Yeah I hear ya barkin big dog!
I used to be so happy with my AC limited edition USA CE... Until I saw what places all around the world (errrr...UK) got. It really did a wallop on my pride and my wallet. But with so many things to "collect" for so many games I've had to put a limit on which franchises, and to what extent I can collect them. Used to be just a "gold cartridge" on release day (never even knew gray ones existed for years), but now it's gone crazy!!
And yes, remember me fondly if you win the lottery - even 1% will do just fine!
