As a consumer, I was disappointed that the Digital and Physical Collector's editions of TTK cost the same, so I'm glad to see the new pricing structure going into effect.

It's also helpful that they're talking about the fact that it's not JUST the exclusive class items that will have stats and perks; other class items will be similarly endowed. Feels a lot less like "pay to win".

I can only imagine what went down at the studio this past week to garner this response, but it's obvious that there are some growing pains inside Bungie and needing to communicate with a fanbase this large. I also appreciate Luke's letter -- it reads sincerely and above-the-board, which is what was needed.

As for myself, I'll keep my physical Collector's Edition for Xbox, and I'll convert my PS4 order to be Digital (+ Digital Collector's if I really like what I see over on Xbox).

And finally, that Year 1 stuff looks slick. :)
