Hey, you're not gonna believe this, but the pricing issue got /WORSE/.
APPARENTLY, NOW THEY'RE SELLING THE "COLLECTORS EDITION" WITHOUT THE
GAME INCLUDED.

Why on EARTH would a fan ever spend 160$ to not even get the game they
wanted, and have to shell out an extra 80 DOLLARS on top of that?! THis
is honestly getting ridiculous, especially with how BL3 was recieved.

As terrible as it is, Gearbox isn't the first to do that. There have
been other games that have sold 'premium' editions that included
everything* /but/ the game (I think Ubisoft was famous for this).

I don't get it myself but I'm not the sort of person interested in all
the tchotchke2 and knick-knacks they sell anyway. I mean, there MUST a
market for it, but damned if I can understand the logic of buying all
that crap for a game I can't even play?
It may be that they pre-ordered the game already so have already bought
it long before the "Sucker's Edition" gets offered.
At least this way they don't have to buy the game a second time.
Unlike say the movie industry that would release the regular movie on
DVD/Blu-Ray, then later a Collector's Edition, then a Director's Cut,
then an Ultimate Collector's Director's Combo Pack (which contains stuff
the regular Collector's Edition didn't and 37 seconds of extra footage
over the Director's Cut.
These get released a year or so apart, so the mega fan gets soaked over
and over again.
* I say "everything" but often these super-premium editions are
divided up so there's no way you can get all the crap without buying
multiple versions because some items are exclusive to different
editions. Marketing people deserved to be scalped for shit like this.
You can live through a scalping;
Crucifixion!
