I wasted the extra forty bucks on the fluff items.
Does it anger me that we are getting screwed? Of couse. Hopefully bungie will realize their mistake.
The issue is that they want to charge $60 for the complete game; they just call it $40 plus $20 for two expansions, and the digital collectors edition adds an additional $20 worth of fluff. At this pricing model, this expansion should have a new season pass - not rebundled content updates. Furthermore, those of us who already have the expansions, can only get the fluff items by buying both expansions a second time.
In all fairness, one could argue that those of us who paid for content twice should somehow be retroactively compensated. In game items are an easy fix. Make emblems for the idiots like me who overpaid for a second purchase of both expansions, and put lollipops, toolboxes, or earmuffs on them.
If Bungie ignores this, then I predict that many day one players like myself will abort this train wreck once we've beaten whatever tired/recycled pve content is released in ttk, and star wars battlefront drops. Will the content included with ttk justify the price increase or will the destiny franchise go down in flames as a case study of how NOT to treat a loyal fan base? Time will tell.
Until then, here I'll be wondering how many more awful decisions bungie's leadership can possibly make regarding this "one little engine that could."

Pretty much. I haven't bought TTK yet because I'm waiting for a fix. But once all those new games drop around November... Good luck bungie. Especially if they try to keep this pricing bs going. People will stop buying the dlc (the smart people) and just play all the new games while they wait for bundles that are obvious rip-offs to original players.
