The wait is not quite over

It’s the ultimate first world problem: you’ve extracted your pre-release copy of Activision’s mega shooter Destiny from its sleek shrink wrap, but the servers aren’t yet prepared for you to play online, transforming your brand new Blu-ray into something of an overpriced drinks coaster – after all, who wants to play Bungie’s latest offline? Shudder.

The good news is that the servers are set to go live at 12:00PM BST (07:00AM EDT / 04:00AM PDT) on Monday, 8th September – unless, of course, our leathery friends the Lizard Squad decide to dismantle our fun by deploying one of those torrid PlayStation Network DDoS attacks. We’re giving them ideas, aren’t we?

In truth, it’s not like Sony’s servers are going to withstand the onslaught of connections anyway – this is the most pre-ordered new intellectual property in the history of the video game universe remember. All the same, this means that you shouldn’t expect our review until late next week – and that goes for any other decent website, too.
