Since enemies/character animations until the core base game.

Even the UI is changed... the voices too.

I can say 17GB is a fair update.

Everything. Literally eveything.

Plus the 17gigs you're downloading actually is the Taken King expansion itself. You'll have it on your hard drive, so if/when you choose to buy it you'll just have to download a 100mb patch to get started.

It's a $40 expansion for people who already own the original Destiny and its 2 DLC.

If you don't own any of that, you can buy the original Destiny, the 2 DLCs and the taken king expansion for $60. It's called Destiny: Legendary Edition. This is a great deal for newcomers since you don't have to buy all the previous stuff individually. You get everything, including the new expansion for only $60, which IMO is an amazing deal. You will drown in the sheer amount of content and could be playing the game for months if you really get into it.

Problem is we don't have the cheaper version in Aus only the Legendary edition at $99

I already own the game I don't get why they can't release taken king plus the two expansions only here.

I now feel if I buy this I have a usless limited edition disc lol.

I don't know the pricing scheme over there but buying the Legendary Edition even if you owned only the vanilla Destiny is better than buying the two DLCs and taken king separactely, which would cost $80 and the Legendary Edition is $60. So you're saving money by buying the Legendary edition if you didn't own the DLC.

The limited edition cost me like $125, so spenidng another $99 which includes the game makes my ;imited edition disc totally worthless for resale or trade value.

In my opinion they need a disc that just includes the two expansion packs and the taken king on it. which you use in conjunction with the original game disc.
