As an added incentive to pre-order, players gained early access to the Vanguard Armory which included nine weapons, three helmets and an emblem.[3] According to the Bungie, these items are attainable through gameplay for those that chose not to pre-order.[4]
Supply Issues[]
The Destiny Ghost Edition became a highly sought after product from the moment it was announced and quickly sold out across nearly all available retailers.[5][6] Due to a large quantity of pre-orders, multiple retailers began experiencing supply shortages and as a result, some pre-orders were cancelled; Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart[7] are among some of those retailers.
Shortly after, pre-ordered copies of the Destiny Ghost Edition began selling on auction websites, such as eBay, with bids starting at $300 and exceeding $400.[8] Some completed auctions have gone for $650 and even as high as $1,025 USD.[8]
