight or have it downloaded at midnight central time will I only be able to play campaign then and not PvP?
Sorry if this is confusing but my god I am used to picking up a game at midnight and playing right away so this is not consistent with other midnight (central time) releases.

2 RepliesOkay, I'm going to state that I am in the same boat as you first. I'm on central time and I was debating between my already preordered hard copy with gamestop and the digital copy. After 3 days I decided to go with the digital and it is downloading as I'm typing this. Here's why. Hard copy you can play at midnight central time and digital you have to wait till 2am buttttt by the time you get back from gamestop and download it, you will probably only have to wait 30 or 40 mins before it's 2am. It takes a while to sit in line, driving back, and then the extra long download. Now why wait an extra 30 mins? You get 2 discounted dlcs and if you only got the standalone version, you actually have the chance to get some content from the ghost edition. You also get all of the stuff that you would have gotten with your standalone hard copy. Plus everything is already downloaded so...no typing in codes before you get to play. I was at first going to stick with the hard copy but now it seems like the better option is digital. Hope this helps!
