Current guardians who already own both current expansions are getting the shaft with this new content available this fall. I know this has been said hundreds of times already, but I think to get the point across we need to be repetitive to make our voices heard.
Current Guardians with both Current expansions don't have an option to purchase all exclusive in game content with the current taken king options. The only choice to get the exclusive emotes, shader and class items along with the collectible physical items is for players to shell out another $40.00 so that we can receive all the content we've already paid for and used over the past year.
We want an option to buy JUST The Taken King and the collector's edition additional items and digital content. By estimation based on the pricing structure of all the options presented so far, that should be priced around $60.00. I think that's fair considering the difference between the legendary and collector's editions.
My suggestion is this:
Fellow Guardians who want a $60.00 Legacy version of TTK containing ONLY the NEW offerings along with the expansion as well as the physical collectibles, and digital exclusives should post on the forums to make our voice heard. Tag your posts with #Legacy. We know Bungie listens if we speak loudly enough and we know they value their players. Sometimes things get overlooked, and maybe all they need is a gentle nudge. Or maybe it will take a nudge from a Titan Shoulder Charge. The louder we are, the better shot we have.
Who's with me?
[b]TL:DR If you want an option to get the extra content without having to re-buy the content you have, our best shot is to let Bungie know in the forums.[/b]
Edit: Trending! Keep our voices loud Guardians!
Edit2: Tagged as Feedback. Thanks @a common engram
Edit3: It looks like Bungie has taken notice (no pun intended). We should get some info on our appreciation awarded as year one guardians. If it doesn't include the emotes, class items and shaders, I will be pretty bummed. As much as I'd love to get the physical collectors edition items, I'm not holding my breath at this point.

Edit4: It has begun! It looks like the collective voice of the veteran playerbase has made an impact. So far it looks like not quite the same thing we were looking for in a purchase option, but digitally, it provides the content extras that are exclusive to the collector's edition.

Edit5: Bungie has set up a Digital option as an add-on for the additional digital content exclusive to the collector's edition of TTK. This content is priced at $20.00, and contains 3 shaders, 3 emotes and 3 class items. Clocking in at a value of $2.22/item. Some have compared the pricing to Elder Scrolls Horse armor disparity, others are happy with just having a more suitable option. Considering the fact that the legendary edition is $60.00, and the physical collector's edition is $80.00, and the laughably inequitably priced digital collector's edition is also priced at $80.00. The comparison and some basic algebra presents a few different for the collector's edition exclusive content:
1. Collector's edition ($80) - Legendary edition ($60) = Digital exclusives($10) + Physical collectibles ($10)
or
2. Collector's edition ($80) - Legendary edition ($60) - Digital exclusives ($20) = Physical collectibles ($0.00)
supported by
3. Collector's edition ($80) - Digital collector's edition ($80) = Physical collectibles ($0.00)
So my question is this? Where are my free physical collectible items? C'mon Bungie, I'll even send pre-paid shipping.

Bump... Another Beta > Digital Collectors Edition > Digital Taken King player. :(
-
Agree. It is sad that some people who buy the collector's edition will then sell it for double the price. Then there is me who has already bought everything I could for destiny, and now I am being "forced" to waste $80.00 on digital perks. Wait, are we sure this isn't World of Warcraft?
-
How about you go to gamestop and trade Destiny and a few other games tou have in towards the collector edition for 40 bucks or whatever your willing to trade.
-
So many bumps! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I agree. Why are we who played Destiny from the very beginning being punished? Why are we forced to buy the original game and the expansions that we already purchased in order to get all of the collectable goodies? Why Bungie? Why?
-
Can you even get the physical edition and if not can they please restock it it sold out pretty fast and I know many people haven't gotten the chance to get it even if I have to wait till after the game comes out i guess
-
No if you want the physical items then buy the physical edition if you want the digital items upgrade your base version but physical items are for people willing to pay $80.

Agree

Edited by Unde4dSoldier95: 6/25/2015 11:44:24 PMI give this a massive bump. I'm a beta tester and a Ghost edition owner that started playing on day 1 and owns both dlcs. I'm probably going to buy whichever version gets me all the physical goodies no matter the price because I can afford it and that just how I roll. HOWEVER...just because I can afford it doesn't mean I want to drop $80 to get all the stuff that I want. I do feel shafted that Bungie doesn't have an option for us veteran players that want the physical stuff but have to pay extra for something we already own. While the VIP shader, emblem, and sparrow are a nice touch for us dedicated players, it does very little to make up for the price we have to pay to get everything.
-
Agreed I just preordered the base digital version because I couldn't justify spending another $40 for the goodies I dont have yet...Even though I really want them!
-
Agreed! It's such a disappointment when they screw us loyal players with this price point. I'm on the fence of not even supporting the game until it goes for cheap. Plus even missing a month of two destiny, the way light level works will get me in to the highest level in no time
