Destiny available for pre-order from GameStop, Best Buy
With the internet ablaze over the official reveal of Destiny, Bungie's new IP, it comes as no surprise that Best Buy and GameStop have already begun taking pre-orders. Both retailers have the game listed for $59.99. GameStop offers slightly more bang for your buck, as their pre-order includes an exclusive two-sided poster. This news seems to legitimize the promotional pre-order materials from Best Buy that leaked last week. There's still a lot to be learned about Destiny and we're a long ways out from a release, but for anyone that feels the need to act now, these stores will likely be happy to help out. Did you know?
