The cost of being a collector. (Destiny)

by unoudid , Somewhere over the rainbow, Tuesday, June 23, 2015, 12:30 (3249 days ago) @ Spec ops Grunt

Here's my financial breakdown of all of my Destiny related purchases in order to get everything you can purchase on the xbox echosphere

xbone ghost edition (Originally was only going to play on the One): $149.99
CoD Advanced Warfare PreOrder (For Blacksmith Shader): $5
360 regular edition (bought to play with friends on the 360): $59.99
360 season pass (Because apparently you could only upgrade and not downgrade): $34.99
Nepal Relief (Shader, Emblem, Shirt, Poster): $100 (Only $24.99 for in game items)
xbone TTK Collector's Edition: $79.99

I'm sitting at $429.96 spent on this game so far ($354.95 for in game items)

I have played a total of 1271 hours on the 3 characters I have plus around another 200 on the 2nd warlock I ran for most of Vanilla and TDB. For simplification I'm going to round up to 1500 hours total spent in game.

$355 Spent on the game
1500 Hours in game
$0.24 price per hour played w/ all available content.

While I'm not excited to have to rebuy the entire game again for my new dance moves I'm sitting at a good price per hour of entertainment and still have a brand new expansion to play in a few months.

The cost of being a collector. (Destiny)
