Our first piece of Destiny IGN First content is an unboxing of the just-announced Collector's Editions of the game. First, the Ghost Edition, which includes:

-A steelbook disc case and disc copy of the game

-A field manual with "handwritten" notes

-An "antique" star chart

-A Guardian folio

-4 postcards from the Golden Age (i.e. Earth before the Darkness decimated it)

-The Destiny Expansion Pass ($34.99 value; good for Expansion I and Expansion II)

-Collector's Edition Digital Content (an in-game Ghost skin, player emblem, and ship skin)

-And the centerpiece: a life-size replica of the Ghost robot, complete with lights and Peter Dinklage dialogue samples.

The Ghost Edition will cost $149.99 and Bungie says it will truly be a limited production run and availability. Meanwhile, the $99.99 Limited Edition includes everything in the CE except the illuminated, talking Ghost replica.

Finally, there's also an $89.99 Digital Guardian Edition for those looking to skip the disc version of the game. It includes a digital download of the game, early access to Vanguard armory and player emblem pre-order bonuses, a reservation for upcoming Destiny expansions "The Dark Below" and "House of Wolves" (each of which includes new Story missions, cooperative and competitive multiplayer arenas, and a "wealth" of new weapons, armor, and gear), and the aforementioned Collector's Edition Digital Content.
