So now it goes:
$40 - The Taken King + VIP Rewards
$60 - The Taken King + Digital CE Upgrade Pack + VIP Rewards
$80 - The Taken King Collector's Edition + VIP Rewards
I already have a preorder in for the $80 one, as I want the physical loot as well, but for those going digital... This was the right movie. GG, Bungie.

Funny thing is, making the CE content a separate transaction will probably net them less sales than putting up a DLC Veterans edition for $60.
I know I'm much more likely to get caught up in the hype and preorder for $60 than I am to buy the stuff separately for $20 after launch.

It's about perceived value

So we can now wear 2 class items? Emotes have their own slot too, cool. And there are more than just the CE ones.

It's all about the physical CE. Glad I got mine reserved, and I won't cancel it after Bungie has kowtowed to us.
Yup, we've already seen the Sunbreakers hammer for Titans. And it explains why ghosts were moved up.

Yeah, I don't see the point. At all. Value is subjective but surely this is a bit much for what's offered?

Honestly.... If Amazon had the physical CE or anyone other than gamestop for that matter I would have picked it up.
$20 is alot, especially considering that $20 will probably be $30 in AUS and £20 for some shaders and emotes.
Regardless, this is the destiny community now:

So if I preordered the $40 one I can get the $20 upgrade anytime before 9/15 right? I'm confused lol

$20 for the cosmetic stuff..? Feel like I'm playing some mobile game where I'm paying $20 bucks to dress up my character. Should have been $10 MAX.
Here's the full layout. I'm guessing they're also going to announce a Year 2 Season Pass later down the road for more $$$.

No wonder they got this out quick because man, the Year 1 stuff, is no different than what's already been shown and I don't see how it's "better". How is 1 shader better than 3? How is 0 emotes better 3?
Why it took a week is mystifying when they don't even have the final solution. I get it takes time to work with MS & Sony to get store options, but they were torched for days and days.
This update is "fine" and closer to what should have been at the beginning.

Thank you! So yea looking at the whole Red Bull promotion.....that's just hella dumb to me. Are you really telling me I have to buy a Red Bull to get access to a quest? I mean I know it'll be available to everyone in january but still that just doesn't sit right with me.

Nah, Legendary edition was $60 and that included everything but the digital CE stuff.

Anyone remember this spreadsheet of the different watchdogs editions/bonuses? This is what this expansion is turning into.

Honestly I was expecting it to be $10 for the cosmetic stuff. $20 is a bit too high. (Especially since the collectors edition that's $80 offers the whole vanilla game+2 expansions+the expansion, making the value for the cosmetic stuff about $0 if you count the full game+ expansions as being a $40 value.)
It's worse than the infamous Horse armor. At least that was just $2.50. This is $20 for some shaders most will never use, 3 emotes, and 3 class items that will get replace a day or two later. Horse armor was bad but this is taking it a bit far. This really should have been $10 tops, preferrebly $5.

They should just announce a cash shop. Make it like, $1.99 for each shader/emote/class item. Not only would they earn more good will, but more people would probably buy it.
But this is bungie, nothing can be that simple.
THE ORDER WAS GIVEN, BUT BUNGIE YOU HAVE FAILED.

I bet they try and charge £20 for the upgrade.
They honestly don't get it. They didn't agree. Deej with his smart assed ebay comment last week.
So, for TTK + the 'upgrade' it will cost (probably) £60
£60 to $$$'s = $94.
Really Bungie?

Hey, peeps!
I'm really interested in playing this after the E3 showing, but I'm not currently on the market for the expansions. Maybe when they lower in price...
Still, I want to give this game a try. Which is the better version: The PS3 one, or the 360?
Thanks!

I just cant, but I want it
Mgs5 comes out 2 weeks before the taken king. I'm spending 100 bucks in September already.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
We'll be able to get:
- Three Exotic Class Items with XP Bonuses
- Three Armor Shaders
- Three Class Specific Emotes
for 20$, right?

So the cosmetic stuff is worth half of the content of The Taken King?

That all digital future.
Neither - the last-gen versions are awful and are holding the current-gen versions back.
Buy either a PS4 or an Xbox One and wait until the Taken King comes out and buy the Legendary edition with all the DLC together.
Yeah, I love the game but that right there is some filthy pricing. US$10 at most (I'd prefer something like US$8), and especially when compared to the US$40 pricing for the TTK DLC.

Yep anytime. Agreed its upsetting. I would be fine with double XP or whatever but a quest? Mehh I tend not to judge things until I know more information to be "fair" as possible (still rubs me in a wrong way especially with the wording used). Until I know what the "quest" is, could be "go through this story map backwards and kill X" or kill X, Y, Z then beep bop boo.
On the bright side I tend to drink that shitty drink late at night so will def give away codes to people that want it.
Since my university's cafe shuts down ~10 pm and I can no longer get my coffee fix late at night
