In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Well, I bought mine at like around 9:45 AM PST.

Afternoon.

Anyway, the reason I think it'll be released at like 4:00 PST is because if I were Bungie, I'd want to reach out to a different time zone, that way it'll make things more fair for everybody and the same people that bought before don't buy again. Plus, Bungie is still open at 4:00 PST

"When I eat pretzels I imagine myself as a giant eating tree trunks."

They were re-stocked today?

What the hell I thought they were coming tomorrow at 12:00 EST

If you can't trust yourself, then don't trust anyone.

Im going to guess around 1:00 EST (10:00 AM PST).

If it was 4:00pm PST, that would mean it would be 12am over here (UK) so it wouldn't be ideal for everyone.

This is the problems timezones cause, if it were 2:00pm PST that would make it slightly fairer but then people in the US will still be at school.

The timezones are too big of a gap to make it fair for everyone.

Summer School. If you work in a cubicle you could have a chance, but mostly it's going to be the teens off school with nothing else to do that will buy them.

Yup. I'm one of them.

Except for the fact that the first batch of 350 went on sale at about 6PM UK time, giving more chances for you guys to buy the bags (as work and school are usually finished at that time). All in all: European users were at home when the bags went up, and they had a bigger window to snag as there were more bags to snag then.
