I knew literally nothing about this game until today, now I'm taking in all the info and watching every second of gameplay. I think I'll jump on it day 1.

Tis a slippery slope.

I wonder how many copies were sold from that commercial ad during the game yesterday.

Just turned on my PS4 from standby and saw the Destiny logo there. Awesome! Well done Sony on introducing preloading. Ready to go in 3+ days.

Doubt it. but it depend on MS "return" policy for digital games. They charge you once you pre-order and download it.

Solidice is right. Digital sales are final, so once you "pre-order" you purchase it at that time.

Bungie Weekly Update - 09/05/2014

What can players expect after they achieve Level 20?

Destiny really begins at Level 20. Afterwards, each player’s power is displayed as their Light Level – this is the yellow number in their nameplate post-20 in the Tower. The way to increase that Level? Get better gear.

Strikes and Crucible matches can award powerful gear and currencies which you’ll use to buy Legendary (purple) gear from the Tower. Players can choose to champion one of our three Factions (New Monarchy, Dead Orbit, or Future War Cult) in both cooperative and competitive activities. This allows them to rank up and purchase gear from a particular Faction.

Which Faction you champion is related to what kind of build you’re focusing on. If you’re Warlock looking to focus on Discipline and Strength, you’ll be looking at the Dead Orbit Legendary Set and coveting it. If you’re looking for a great Legendary Hand Cannon you might champion the Vanguard, or maybe the Future War Cult, depending on which piece tempts you most.

Additionally, post-Level 20, players will unlock the Heroic mode progressions for Daily Heroic Story Chapters and Weekly Heroic Strikes. For example, in the Weekly Heroic Strikes, there are three recommended Light Levels and the first one, 22, will feature two modifiers.

Tell us more about these Heroic Strikes!

A weekly rotation of very challenging Heroic Strikes (and the pinnacle Nightfall Strike) use high-level enemies and global modifiers to create challenges that require skill, gear, and sometimes creative character builds to beat.

Modifiers are one of the ways we tweak content we’ve already built. The first modifier is called “Heroic.” Heroic leverages the more difficult version of the encounters, but the second modifier is where we really start to challenge players. Take a modifier like Arc Burn – which increases all damage dealt by Arc Damage by 300%. If you’re a Bladedancer Hunter, you’re about to be an even more destructive force, and everyone else in your Fireteam is going to be scrambling for Arc weapons. But, if the enemies you’re facing also use Arc weapons, they will cut through you like paper.

We give a very similar treatment to the Daily Heroic Story Chapter, which are featured on a daily basis with bonus rewards.

When should I expect to give the Vault of Glass a run?

The Vault of Glass can be broken into beginning on September 16th, assuming you’ve achieved level 25. This allows all of our players a week to dive into the world, start to make their Guardians and prepare for what lies behind a giant door on Venus.

Honestly, what's the advantage of a digital copy? Seems to me that it just saves you the 5 minutes of going to the store but then later down the road you have nothing to trade it for store credit?

For some people a store isn't 5 minutes away, personally I have to drive 20 miles to the nearest place. For others, that $7.32 (being generous) you get for trading it in in a year is worth the ease of having the game a couple button taps away for something that will be played almost daily.
