Destiny beta codes are good for three download keys

Bring your mates.

While the Destiny beta doesn't kick off until 17th July on PlayStation and 23rd July on Xbox, most users are able to at least redeem their download keys from the Destiny beta registration site. Upon doing this, they were greeted by a pleasant surprise: each beta code comes with three download keys, so you can bring along two friends who haven't pre-ordered or otherwise acquired this early access (Thanks, DualShockers.)

Bungie noted that this means you'll have "enough to field a full Fireteam on the console of your choosing!"
