    Destiny exclusives worth buying a PS4?

    I own an Xbox One and was wondering if the Destiny exclusives are worth the high price of buying a PS4. I know I'm going to buy one eventually but I'm sure I can get a better deal on Black Friday. Do you think it's worth paying the higher price now or should I wait?

    If you already have an XBO, then you should probably wait. Bungee is already talking about DLC content forthcoming to all platforms, so if you run out of stuff to do, there's more in the works. I doubt the smidgen of PS4 exclusive gameplay will really make the extra expense worth it. Better to put that money toward the new DLC. Having said this, I am getting it on the PS4 with one of those spiffy white consoles. I do not have an XBO, so this will be my first foray into this new generation.

    I've never seen any console exclusive content in a multi console game that was anything all that amazing, let alone worth buying a console for it.

    It's just armor and a couple multiplayer maps. No big deal. However, it's nice to have both. I have both and still got the xbox one version because that's where my clan is. Just get it for the system you have the most friends on.

    PS4 has many things going for it. The Destiny exclusives are definitely not on top of that list. So getting a PS4 only for them seems pretty odd.

    Yep, I agree with the others. The content alone is not worth getting another system for.

    They already said that the "exclusive" content is timed until next year so you'll likely see it being sold as DLC on Xbone so in short, not worth getting a PS4 just for that.

    Destiny co-op is worth buying a PS4, if more of your friends already own the system. The exclusive content is going to be a drop in the bucket when compared to the entire game.

    Thanks everyone for the help. You've helped me decide that I'll just play on the Xbox One and wait for a good deal on a PS4. The only exclusive I want to play on PS4 is No Man's Sky and that doesn't come out until next year.

    I have the Destiny Limited Edition preordered with release date shipping on Amazon but I might cancel that and just get the Digital version so I can preload and play at midnight.

    My gamertag is Smeff69 if anybody wants a friend to play with. I promise I won't be a dick.

    P.S. If anyone hears about a good deal on a PS4 please let me know.

    Oops, didn't notice that you made this same thread twice.

    No, the PS4 exclusive DLC definitely doesn't justify the purchase of a new console. There are plenty of valid reasons to by a PS4, but this DLC isn't one of them:

    It is not even an exclusive. Destiny is worth it for the white PS4, though. =P

    I dunno. A ship named the OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE is pretty rad. It could only be topped by MAXIMUM GREED.

    Why would you pay $500 for some extra skins and early maps?

    You should buy a PS4.... cause it is the better system. Not cause it has Destiny exclusives which will wind up on the Xbone sooner or later anyway.
