That sucks for people waiting to buy it down the line for cheaper.

that's the whole point.

bonus soundtracks/art books are one thing, but actually *removing* content from the regular edition is tacky. i'd bitch more, but i'm definitely getting it on on release day, so who cares.

think of it as "adding" to the LE. not "removing" from the RE.

I disagree, it's removing content. Or, reverse removing. Not the same as adding content.

However you look at it, it's a pretty shitty thing to do to your user base.

i still fail to see how its "removing" anything. so when maps are added to xblive games, are they taking away from the original release?

the limited edition and regular edition are being released on the same day. the content was *removed*.

This is news I believe (and am not happy about). Its not as egregious and cash-runny as Nintendo crippling GBA versions of games until you buy and connect the GC game to it, but its still fucking lame. Its a shame MS had to do this to the frontrunner for 2005 GOTY.

I pre-ordered this last night at gamestop and the employee told me that you really don't have to pre-order it to get the LE version. He said that Bioware would ship LE versions only for the first 3 months and then after that they would ship the strip down versions without the x-tra's. So as long as you pick up the game within the 1st three months you'll still get an LE version.

I think the point is why would anybody release a shittier version of their product and a better version just to mafia you into buying the game sooner than later?

This is the kind of ignorant gimmick that makes me want to avoid the game altogether.

I can understand if it was like an item or something outside of the game, but this is a part of the *game*.

[Glass Joe]

Yeah, this has "shitty" written all over it. I think Erotic hit it on the head with the first sentence of his post.

I do however love action RPGs but something about the Asian setting doesn't sit well with me. I don't hate it, but for some reason it makes me not want it.

Yeah, no shit. What is the point other than to bully potential customers?

KOTOR was good (looked like ass though), but it didn't buy them THIS kind of leverage.

Maybe I'll make this my first bootleg Xbox game?
