It seems as though Sony’s PSN servers are taking a bit of a hit from the huge numbers of gamers excited to log-in and download the Destiny Beta as it is due to launch on the Sony PlayStation platforms in just 30 minutes. Sony have described the PSN service as currently ‘Intermittently available’.

The PlayStation Network is currently experiencing high volume and users may experience issues when connecting to the service. We will update you with any changes that may occur in regards to this issue. Thank you for your patience. If you would like to receive a notice when PSN is fully restored, be sure to follow the official PlayStation Twitter account and our support Twitter account, @AskPlayStation.

We’re sure that Sony will ensure the servers are up and running efficiently on or soon after the official launch of the Destiny Beta, so for those of you eager to cash in on your pre-order bonus access today, if you do have trouble logging into PSN to play the Beta, keep yourself updated with the Sony Twitter accounts linked above.
