Is this the big one or is the season pass not a season pass?

$40 is a lot.

Wow. That had better be some good content.

$40?? Bungie please
The leaked spreadsheet claimed that it was a full game's worth of content.

40 bucks is fine as long as there is content there to back it up.

The season pass covers the first two expansions, and The Taken King is the third.

From what I've heard there's a substantial amount of content in this so $40 seems...about reasonable.
By whose standards? Bungie's?

Seems like a valid question though.

I am guessing this is where the rest of Destiny went.
Original "Season Pass" was 35 bucks, so that might be a good measure on whether or not there's going to be "enough content" in there.
When the base game is 60 bucks, I do not see how it possibly can be.

I'd buy it if it included the previous 2 expansions. Getting all of those expansions at once would really feel like a whole game's worth of content.
You can buy the entire series of the wire for $40. Hell, you could get almost 3 months of hbo now for $40

You can say that this content was 'Taken' from the main game

I haven't even played the last expansion ( and I bought it) Too many other games to play without grinding. Don't plan on playing again anytime soon.

A full game would be 4 or 5 new planets so I seriously doubt it.
Oh sweet, let me edit my post.

The way to justify $40 is to include $40 worth of content. It's steep, so it needs to be a pretty huge expansion, much larger than the two released to date.
A new planet, new subclasses, and several new strikes and story missions is getting there. Details matter. Hopefully they have a lot to show at E3.

Honestly for 40 bucks I would hope we see more than a planet.
The rest of this does sound cool though. House of Wolves was a big improvement in most places, aside from some weirdness with the etheric light/gear economy. I'm optimistic.

Add space battles and I'm in.

He's 'A' God of the Hive. Crota was basically one of his followers of a certain 'sect' of Hive. Oryx is like, the big daddy of this sect.

I'd bet that on Sept. 15th you could buy the ultimate edition for $60+. I think the point of this is to reinvigorate the user base. No way are they going to try and sell a $40 expansion to the sliver of a population still playing Destiny by then.
Right.
I bet we don't get a single new planet.
I'm skipping this, I'm not getting bamboozled twice.

House of Wolves was a huge step in the right direction, I have high hopes for The Taken King.

Another full game of content? So 4 new planets/regions?
The main reason I left Destiny is I was bored to death of seeing the same fucking areas all the time

I expect a goty version soon probably before this expansion.
For the type of game that it is I never understand all the complaints about the price. You get hundreds of hours of entertainment for $40
We are not paying monthly subscription fees like other games of its type. It is not fully an MMO, but has similar traits.
How much are most subscription fees per month for MMOs?

Hmmm. I will refrain from the initial "you've got to be kidding me" that crossed my mind then.
I've been playing a lot of House of Wolves, and while I don't want to sound like a broken record, all of this feels like it was intended to be in the original release. Hopefully this expansion is an actual expansion.
Two raids is pretty substantial. Practically doubles the raid content! $40 redeemed!

Sounds kind of small for a full game.
I'm still holding out hoping for Bungie to throw 3+ new planets into some package so I can buy in. Never bought Destiny vanilla after we knew they scrapped a lot of content.
