Destiny: Here’s what microtransactions will cost Aussies

Destiny‘s new microtransactions have hit, and we’ve got Aussie pricing details for local Guardians.

Of the 18 emotes currently on offer by Tess Everis, only two are classed as Legendary items. Emotes and their prices (in in-game Silver) are below:

  • Blowing a Kiss — 200 Silver
  • Booyah — 200 Silver
  • Bow Down — 200 Silver
  • Bring It On — 200 Silver
  • Charmed — 200 Silver
  • Classified — 200 Silver
  • Come at Me — 200 Silver
  • Congrats — 200 Silver
  • Cower — 200 Silver
  • Enthusiastic Dance (Legendary)  — 500 Silver
  • Evil Scheme — 200 Silver
  • Formal Bow — 200 Silver
  • Oh, Please — 200 Silver
  • Pumped Up — 200 Silver
  • Safe — 200 Silver
  • Slow Clap (Legendary) — 500 Silver
  • Sorrow — 200 Silver
  • Swing — 200 Silver
  • Tantrum — 200 Silver
  • Victory Cheer — 200 Silver
  • Watch Your Back — 200 Silver

Aussie pricing for in-game Silver, as confirmed via the Xbox Games Store, is as follows:

  • 500 Silver — $7.35 AUD (or $4.99 USD)
  • 1000 Silver (with 100 Silver bonus) — $13.45 AUD (or $9.99 USD)
  • 2000 Silver (with 300 Silver bonus) — $26.25 AUD (or $19.99 USD)

Tess does provide players with 400 free Silver. With that taken into account, it still means Aussies would pay $47.05 AUD total (1x each of the Silver packages) to purchase every available emote. And before you ask, the Carlton Dance is known as the “Enthusiastic Dance” up above, so you’ll have to pay real-world cash if you want it.

Silver can also be refunded at Tess’ booth within 15 minutes at purchase. While you won’t get real-world cash back, said refunds will give you Silver back so you can buy something different instead.

What do you think of the pricing inside Destiny?

Update: It’s early and our math sucked. We incorrected reported that all emotes would cost $105 AUD based on each Rare emote costing 400 Silver. As each of those emotes are priced at 200 Silver, we have corrected our story.
