There is an exclusive in game item for playing in the BETA on the 26th-July-2014

Console selection should be available from tomorrow 10-July-2014. I'll stick up more detail when I find out.

I have 2 codes and might not be able to play as I'm moving on friday and probs wont have internet sorted by then

I preordered this game on amazon way way back on 10th October last year for the xbox one and never have received anything about a beta code. Should I have got something by now then?

I should think so mate, although it may be amazon being shite

Did you get a code to enter on the Bungie site to register for the BETA?

I had nothing. No confirmation of order email, nothing. To be fair, there is nothing in item description promising beta access but I am a bit miffed that bungie have a link for amazon to pre order now.
I have emailed them anyway seeing as bungie clearly have them shown as participating in beta codes.

Its only about four days long the beta?

Yep. Well more like four and a half days as it starts a 18:00 on the wednesday and ends the following Monday morning. Bungie have said everyone will get a special item to use in the full game who plays the BETA on the 26th too.

Had a lovely email from amazon with a new beta code and instructions how to use it. Top stuff

Cool that's great news. I've ordered the wallet emptying Ghost Edition so I'm hoping I like what I see in the BETA now  should probably be getting a second BETA code now too.

Thanks Gabhlan. I be getting the limited edition if I can. So many other games comes out around the same time I want to get too. I be broke by Xmas time  

I'm usually a pretty selective buyer. I've still only got two full retail titles on next Gen. I'd rather buy one good game and then play it for a 1000 hours e.g. Mass Effect-3 then own a load of games that I barely ever go on.

Though in saying that I'm a magpie if I see a shiny deal, so I've still got a stack of 360 games I've not taken out of the boxes in direct contradiction to the above statement   It's all generally single player stuff though and I'd just rather be playing Online. Co-Op if possible.

I am the opposite. I enjoy video games. I don't care for achievement to be honest. Can't be bothered to play them again on harder level unless the game is really good.

I know this is great that they give us a beta but I am gonna give this a miss. I know this sounds mad but I am proper looking forward to this game and somat in me thinks that a beta kinda ruins the excitement of the new game coming and makes you want it more

or I may just be an idiot! lolz

Looking forward to this the alpha was good will be nice to get online with some games den folk

Funny enough I am in the same boat as you. If I play the beta. It might ruin some of the excitement for me. Well Iam idiot number 2 lol.

For me I want to play the BETA to see if I like the game. Also BETA never ruined the excitement for the likes or Reach, Gears-3 or Titanfall it actually made me more excited to play the main game as it gave a taste of how good it was going to be. Especially Titanfall, as I would have been hard pressed to fork out for that without getting to try it first.

A short BETA is good a long BETA is a bit counter productive as you'll play it too much so I'm glad the BETA is short, as that way I get to enjoy it for one decent weekend then I can look forward to the Full experience in September. Alternately I'll find it Meh... and then I'll know to cancel the Uberfan edition I've got on pre-order I'd imagine the odds are against this though.

You can now choose your Console at the following link. Each BETA code will get three download codes so you and two friends can join the BETA using your code

Nice find there Gabhlan.

redeemed my 2 codes yesterday. Means I'll end up with 6 beta keys. If anyone wants one let me know and I'll pm people when I get them. Got 4 to spare as I'm giving one to a guy at work.

Watching ign playing the beta on twitch right now. This game looks so fun

Yeah I also been watching this on Twitch too. Reminds me a cross of Defiance, Borderlands and Halo.

do I share the code I got from amazon with two friends then?

Nice one Gab, although that link you posted doesnt work at the moment, you need to sign in to you Bungie account, go to profile and then codes and it will give you the option, Xbox One Global

May nick one of the codes of FBG to see what this is like
