Destiny: The Taken King - Legendary Edition is a good deal on all the DLC
If you want to play The Taken King but don't already own Destiny, Activision and Bungie have an offerfor you for you. Destiny: The Taken King - Legendary Edition bundles the original game and all three expansions together for $59.99..
That's a pretty good deal in retail and digital alike, considering that The Taken King will sell by itself for $39.99 when it releases on September 15. It's even worthwhile if you already own Destiny but gave the expansions a miss, since the season pass (which comes with The Dark Below and House of Wolves) will still set you back around $35.
Meanwhile, Destiny super fans (who don't mind buying the game and two expansions over again) may prefer The Taken King Collector's Edition. It comes with a Strange Coin replica and other lore-friendly "relics," a hollowed out book to hide them in, a SteelBook case, and some in-game rewards: three class-specific emotes, three new armor shaders, and three exotic class items with built-in XP boosts. You can pick up the Digital Collector's Edition if you'd rather just get the in-game goodies, but either package will cost you $79.99.
But don't feel like you have to buy Destiny all over again to feel the love. Everybody who hits Light Level 30 or buys the two previous expansions by August 31, 2015 will also receive "an exclusive commemorative Founder's Fortune Year 1 Emblem," a special armor shader, and a unique Sparrow when they purchase The Taken King by February 1, 2016.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
