Destiny: The Collection Coming On September 20
Activision and Bungie have revealed an all-in-one collection that includes every expansion and update for Destiny – even the upcoming Rise of Iron. That’s a lot of content in a single package, and it may be the perfect opportunity for last-gen players to make the leap.
When the $60 collection launches on September 20, players get the base game, plus The Dark Below, House of Wolves, The Taken King, and Rise of Iron (which also releases independently that day). Most Destiny fans have been keeping up as the game expands, but because Rise of Iron is not supported for players on PS3 and Xbox 360, this could be the right time for last-gen players to upgrade to new hardware (though repurchasing every part of the game may not be necessary with the upgrade program).
Bungie and Activision are providing a few extra incentives, too. If you pre-order the collection (or Rise of Iron individually), you get access to the black and silver Iron Gjallarhorn weapon. If you pre-purchase the whole collection, you can dig right in to all of the older content while you wait for Rise of Iron’s release.

Our Take
This collection looks like a pretty deal for anyone who has been waiting to jump into Destiny. It's clearly not for current fans who are playing on PS4 and Xbox One, but it seems like a good way to widen the net and bring in some fresh Guardians.
