I Want To Be Happy
Actually, as pointed out in other threads, that $80 MSRP was given to Gamestop by Namco Bandai directly. And the European version, which includes the signed art and parchment letter, costs the equivalent of about $96 US.Why not? we can stay sure that will not cost around 100 dollars for the simple reason that will not have any figure or special thing for make it more expensive,the aditional content is just paper printed, the signature don't worth the same if is not hand made like those with drawings! that they gived to Kayane and remember we ever get aditional free things when we pre-order a game and this is not the exeption but anyway we don't have the official data from Namco yet, we just have this web from i get the price http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/soulcalibur-v/91096 so let's make that question to Daishi for star to save money :)
“Free stuff” with a preorder usually means just downloadable CAS or something equally trivial. Never a combination of OST, DVD, full color art book, large packaging, etc. etc. That stuff costs money to make, and more importantly, people will pay extra for it. The entire purpose of a CE is to boost revenue by giving dedicated fans more junk to buy.
It doesn’t matter, $80 is a totally fair price by my standards and I will be preordering ASAP. I’m only mildly jealous I don’t get the parchment “letter of thanks” (yes I’m a total sap that way), but considering the $16 premium for it, I can gladly do without.
