Look on the bright side guys, we still have a chance, it's limited to one per customer, and it looks like people were buying more than one, so that means their orders will be canceled and we can steal them.


Exactly, luckily i snagged one and read the 1 order limit before buying. It is legit and i sure do feel lucky. There is no way that was all of the bags. There are probably more left, good luck guys.

I hope the orders from the guy who ordered 8 bags get cancelled <3

Too little too late; Such a stupid decision to not just restock the actual Bungie one and instead make a new one with, when at first glance it's hard to tell when someone's being scammed or not...Totally jsut wasted my day.


These things unfortunately happen. It was done with the best of intentions, to try and not waste your day and to get them available.

Thankfully Halcylon popped by to confirm it. I'm sure Bungie (Urk) will pop by and update the twitter or post to reflect it as well.

Good luck to everyone trying to buy one in the meantime! Hopefully they don't run out too fast ;)


Just...wow. I hope your joking.

I feel bad for those people who have been f5ing all day long, and didn't get the chance to order it when I had the opportunity to buy one because I went on the site to take a look after I was done with Black Ops Zombies.
But I didn't buy one because the shipping is way too expensive.

Well now if you look at the page, sold by: "Gorilla Screen Print" turned into "Bungie"......low blow guys, low blow

  • 06.30.2011 12:19 PM PDT

How did so many people even find the new page? I just don't understand how bungie could do this without any notification. If these guys aren't total a-holes they'd at least have the sense to let us know where to get them.

This is just so retarded I can't even explain it.

Bungie, you can make one heck of a game, but you suck to the high heavens when it comes to things like this. Go shove it.

After hours and hours of staring at Amazon, they go under a random name, list the bags, give us no word, I make a leap of faith, question it, take it back, and get slapped in the face.


Hal posted it was real at 12:01, Revan quoted it a little bit later.

Oh look, they're on the Bungie Store now. Nice job, asswipes. -blam!- you bungie.

I hate to be like this, especially for something that is ultimately a good cause, but trying to not "waste my day" after spending 3 hours staring at the same web page to obtain one is a little bit ridiculous.

Not to mention how easy it is to post on twitter. You can do it from any cell phone, and most iPods. Sorry, I feel that they had the best intentions, but it was ultimately folly.

Why can't I order one? Also, why were the old bags 3 pounds, and the new bags are 4 pounds?

Wanna know why I quote this?

Staying up all night.

Now after 7 am.

I guess my fault in some -blam!- up way. Bungie's for say "10am" mostly though.

Sudden change in account.

Doesn't look legit.

Waits for confirmation.

Waiting was pointless, because they all gone by they time they are confirmed.

Is feeling like he should fly to the US just to bunch a Bungie employee and make them feel the "LOVE" of the community.

The End of this piece of -blam!-.

I'm not an employee so I'm not speaking on behalf of them. I was merely relaying that it was confirmed legit based on Halcylon's post. I was unaware they had already sold out. My apologies on that front. It wasn't meant to come off as rude but rather a legitimate "best wishes."

I'm unsure why they changed the seller, but I have to assume it was with the best of intentions.

Bungie is just a giant d-bag for making people waste hours out of their day and giving no notice.

If anyone has any contact with Lulzsec, tell them to crash the heck out of bungie.net

  • 06.30.2011 12:22 PM PDT

Donuts > all other food

I seriously feel like crying right now.

I think I just lost all respect for Bungie. Not a tweet, an update or anything. Such -blam!- bull -blam!-.

Don't pin blame on Bungie for saying 10 a.m.
They would have released it at 10 if we didnt destroy the Amazon server with all the refreshing.

Perfection!

To the people saying its unfair because they hesitated with the whole Gorilla print thing, you KNEW they were going to sell out in an instant.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance and go for it, yeah it would've been bad if it was a scam, but it looks like it isn't now, so I'm glad I took the chance.

This isn't Bungie's fault, it probably would've been hours before they got their original page updated and working. This was a smart move, and I think it was a better choice to find an alternative way of selling them rather than making the community wait for what might have been a long time.

And who knows, maybe they cut off sales like last time, maybe there are more to come, we'll just have to wait and see.

EDIT: Also, this is Amazon we're talking about. It would be a pretty big deal if they let so many false sales slip through like that.

They probably had to do this in order to even get the bags up for sale today. The amount of traffic that was hitting the store was just too much.

I would assume we broke Amazon's page. They even said we DDOS'd it (whatever that is). Instead of waiting for Amazon to fix it, they put it up under Gorilla.

  • 06.30.2011 12:23 PM PDT

Hallo :D

I have been awake for about 23 hours now just to get ONE swag bag... I will not goto sleep until i get a conformation by bungie that they sold via Gorilla. If they did my life will be forever ruined.

Good intentions are...well, good and all, but would it have killed them to tweet that they were going to switch sellers, or confirmed it as legit or SOMETHING?
