Actually there are a few out there. First off there are the PS4 Developer copies that I talked about on another thread. Basically just about the first 600 PS4 discs of Destiny that Sony printed went to staff at Bungie, as each employee got one two weeks before the retail release so they could play it. It was basically just a disc with no case and they were numbered in black ink. These copies did not come in a case, but a colored blank sleeve such as green, yellow, and red.
A few days before the open house event at Bungie last Monday, the employees were asked to turn them back in (wasn't sure if they were required to, I can't imagine that they were made to do so) and Bungie decided to hand them out as a thank you to those who were waiting in line for the open house. Towards the end of the tour, an employee was holding a big box and handed people one. Some people such as myself opted to have the front of the disc signed, others didn't. Some, of course went right home and played since they were giving them out as early as 1pm the day before the release. I don't own a PS4 so I haven't played it.
But with regards to the actual release copy being signed, at the private launch party for Bungie and Activision employees (and guests that were invited) there was a silent auction for a children's charity at the event. Bungie had donated some of the very first copies of the finished retail games (one Ghost Edition, one Premium Edition, and one Standard Edition all for the PS4) in three separate auctions. All of the items were signed by a massive amount of Bungie Destiny developers.
A few other items I saw for auction was a full size poster that was signed by a bunch of the developers, another auction was a game guide with a copy of the Newsweek Destiny special edition magazine. Those were also signed by a bunch of the Bungie staff too. I saw an auction for an XBOX One Day One Edition (unsigned), a Sony PS4 Destiny boxed console (unsure if it was signed). There were some conceptual art prints that were limited 1/1 that were unsigned for auction, one of them quite large in size. There were a few pairs of a high end headset with special Destiny custom-made interchangeable ear pieces too and a few non-Destiny related items too. All proceeds went to support the charity. So there are a few signed copies of the game technically out there.....
