There is no way in hell I'm paying £40 for an expansion.
I was never on the hype train for lack of content but seriously, have they really come up with and developed a new set of sub classes, a new enemy class, a new raid boss and everything else besides that in ONE year.
This game has been in dev for a very very long time and the fact that we have to pay such a steep price for it is insulting.
Make the price of the expansion £10 for those who bought the limited editions of the game/season pass etc. And for those that didn't make it £20.
I blame Activision for this, not Bungie. I can imagine a lot of the dev team would have loved to of pushed this material straight through to the community.
Alas, we are being played for fools once again.
[b]EDIT[/b]: I like that this has caused a good discussion. Some are saying that £40/$40 for the dlc is fair price considering the cost to play time ratio and that they wouldn't mind paying it again.
Others are stating that the price is pocket change. I saw somewhere where one player said minimum wage is around $15 per hour. That's actually incredible. The point is that for those who are on less than that will struggle. For instance I'm 22 and only get £6.51 an hour so you can see the issue.
And others feel that we are owed this content. Which is tricky as we don't have the evidence to support it.
EDIT: for those confused as to the wage I'm on im a student in final year working part time to fund my university degree. I'm 22 as well.

Of course its been in development for a long time, and the same with the previous DLC's. But you can bet the idea to make them as purchasable DLC's was thought up before they were developed. Everyone seems to think that they all of a sudden thought "oh let's make those bits DLC and charge more for them!" If you believe that then you're an idiot. DLC has been around for a while now, and I gauruntee they were part of the plan for Destiny from the get go.
