E3 starts in 3 days time and I hope you are all as excited as we are right now. Zoe is already in America, visiting her mom in Arizona before heading to LA, and Darryn leaves the blistering cold of Port Elizabeth for the heat of LA on Saturday.
Our coverage this year is supported by Destiny; the upcoming open-world shooter from Bungie and Activsion. We are expecting the official dates for the Beta to be announced at the Sony press conference on Monday or at least some time during E3 and the easiest way to get into the beta is to follow this link and pre-order Destiny.
Right now the only guaranteed way to get into the Destiny beta is to pre-order the game so go do that, especially since they have so kindly helped get us to LA to bring you the very best coverage.
Our coverage has also been partly supported by PlayStation South Africa which works out really well since the PlayStation 4 is the only next gen console currently available for South Africa and is also the lead platform for Destiny. So if you don’t yet have a PlayStation 4 make sure you go buy one now.
We’ve also been supplied ultra-light, ultra-thin and ultra-powerful Ultrabooks by the lovely people at Acer. Yes, they’ve given us two rather beautiful Acer Aspire S7’s to help us cover E3. Yes, we have to give them back. No, it won’t be easy for them to pry them out of our hands.
So that’s it, all the festivities kick off next week and we will be bringing you up-to-the-minute news, interviews and video diaries not to mention random reviews of LA food trucks and Mexicans singing through the night to soothe Darryn’s savage soul.
Keep up-to-date by following us on twitter here and following us on Facebook That’s it.. don’t forget to pre-order Destiny for the PlayStation 4. Remember, you’ll be able to watch all of the conferences right here on Lazygamer.net, plus follow our liveblogs and coverage from each of them. Oh yes, pre-order Destiny.
PS: Who wants to guess what the marketing drive is for this coverage?

Goeie ding dat nie Xbox nie borg is nie anders sal Gavin die borg geld eers volgende jaar ontvang het.
Julle moet net foto neem van Darryn wat die Acer gebruik. Nadat hulle ‘n man in sy onderbroek en met sy Vlermuis-man masker aan het wat prikkellende prentjies van jonge dames soek is ek doodseker hulle sal sê “julle kan dit maar hou”

I feel you are pushing the Xbox One a little hard here Gavin. For starters, it isn’t available in South Africa yet, and the recent and rather obvious trolling article on new Apps (of which only 2.7 will work in SA) doesn’t make this any easier to read. Shame on you, SHAME!

Pretty horrid how they’ve not even had interviews with Microsoft and done their best to cover Xbox One here. Clearly they’re in the pockets of Sony. VILE! FOR SHAME!

Good luck Darryn and Zoe, look forward to following you peeps and reading what’s going down! Are you going to use Darryns Gopro to do a daily round up?

Sorry, how does the BT Games pre-ordering process work? The price is still TBA, so do they charge you anything upfront before sending you a beta code?
Tiaan Pat
June 6, 2014 at 13:49
You pre-order and when they get a price they send you an email. No mess no fuss. They use this method to see how many people are interested and how many to order. About the beta code, i am not sure how that works. You would probably need to pay the deposit for that. You can email BT-Games at btgames.orders@btonline.co.za and just ask them. The normally reply fast.

you just pre-order the game no need to put money down. i got a code from them but it did not work. emailed them about that and they never emailed back about the problem.
