[quote name='bigdaddybruce44']bojay, I realize that you may never, ever understand this concept, but please try: not everyone buys games to sell them or seal them away in a vault. Some of us actually buy the stuff simply to enjoy it. We don't care if a game is not going to go up in value. It's funny that you always question why some of us are here. Why are you here? It's Cheap Ass Gamer...not a site about collecting crap.[/QUOTE]
Yes, and you always clearly miss the point. The whole reason all these stupid MSRP threads keep getting posted is because some people argue that the game will go up in value or somehow make MSRP a deal. If you took the time to read what I was responding to, it was the OP claiming that everyone should preorder because the gold controller will be rare and valuable. I disagree and to me, paying $50 for the game and another $20 for the controller is straight up MSRP and not appropriate for posting here. The game hasn't even been reviewed, it's not even by the same development team as the original, there hasn't been a great James Bond game in I don't know how long and yet everyone is just assuming it will be great. That's completely foolish. Everytime they want to sell us another crappy James Bond game, it seems like the developer tries to claim it is somehow a spiritual Goldeneye successor or created by some developer that has some tenuous relationship to the original game. This game just happens to have the name and maybe some of the design elements. Will that make it great where others have failed? Who knows.
If the game drops in price or the controller becomes less than $20 in the bundle, it does seem like it would be a deal, like in the Monster Hunter bundle. I agree with you that this isn't a site about collecting crap. There are plenty of other sites for that. There are also a ton of video game news sites and sites that just post release dates. Heck, there are even subforums here where all this MSRP discussion would fit well. This specific deal forum should be for posting deals, not for garbage speculation about what might be valuable and things that are clearly MSRP.
