Good job Bungie. DestinyGAF, here I come!
Glad I waited.

Destiny: TTK Legendary edition is now digital
- Thread starter EloquentM
- Start date
TTK is $40 digitally for those with the base game and the prior two expansions.
If you have friends on PS4, get it on PS4. If you have friends on Xbox One get it on Xbox One. If you have friends on both/neither, get it on PS4.

I think that's a personal opinion. If you're deciding between the 2, first I'd prioritize friends/possible play buddies.
1) Do your friends play on either or have the potential to play on 1 versus the other? If so, I'd say that outweighs the exclusives.
If that isn't an issue, I'd get ps4. Not only do you get the exclusives, there is a bigger community in DestinyGAF at least. You usually won't have a hard time finding people to do stuff with here for ps4.
In my opinion, the few extra weapons, and extra strike and PvP map, is always worth it. For something I spend a great deal of time with, I like having all the content.
TTK will have 1 extra strike (dungeon), 1 PvP map, and 1 exotic weapon. Along with that is some legendary armor but don't know what that entails. It's not a whole lot on the surface but I think the strike alone is nice.
Will all that being said, if you're huge into PvP, xbox is definitely, harder on average. At least the competitive PvP mode of Trials. This is not to say ps4 has weaker pvpers but on average the teams are harder for Xbox in trials. I do find myself playing with Kids a lot on LFG (DESTINYLFG, a website to look for people to play with).

I'll wait for it to be dirt cheap. Not going to rebuy the base game so I can get all the DLC. Just not worth it.

I wrongly assumed £39.99 for digital TKK was good value but for players of the game since Sept last year there is no value to be found. You're being screwed over. I paid £85 for Destiny and the first 2 DLC and now another £40 for TKK whilst new players get it all for $50 or so? Bungie can go fuck themselves to death.

This happens in any game that has dlc, the dlc will always become cheaper.
You are overreacting in this.
Depends on why you'd want the Xbox One version. If most of your friends are there, definitely get it there. If you prefer that controller, get it there. The extra content on the PS4 version has been mediocre at best except for the Hawkmoon handgun, which you're not guaranteed to get if you have the PS4 version anyway. The Dust Palace strike is awful. The Undying Mind is tedious but much better than Dust Palace.
I've decided I'll just buy the retail taken King legendary edition since I didn't play anything but the vanilla game before trading it in.
So you're ok with paying £39.99 for TTK but not ok that new players can get everything for £59.99?

I prioritized content over friends at launch, and regretted it so much that I rebought it on XB1 last week to play with friends, and I'm now 31. I say go where your friends are.
Fucking yourself to death...that's a visual thought
They're offering a solution so that you don't have to repurchase all the old content. Granted the solution is terrible, but it's still a solution (20 dollars on top of the 40 dollars for the TTK expansion nets you the bonus content).

Watching this all unfold, I can't help but feel like this entire fan base (myself included) is a test group for the next generation of games. It's almost unheard of the way dlc and content is being fed to us inch by inch, and we are happy to soak it up with our wallets and cash.
I guess we really are telling them this is the way we like it. Though it seems quite odd and a little squeamish to me at times when looking at it all at face value.
Really can't help my excitement for TTK all the same lol.

Get the digital Taken King for $40. If you want the extras, they'll be available separate for $20. Which I don't suggest as that's crazy over priced, but that's me.
You and I both.
For $20 I'll most definitely pass. Thanks for the info.

I have the physical game and DB + HoW digitally. I'm just going to buy the legendary physical version assuming it comes with a code for TTK. then hopefully I can just trade in the rest for at least $25 or so.

I'm so confused, I don't know what TO buy.
I have the fucking "year one" digital guardian package already.
None of this seems like a good value.
If I get the standalone TTK DLC, I miss out on a lot of content, it seems.
I'm open to suggestions here.

The solution is to not buy it. I don't think I will regret not being able to do the MC Hammer.

You will miss out on some emotes and class items that(that you will likely find superior replacements for in-game). Don't sweat it. It can certainly be argued that it isn't sgood value, but I figure I will get a couple hundred hours of gameplay for $40. Not bad.

Can't buy it if you already own Destiny digitally
Though if you live in Canada, it is a ripoff anyway since it's $79.99 here

Nah. You get everything but nine cosmetic items.

What are they?
I just think it's fucked that I'm a loyal day-one player, willing to shell out $40 for this expansion, and I get short changed on the content they're giving to other people.
It really does feel like a middle finger up my ass...but I realize that's beating a dead horse at this point.
You won't lose your progress.
txs Guess I will give this a go. especially if dlc comes right away. maybe I can catch up a bit.
You cannot buy the expansion without the base game and both DLC packs.

Yes you can. Its 40 bucks.
You need the previous stuff to play though.

It's three class items, three new dances, and three armor shaders. You'll be able to pay $20 extra if you really want them.
You're not getting short changed, and they're not "giving" them to people. They're included in the $80 TTK collector's edition.
Edit: Also, the standalone $40 TTK has been up for a while, I bought it last month. You have to have the base game and both expansions in order to buy it.
So for someone just now jumping in, it would be best to wait it out until the 15th?

Wait a fucking minute
For $60 you get the base game ($60), all the DLCs($80), and more
But for TTK it's $40
What the fuck is this bullshit pricing

Uhhh early adopter and all that
People who get in first always pay more in damn near every market
40 dollar edition is for owners of everything. No big deal for a game with thousands of hours in game time.

I consider $40 to be a very big deal. How can bungie give it that pricing, is TTK equal to 2/3rds of the Destiny base game? Is it equal to 2/3rds of the legendary edition? No, complete bullshit.
Bungee doesn't set pricing, the publisher does. Blame Activision.
