Re: Day One Limited & Special Editions - Worthless after day one?
I think they're just desperate to get you to pay full price for the game by giving early adopters an incentive, rather than lose a sale to people who prefer to wait a few weeks and pick up a used copy for half the price
The publishers and developers hate people who buy pre-owned, and this is one way they can guarantee sales on day one, and also continue to make a profit from those who buy used or a standard edition as they will have to pay extra if they want the DLC
Personally, I believe they should distribute "Day One" vouchers alongside a new copy of a standard edition which entitles the buyer to free DLC. When these vouchers are gone, they're gone. Anyone else wanting the same DLC after that can still get it, albeit for a fee on XBLA / PSN, rather than miss out on edition specific DLC which has an expiry date
