This sounds like a great deal.

That shot of the guardians walking on the snowy mountain always looks so goofy to me, why is that?
Isn't Destiny 2 set for next year? I'd assume Rise of Iron will be the last expansion for the first game.

I havent played Destiny since like 2 weeks after launch. How does the leveling experience work for a new player going into Rise of Iron? Do we actually get to experience those 2 dlc packs for the base game and the previous expansion or are they rendered obsolete?

The longer I wait to buy Destiny, the more they offer me for $60.
I think they are done after Rise of Iron. There is still some small stuff. Like Sparrow racing. But those are more events. And next year is Destiny 2 time.

You do have a point there, still for $60 this is worth it.

They completely restructured the original campaign and included the DLCs in that restructuring. So The Dark Below and the House of Wolves DLC are now tied directly into the campaign. Big improvement imo.
That's...basically any game.
hmm I'd be really surprised if this is anything more than the stock Destiny disc with a download code for every expansion

i bought ttk last year and found that the previous two dlcs were largely useless. i did play through them to see them but other than the challenge of elders which is something they repackaged from the 2nd dlc, it was mostly TTK. they dont give you a reason to try previous dlc.

Taken King was a voucher though. This will probably be the same.

Same. Rise of Iron can't get here fast enough.

Taken King had ugly cover art too
And the less people with whom you have to play the best multi-player content in the game.

So they are selling the same game year after year in retail with a little more content each time? I mean, good for new players, but I've never seen this done before.
If you're at all interested in the game, this is one of the best deals in gaming. Tons of content.
It won't be all on disc though, right? I imagine voucher codes+patches to get the game to it's current state.
I still think they should sell this a week or two before ROI comes out and just lock out ROI until release. Would be great incentive for new people to get up to speed. The booster is nice, but you'll still be lost in terms of gear once you get to that level. It's better for an alt.

The Collection will be the same vanilla Destiny with two codes on the voucher. One for The Taken King and one for Rise of Iron. It's one of the questions I asked when I visited Bungie last month. I have more game details coming over the next 2 days on Gaming Age.

don't expect anything but the vanilla game on the disc.
It's the same idea as the "GotY edition" except they haven't finished making content for it. WoW does a similar thing and rolls older expansions into the base game over time.
Destiny 2 will be out next year though, making this probably the last time they'll do this for Destiny.

I just bought the legendary edition with the taken king on Saturday. Im really liking it, hope this puts some more peeps on the servers that are low level like me because all I'm seeing roaming around are lvl 40. I'm currently level 7 and having a great time doing the missions.
Blizzard does this with World of Warcraft every expansion.
Actually in the beginning you had to pay for each expansion before buying the new one to catch up
Maybe makes you, not people that played the alpha and beta

I like how they sneak in parts of the space battle fmv to make you think you can play those.

Half of which is content hardly anyone plays anymore so...yay I guess?

Something tells me this will release just like Taken King last year -- not on the disc. Taken King at retail last year was just vanilla Destiny disc with a voucher to download everything up to that point. Still had a very sizeable download to complete once you opened it up, and then the game still has its on-disc install. Entire process on ~25Mbps connection took about 7 hours to get to a playable state, so any new players probably just be braced for that to be your reality for the first day or so -- I imagine this bundle is a good value once you can get in and play, but don't expect to be able to for a little while.
Jump in now, there won't be a better time to. Especially if content transfers from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2.
The game is currently gonna be too big to fit on one disk anyway.
Yes of course it is gonna be like that... it also prevents you from re-selling the whole thing. You can only trade in the vanilla disk. Everyone has to buy all the expansions for themselves.
