It’s Bungie Day. You want information. You want answers! You want the truth. Here goes…

If all you need from Destiny is a grand adventure that sends you to the stars in search of your own personal legend, we’ve got you more than covered. If you’ve played Bungie games in the past, you’re not prepared for the scope and the scale of this next-gen shooter.

However! If you crave more ways to express your inner Guardian, we’ve also got you covered. Destiny is all about collecting loot, after all. The treasures you claim on your missions will enhance your experience. They’ll make you a unique warrior in a brave new world worthy of heroes. They’ll deepen your understanding of the journey. This is as true for the Guardian that kicks alien ass it is for the player that drives them forward.

Be you a Guardian or a collector, there is a version of Destiny for you. Check ‘em out.

Destiny Expansion Pass

Expand your Destiny adventure with brand-new story missions, cooperative activities, competitive multiplayer arenas, and all wealth of all new weapons, armor, and gear to earn. The Destiny Expansion Pass includes Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below and Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves. In The Dark Below, you’ll discover an ancient tomb has been unsealed. Beneath the surface of the Moon, a dark god has answered centuries of prayer, and a dark army has risen. Explore the true depths of the Hellmouth. Stop the dark Hive ritual and survive.

As an added bonus for PlayStation platforms, the Destiny Expansion pass will also include additional exclusive content for Expansion I and II that will remain exclusive until at least Fall of 2015.

Of course, every preorder of Destiny is deserving of special rewards – even if all you want is the game we’ve always wanted to make at Bungie. Your commitment to become a Guardian on Day One will gain you favor with the Vanguard Quartermaster in the Tower. This is not the only way to earn Vanguard items – but it’s a jump start in the arms race.

Want a closer look at all of this?

To unpack all the details, our friends at IGN are joining the Bungie Day party. Watch as they open the box that contains your bright future. All month long, they’ll be helping us tell the story that leads to the Destiny Beta, and the final launch of the game.

Looks awesome, I did try the Beta for some hours and really liked the world of Destiny, all on space really fascinates me

I stopped playing because I really miss playing if trophies and I'll probably get when it releases, not a FPS fan but gladly they mixed some other elements from rpg and action

[silverstag88]

That ghost is one of the coolest things I've seen in a collector's edition. 

[FluffyAssassin64]

Yeah that statue is pretty awesome. Like always with CE's though, does 2x the price justify a few extra goodies and a cool statue? Maybe, maybe not

 

I'll probably just pick up the Standard Edition like I do with pretty much every other game haha. I have to say though, I'm only somewhat excited for Destiny at this stage. From what I've seen of gameplay, etc. so far, it looks reasonably fun but not necessarily like anything special. I suppose I'll have to wait and see if it pulls me in (like most games tend to do)

$150 or €160, fair pricing.

Just wanted to pass this along if anyone was looking to pre order the Ghost Edition.  Looks like Gamestop and Amazon are sold out online of the Ghost Edition for PS4 as of yesterday.  Best Buy still hasn't posted to their site yet, but unsure if the Ghost Edition will be sold by them yet.

[Saltyie]

I would get it, it's still in stock at Game in the UK, but the $150 = £150 thing is stupid. I don't thing that was Bungies choice though, Game always horrendously overprice things when it's exclusive to them.

[Malfuras]

Can't seem to find alot of information regarding the expansion pass included in these collectors editions. What little I have read indicates that they'll be fairly pricey in themselves and so may make these collectors editions even more worthwhile. 

Anyone have any more info to share!?

[willmill97]

Meh, I'm more excited for what the LBP3 collector's edition will look like and include
