[spoiler]So I just bought The Taken King Digital Collectors Edition for 80$, then I read this weeks update which told me that only people who purchased it before the announcement will receive some kind of discount for future expansions.
Am I included into that group since I spent 80$ and have owned Destiny, TDB, and HoW [i](A total of 180$+[/i])? Or am I just the unluckiest soul on earth. I couldn't even pick up the Real Collectors Edition for the same price.
I'm paying 80$ instead of 20$ just for the Suros Pre-Order, Year 1 Veteran's pack, and the 3 emotes, class items and shaders. Yep a 60$ value. Why isn't there a 40$ edition for players who own all expansions and just want the DCE items?
Can someone please verify my assumption or at least provide me with some comfort? I think I just made a huge mistake.

[i]Thanks to (mentor) [b]Anidien[/b] for answering. I'm doomed but oh well, we'll move on. Glad to see forum moderators doing their job and being active in the community.
Also another thanks to [b]Digi_Blade[/b] for the extra clarification.[/i]

[b]Update:[/b] Just wanted to give you the heads up: [quote]The VIP rewards will be available to any one who purchases the TTK and has a level 30+ or owns both current DLCs.
The Suros Pre-Order bonuses will also be available to players who purchase the Taken King on launch day.
The Digital Collectors Edition emotes, class items, and shaders will be available as DLC once The Taken King is released or some time after for 20$
The Taken King will be 40$ for players who already own Destiny, TDB, and HoW. The Legendary Edition for 60$ is for players who do not own Destiny.[/quote]
So what someone like me should have done was bought TTK and the DCE collectors items for a total of 60$ instead of throwing a 20$ bill into the wind.
If you purchase The Taken King on Launch Day, are a VIP member, and later purchase the DCE for an additional 20$, you will receive:[quote]5 Shaders, 3 Emotes, 3 Class Items, 3 exclusive Suros Weapons, 2 Emblems, 1 Sparrow, and 1 Ghost Shell.

For those who are wanting to preorder the DCE items, wait till Launch Day!

Back in late June, Bungie announced a $20 add on package to any version of the Taken King, that includes the Digital Collector's Edition in game items. https://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update--06242015/en/News/News?aid=13090 The reference in today's weekly update, is with regards to those players who purchased the DCE, even though they owned all year one content, prior to that announcement, because many retailers of digital games do not allow refunds (disallowing canceling that order and purchasing the digital download version with the add on). DCE purchases made after the announcement, are not included in the group referenced in the BWU today.

I would also like some clarification on this matter
