THIS. they could have EASILY released as dlc if space was the only problem, lol.

haters always lie to make 360 look bad. plus, i guarantee this will not be more than 3 discs on the 360. the others were 19.1gb or so, and now they can put 7.5gb per disc, so all the dlc (being around 1.5gb) will fit.

I have purchased all the DLC and have every achievement in the game.

THIS (too)! only full game i've taken the time to get 1400/1400 on achievement score. great game. this new edition is crap, as buying everything seperately is WAY cheaper!

You paid $60 for the opportunity to play the game at release, there is no reason to be mad now. Can't you buy the Rockstar pass everyone is mentioning?

I'm upset (shouldn't have used mad earlier) because the game came out just five months ago. I'm fine with paying $60 for a game on release day, but what's the point if everyone who doesn't gets more content at a cheaper price without having to wait very long? I understand that prices get cheaper, but a price drop with additional content so early after the game is released screws over people who wanted to support the game when it was first released.

I am currently playing this game (I believe I am about half way) and I must say, I haven't really enjoyed it much yet. Even this isn't really a good deal. I would wait for this to be <30 before picking it up.

It's basically reverse Grand Theft Auto. Idk, it's ultimately up to you guys but I have to say it wasn't worth the 60 I paid for it plus the 10 dollar DLC pass.

If you are undecided, wait for a better price.

I'd love for a developer to say "Incomplete Edition!" on day one just to rub it in. "Now with 80% game, $59.99!"

Like you said, games get cheaper over time. The only surprise is that Rockstar is taking the time to put (what would normally be at this point) a $40 game and a $10 DLC code in a $50 MSRP box. This package is nothing that couldn't be had for the same total cost months ago for anyone who kept a close eye on the available deals.

You and the retailer agreed on a price when you bought it, and you enjoyed having it earlier than most other people. Just because the publisher decided to drop the price and add more content to entice more buyers doesn't mean you got screwed. I will still wait for the game to get even cheaper, but I always run the risk that a game might go OOP and get hard to find with that strategy. If that happens I'm not getting screwed, I just made that choice. That isn't going to happen with this game, but it happened with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition.

This.

Thanks OP. It pays to wait. I'll probably keep waiting until this version is like $20, but I'll play this game eventually.

I was about to buy the vanilla version at Family Video for $20. If the DLC is on disc I'll definitley be waiting for this to drop.

Finally coming out for PC eh? Good thing I never bought it, I can wait!

I saw this official reply on the R* news comments:

Thanks all, can't answer all questions but we are glad you're excited for the Complete Edition, all DLC will be included on the disc, and the PC version releases a week prior to 360/PS3, stay tuned

@ErnestoRock Ha, enjoy

Me personally I got the game for $25 during the whole toys r us 2 for $50 fiasco, and the pass for $10. So $35 isn't too shabby.

Thanks!

This means I will probably be picking this up next March/April when it starts dropping in price.

This was one of my favorite games of the last few years. I'm Glad I held off on getting the DLC. I suppose no GOTY Edition, but this is the same thing. Totally worth, in my opinion. NOTE: PC Version will come out a week before the console versions

I was hoping that they'd include the former-PS3 exclusive case.

QFT - it's more like 60% of a game now-a-days

Does anyone know if you can just get the DLC from the disc (like the Fallout 3 add-ons)??

What's supposed to be the deal here? An over hyped game at MSRP is all I see. You can buy this game for about $20 used and I wouldn't be surprised to see $15 within a month.

i wish people understood this when i was griping about my (after tax) $270 3DS purchase, then it's $170 + tax 4.5 months later .

shows how much they appreciate the downsincedayone gamers, unfortunately!

Surprising. I guess the release will be 4 discs then.

Nintendo appreciated early 3DS adopters well enough to give them 20 free games, though. Sure, that's not the same as an additional $100 in your pocket, but hey, at least it's something. I wish that practice was the norm. Plus you can tell people that you're an "ambassador" now!

Originally Posted by Coltin This is starting to get really old. This and Marvel Vs Capcom are both comIng out in the same year as their original games.

One of the many reasons I think the Game industry is just hurting itself with these delayed roll out of a total package, and why I continue to put off purchasing titles far further in the future. It's like if you bought a car and they first sold you the outer package and then later down the line decided you need features like seat belts or lights.

And in all honestly, I remember how I was constantly derided on this board for my comments on the fact that Capcom was going to re-release Marvel. A lot of people were quite adamant over the fact that Capcom "promised" not to release a complete copy and would only do DLC

I mean, I could give him the main game and we could just share the DLC disc or install it like how Borderlands and Fallout 3 worked.

A disc only DLC could have made sense, I guess. I did end up buying undead nightmare, but only because it was truly ridiculously cheap. What was the DLC that you could only play by buying the RDR Complete copy?

I don't like buying DLC because eventually it's going to be gone. The server could get taken down or your code could expire or you redeemed it too many times or whatever. You also can't trade/resell DLC. Ever tried selling a vanilla copy of a game once the GOTY version came out? It's like trying to resell a sports title.

I doubt I'll buy many/any new titles on day one ever again. I'm not hurting, my backlog is epic. The only two games I might bother purchasing anytime soon are this LA Noire and definitely Fallout NV Ultimate Edition or whatever they're calling it.
