Costs of Upgrading from Legacy Console

First, I get it. Maintaining the destiny environment for legacy consoles is a pain. But I have to wonder if the developers actually understand the cost implications to its players, the many of us that have been around for some time now. This sucks! What is even worse is the two following points: 1) neither new platform consol supports the legacy version of destiny. And 2) the new content coming out in Sept requires that you have the TTK content. So, if I want to continue to enjoy the best destiny has to offer, not only do I have to buy the new$60 content, but I also need to buy another$50 version of the content I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR! WHAT THE ____?!? That does not even begin to address the cost of the New console, the cost of the Internet, nor access through xbox live, or equipment upgrades to handle the additional bandwidth to support the new consoles requirements. I don't know guys... I was pretty dissatisfied when TTK first came out. So much so that I essentially stopped playing for something like 6 months. I actually just started playing destiny again a few weeks ago - now this... Much of what really got under my skin has been substantially improved. But the whole idea that I need to buy the same thing twice... Well, I can say this much, that ain't gonna fly ladies an gentlemen. Not by a long shot. I don't care how you do it, let me trade my legacy game in for a new platform version, or give me the old content for free if I buy the new stuff. But if you expect or desire to keep me playing this game, you need to do something. I am not buying the same thing twice.

  • Well, Bungie definitely won't give you free content, they already did that to the large majority of the players before TTK dropped. But, if you actually want to keep playing, here's a few tips. 1) If you upgrade consoles, all you have to do if log in to your Microsoft account and you will keep your gold membership. You won't have to rebuy it. 2)The entire Destiny game as it stands now(Original game, TDB, HoW, and TTK) only cost $40 at GameStop. You can probably find it cheaper somewhere else too. 3)Rise of the Iron doesn't come until September, so I wouldn't even worry about it. 4)Microsoft's annual Ultimate Video Game Sale begins July 5 and goes until July 11. The Xbox one will be on sale during this time. This would be a good time to buy it. 5) During the sale, it may be possible to buy Destiny on sale as well, but don't hold your breath on that. Well, there you have it. Hope this helps
