@shadowslayer30 It's good you realize a difference, that's the first step.

The problem is that customers are now forced to by pre order DLC in order to obtain the novelty items.

I'll put my reasoning into a perspective you mentioned.

Novelty Items = apples, DLC = oranges. Limited Edition is a common game naming convention for a "bag of apples".

Now, Halo 4 is reducing the number of apples we get and throwing in a few oranges to make up for it (not to mention most of the apples are digital, yuck, who wants to bite a digital apple?). But rather than leaving the price at $70, they're increasing it to $100. Whether or not those are some damn good oranges is for you to decide.

I think it would have been more appropriately titled Halo 4 Elite (bag of oranges) rather than Halo 4 Limited Edition (bag of apples). It's not me who's confusing apples from oranges, it's Microsoft that's selling a mixed bag of apples and oranges when usually it only has apples in it.

The people who just want the apples are stuck buying the oranges.

I remember when "maps" in a collector's edition meant you get a cloth version of the paper version already included with the game. The goodies were merely collectibles and art/music. It was only $10 more than the standard version and considered a good price point for hardcore fans. This meant $50 games had a $60 CE.

If we apply the same concept (goodies=$10), Halo 4 is priced at $90 for the complete game. Otherwise you can purchase the partial version for $60.

If maps and other DLC are considered goodies, then physical goodies are being converted to digital goodies and the price for the goodies has inflated 400%.

"We believe..."

You believe?! Find out for sure! Don't tell me that you laid off your whole research department.

better CONTENT; if more games had that I wouldn't have so much time to troll forums

I've been waiting for this release since 2003

@PixelAddict "We're doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game..."

Don't be surprised if it plays more like COD and less like TR.

It's obvious...

Sony needs to increase the prices of their TVs to make up for the losses from their overpriced TVs.

One of the few games I didn't buy used.

I'm confused, I thought this game already came out?

You can stream netflix on ps3 without PlayOn now, just request the disc, pop it in and select your movie
