For just a few days it was possible to bypass some of the microtransactions in Destiny. Along with update 2.1.0 and the new Sparrow Racing League that dropped this week (more on that here) there was a new "SRL Record Book, Vol. 1" which was available for $10. The book offered up some tasks to complete, such as races to win, and in return it offered up cosmetic rewards.

However, some users on Reddit found out that purchasing the book wasn't necessary, and that there was a trick whereby you could go to the in-game store and unlock the content via the preview screen. Thus it was a bug that required fixing quickly and the team rolled out the hotfix 2.1.0.2 very quickly indeed. These are the patch notes:

Fixed an issue where Exotic Leg Engrams did not decrypt into any items.

Fixed an issue where copies of "The Climb" FWC Ship was incorrectly providing Reputation.
- This has been temporarily disabled on the Ship Collection kiosk and will be fixed in a future update.

Fixed an issue where the SRL Record Book, Vol. 1 items did not require the player to own the Record Book in order to acquire them.
- Record Book items will not be deleted from players' inventories, but will now require ownership of the SRL Record Book in order to equip the items.
- Any progress already made towards the Record Book will be saved.
- Warning: Record Book gear can only be acquired once. We are working on a future fix to allow players to attain additional instances in case of accidental deletion.

Destiny

Thanks, DualShockers.
