The only thing on the physical disk is the base game. All expansions are digital and are downloaded using codes that come in the game case. These codes are limited to the account that enters them for the first time. In order to access TTK content on a different account, TTK must be purchased on that account.

    Lovely. So, they sell a misleadingly labeled product and then screw you when you try to mitigate the situation. Also, nothing on the TTK packaging says you're NOT getting the full content on the physical disc. It appears that there is literally NO purpose for the physical disc since it did a 30+ GB "update" to start things off. Why bother making a disc at all?? And what are you supposed to do if your Microsoft account is somehow damaged? A while back, one of my kids had a Hotmail account that they used for XBOX activities get corrupted AT MICROSOFT (on their servers). Microsoft's only advice was to create a new account and delete the corrupted one. Are you simply out of luck then?

    On Xbox one, all games are installed to the HDD, the disc contains the install files. Once the game is installed, the disc essentially acts as a key that allows you to play. The update you received contained all of the patches since the game released, as they don't do a re-print of the discs every time an update is released. If your Microsoft account was deleted or you lost access to it, any digital content tied to that account would be inaccessible, which includes DLC and digital copies of games.

  • All dlc content no matter what the game is always digital only.

  • Then what is the $20 Taken King in the Microsoft Store that "requires Destiny?" If you need the vanilla Destiny in the drive to validate and all DLC is download only, what does this disc do? This whole system is so customer-unfriendly and sometimes nonsensical. For example, the "purchase" of the "Rise of Iron upgrade" from GameStop is actually just buying a $30 XBOX gift card code. You don't have to use it for Destiny. What's the point? I would imagine a certain percentage of people are confused or frustrated into just buying complete bundles each time there is a major upgrade.

  • How is that Bungie's issue that GameStop sells the $30 XBL/PSN code?? Honestly I've never had any confusion about purchasing any of their expansions. I bought base game disc, and everything else digitally. Have to use to disc in order to play the game and to access all expansions. The disc is basically your license on owning the original base game, since you don't have a digital license from a digital purchase.

  • The disc is Destiny everything else is dlc. You had a choice in year 1 disc or digital as you had with TTK Legendary and now The Collection. The digital is as the name said the game as a download bought from the system store or as a pre-paid download code (GameStop just gives you the credit to buy the game from the store). The disc is the same but once installed has copy protection needing that disc to be in the system to play. If you have problems with that from now on just buy from the system's store but buying from shops (disc) can be cheaper due to competition between shops.

    @ThundaDevil @GreatCyberboy I appreciate the explanations and replies. Devil... The GameStop issue is relevant because Bungie directly sends you to the store if you want the upgrade. The Rise of Iron website -- in typical Bungie fashion -- lacks critical information and/or offers information that is confusing or even wrong. If you wanted the Rise UPGRADE, it gave you two options -- GameStop or Microsoft. However, you couldn't buy the UPGRADE from Microsoft. It showed a picture in the store, but always said "Out of Stock." Both in-person and telephone customer service at Microsoft confirmed that there was no Rise UPGRADE available from Microsoft -- it was only an in-game upgrade. Sending people to GameStop was a superfluous trip -- wasting gas and time to end up doing the same in-game update you would've done from home. What the Bungie site SHOULD have simply said was "Rise of Iron is an in-game upgrade and is accessed from your existing Destiny game."
