It isn't really like that though, Microsoft have a version for basic users, a version for slightly more inept people, and then a version for people who are advanced. They have to pay to develop those features, so it makes sense to do it the way they do, this on the other hand is a joke.This is like Microsoft and their stupid Windows Vista/7 editions.
For fucks sake Ubisoft, what's so hard about just releasing a Standard and LE/Collector's Edition and being done with it?
It is easier to not buy any version.
So stupid. I refuse to pay extra for day one dlc and I refuse to pay extra to buy from a specific retailer. I know a load of this is exclusive to Game in the UK and I'd rather shave my balls and dip them in lemon juice than buy from Game
I was buying the Deadsec edition purely because of all the content it gave (additional three DLC's) however, Ubisoft snatched that sale away from themselves with announcing the season pass which has those DLC's included and also additional content not in the Deadsec edition.
A real dumb move. So I am getting the standard edition and the season pass
Come in and challenge them? Why not stop this money grabbing pre-order content in the first place? Having another store competing will only result in an even more fractured game.I feel that way too, I hate how they get the monopoly on all the extras/pre order bonuses available. I wish someone else would come in and challenge them.
Whatever version came with my graphics card.
That's my stance.It is easier to not buy any version.

Per the chart, the Limited Edition version gets zero extra in-game content. You're shelling out $69.99 on top of the game's retail price for mass produced physical crap that's literally going to sit on a shelf and collect dust after you've looked at it once. $69.99 for a statue, flimsy mask, metal disk case, soundtrack CD, and a half-assed art book? I'm not even going to count the "collector's box" since there's nothing special about a freakin' cardboard box (unless you're Solid Snake or a cat).
Since nothing in this version enhances the game you're buying, do you really need all of this extra dust-catching shit? Since they're going to manufacture a metric fuckton of these, they won't really be "limited". When you get tired of all this plastic crap sitting around taking space you won't get much for it because there will still be lots of them out there for anyone who wants them. Right now on Amazon, I can buy sealed, new, copies of GOW3 Epic Edition (X360) and Skyrim Collector's Edition (PS3) for under their original MSRP.
That's $69.99 you could used to buy a complete other game. Conversely, you could take a third of that and buy the Season Pass and ensure you actually get more content for the game.
why is everyone going crazy over this? there were many other games that had a similar amount of editions EG: SR4 and nobody said anything
Saints row 4 had the
Standard edition
Empror Zinyak Game of the generation edition
super dangerous wub wub edition
presidential edition
commander in chief edition
platinum edition
Season Pass
