reading the article and seeing the guns I was like HELL YES.

Then I saw it was a pre order bonus for the new game, so yea spend 80 dollars, even though youve been a loyal customer so far (if you have all the expansions and such). Sad thing is to new people coming in, this is just the standard pre order bonus, to us it is something we might actually want.

tsk tsk

I'll get the weapons. I don't care about the shader, all I care about is the emblem. It looks cool.

On a side note, the day there is a legit red and black shader for my Titan will be the happiest day of my Titan's life. I mean, I just don't care about those stupid red and white. Why does Bungie like the White and <enter color here> shaders!? bahhhh

Okay, rage done. Go about your lives.

I was just about to answer that it's probably the same reason they got rid of all-black coloring in Halo (all-black characters were hard to see and thus had a PvP advantage, or at least that was the rumor). But then I remembered that there's an all-black shader (from Dead Orbit, I think?).

So, I guess I have no idea. Bungle, need moar black+other shaders, plz.

Yeah, I've been rocking the Crota shader on my Titan cause at least it's Mostly black with shiny orange underlays. Which is no red, but it is better than all the other stuff out there...

Wow, are you my long lost brother? You like Red, you like Titans and I can only assume that you like red on titans.

I feel like I know you.

gear is probably crap, or very basic. they aren't going to give anything away with a preorder that's better than raid gear.

Huh. Odd that they printed this on the image you linked then!

"Weapons Pack can be attained by pre-order of digital or physical editions of Destiny: The Taken King..."

What about a Hawkmoon? Can I preorder and get one of those?

It only showed up on their website for the $80 version when I looked for it! At least on my phone.

I guess they mean it is a timed exclusive.

Gamestop always uses the word exclusive when they can, notice they didn't here. That flier is just supposed to make you THINK it's exclusive without using wording they would get in trouble with the publisher for using.

Urk pointed out you don't have to get the expensive version, and you pointed out it's not even exclusive, but I, the potential customer, figured I could ONLY get it from Gamestop, ONLY preordering the expensive one.

I'm a stooge!

"Surprise appearance on internet." It's on Gamestop's website, dudez, not some leakist's Twitter account.

I wonder when this was supposed to be announced.

Why didn't he explain what it was in the bungie news post instead of making us search the Internet to find it somewhere else?

I suspect Bungie wasn't planning on releasing this news yet... Looks like Gamestop let it slip early. I saw a post from Deej saying something like "good thing I revealed the Suros weapons in the BWU!"

(Looking for the exact link now).

I'm guessing the surprise part was it was planned to be released today.

I deleted my XBONE pre-order when Xbox had the discount on the expansion pass. I wanted to have a shot at getting the emblem before TTK launch and the total price delta at that point was too great (but it would have been even greater if I waited for the 60 dollar release.) and I didn't want to need physical media.

This is what I find so odd and funny about the accusations of this being a well oiled cash extraction plan. The plans all conflict with each other and create cross incentives. I'm still not sure if I'll get TTK on Xbox right away since it's my secondary platform for Destiny; waiting for the price drop worked out to be just about the right timing on year one.
