[quote name='DarkZero104']if i wasn't convinced Skyrim CE and Gears Epic Edition would both drop a ton i'd probably jump on both as a collector and/or a reseller. but both at $150 even after 1 is 50% off just ain't worth it.[/QUOTE]
I feel like Skyrim has *some* chance of retaining value, at least in the immediate future: 1) New Elder Scrolls games don't come out too often. We had an entire GoW trilogy, a number of Halos, and a ton of ACs since Oblivion. 2) I think the Dragon Statue and 200 page artbook are big draws to people who don't necessarily want the whole package right now. Six months down the road, some might think..."Hey, I can afford that stuff now. Might as well get it." 3) RPGs don't tend to drop in price as quickly as action games. Somehow I doubt retailers will ever drop the price on Skyrim's Collectors Edition. Might just sell out eventually after this month's sales...and that'll be that.
So...I'm torn. Think I could use one copy of Skyrim CE to subsidize the other. Or perhaps both CEs could subsidize a free standard copy? Hmmm...
