It's basically a GotY edition, it's nothing new. (Destiny)

I really don't see this as that big of a deal. The Collector's Edition, sure that's a big deal because the digital one costs the same as the physical without the physical loot, and includes rewards you can't get any other way so you have to buy it if you want "everything". But the pricing of The Taken King makes perfect sense. Destiny RIGHT NOW is $27 on Amazon, even with both expansions for $35, that's barely over $60 for the base game and the expansions. This is no different than companies coming out with a "Game of the Year" edition of the game. We got a year with the game (and I personally put more than 700 hours into the game), that's why we paid more. If I didn't think it was worth the ~$100 I already paid I certainly wouldn't buy The Taken King for $40, but since I do, I don't begrudge them enticing new people to buy the game with a lower price of entry.

I refuse to believe that Taken King is somehow worth $40 alone, yet somehow the other two DLCs and the base game total to $20 in the overall $60 equation. Sorry dude.
