This is the way I see it, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
A1. You've already played and beat the first game.
A2. You start in the "middle" of the new disc (beginning of the second game, halfway through the adventure). Nothing to see here.
B1. You have not completed (or played) the first game.
B2. They're giving you the full first game, enhanced, included with the second game so that you can (ok, ok, WILL HAVE TO) play through it all before you start game two.
I kind of see where the rage is coming from, but if you've completed your playthrough of the first game, I don't really see the issue. Again, it seems to me like they're giving people two games for the price of one.
C1. You played the original game and beat it. You had to change HDDs, or you console broke, or you sold the game and deleted the saves.
C2. The sequel is out, and now you can't play it unless you play through the entire original game again, and you don't want to invest time into that, so you decide to skip the sequel entirely.
D1. You didn't really care for the first game. The story didn't hold your attention, and the areas weren't interesting. You read up on the rest of the story and found out that nothing really happens for the rest of the game anyway.
D2. You hear the sequel is better, and will actually have major events that tie up the story and end it. It looks cool, and the gameplay improvements seem pretty neat. But you have to play through stuff you don't care for to get to that and you don't want to. So you skip it.
See how this is an awful business decision?
