      - I mainly missed the 'or', so pretty much everyone here should be good to get those things. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 09:37 13

        Whatever you say, Hand Cannon Hater Xboner. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 09:45 11
        
        Hand cannons are crutches for inferior players. -- nm - David Sep 8, 09:49 10
        
        I think you have it backwards. - groiny Sep 8, 09:56 6
        
        Less shots that do far too much damage. -- nm - David Sep 8, 09:58 5
        
        the damage is not the issue, the range is. - groiny Sep 8, 10:04 2
        
        If the range gets nerfed badly enough, I might have to switch to scouts for Crucible. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 10:05 1
        
        Hand Cannon should be slightly longer range than shotty, not as far as scout rifle. - groiny Sep 8, 10:07
        
        Someone's jelly that they suck with HCs... -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 10:00 1
        
        I'm great with *every* weapon. That's why I don't need the hand cannon crutch. -- nm - David Sep 8, 10:09
        
        You spelled Thorn wrong. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 09:50 2
        
        yes, Thorn is a crutch as much as Gally is. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 09:58 1

- I just did it from the XBox One. - David Sep 8, 09:24 13
  - If you are doing the download, that is the only place I would think. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 09:25 12
    - I've also read that Gamestop in the US is giving you $40 store credit when you trade in the Destiny disc to put toward the $80 Legendary Edition. - Shaun Sep 8, 09:28 11
      - Damn it. I held off on pushing the button until about 5 minutes ago. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 09:30 7

        But you get Suros!!! - Spawn Sep 8, 09:41 5
        
        All digital preorders get the SUROS pack iirc. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 09:44 4
        
        generally, none of those guns are particularly exciting. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 09:45 3
        
        True, but they might instantly become your best weapons depending on where they sit for base damage. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 09:46 2
        
        I have to think that the 365 damage weapons will be decent for at least a little while. - groiny Sep 8, 09:57 1
        
        I wonder what 'level' those ones are going to scale to though. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 09:59
      - I bought the 360 download version originally, so I'm out on that. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 8, 09:28 2

- *recalibrates his stress scale* -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 09:10 1
  - i think it evens out.. +1 for being homeless, carrying all my stuff, -1 for not having to deal with commute and crappy neighbors. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 09:19
