That is pretty much incorrect. It is smart to pre-order. (At least at GameStop).
Pre-orders are 100% refundable. So if a game looks "eh" or pretty good, pre order it for the bonus. Wait for the reviews to come out ... if the game is good, pick it up! If not, get your money back or pre order something else.
That's not what he is saying. Destiny has to always be connected online. With the PS4, you can just jump right into the game without loading or anything.
