A Warm Holiday Wish from Bungie

@24: They’re codes to redeem on bungie.net to get into the Beta. They are definitely not PSN codes, you’re right about that. Bungie will most likely be sending out PSN codes themselves once the Beta is about to go live, for people to grab off PSN. With the Beta so far out, there’s no way they could attach PSN codes to something that doesn’t exist yet.

@ INFIDEL_JIHAD: You know, if you’ve got a spare $5 sitting around, you can pre-order the game at your local game store, and get a code to participate in the beta next spring. Then, if you decide the game is just not for you, you can cancel your pre-order to get your $5 back. Obviously it’ll be a bit rough and not indicative of the full release version, but you’ll be able to get a taste of the gameplay and how it controls. From what I’ve been reading, it’s more of a co-op story shooter, with optional “large player-count areas” you can jump into or avoid completely. Not an MMO in the normal sense. Bungie is calling it a “shared world shooter”, which I think describes it pretty well. Either way, happy holidays to you. :)
