Devoted fans may recall that during last week’s PlayStation E3 Presentation, Sony VP Adam Boyes mentioned that Bungie’s upcoming shooter Destiny will come with a raft of exclusive content for gamers on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Now that the trade show hubbub has died down a bit, the PlayStation Blog has finally shared some particulars of what that content will actually look like.

For the gear-heads among you (which–let’s be real–is all of you), Sony-loyal guardians will be treated to an exclusive set of armor for each class: the Manifold Seeker for Warlocks, Vanir for Titans, and Argus for Hunters. Two special weapons will also be available: the Monte Carlo, an assault rifle designed for nasty, close-range combat, and the intricately-etched Hawkmoon hand cannon for extra style points. Lastly three new ships will be available for piloting: the Aurora Wake, Crypt Hammer, and Outrageous Fortune, geared towards Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters, respectively.

You will be able to test the new swag out in an exclusive co-op Strike in the dilapidated Dust Palace skyscraper, among the dunes of Mars, wherein you and two companions track a Cabal extraction team and square off against sinister Psion Flayers. The Exodus Blue Competitive Multiplayer Map is a mid-sized Crucible arena perfect for Control and Skirmish matches set on the long-defunct ship Exodus Blue.

Destiny is set for release on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC on September 9, 2014.

Gaming on consoles can be a lot of fun, and while some gaming PCs can be a lot more powerful, they also tend to be a lot more expensive. Of course, if you're on the PlayStation 4 or the PlayStation 5, then you're likely going to need to grab yourself a PlayStation Plus subscription service from Sony directly. That allows you to play multiplayer games and access online servers and, depending on your subscription, also gives you access to a library of free games every month, so you don't have to spend your money on extra games except for titles that don't appear on PS Plus on release.

Also, while you're here, be sure to check out these excellent PS5 game deals and PlayStation deals that include some great games and accessories you can get for a great price.
What is PlayStation Plus?
Along with online multiplayer and other in-game network features, a PlayStation Plus Essential membership grants you access to exclusive discounts and other promotions. Perhaps the most notable benefit of PlayStation Plus is that every month, Sony gives subscribers one PlayStation 5 and two PlayStation 4 games that are free to download. You have one month to add these free PlayStation Plus games to your library.
