I was sad. Not complaining sad, but sad nonetheless.
You're absolutely right though - I think this gen, companies have really realized that they can make a killing on the "collector" community and are taking advantage (wherever and however possible) of that fact. Between the $250 Titanfall Collectors edition (set president for this gen CEs I think), the "exclusivity wars" with these CEs we see now, the crazy "limited LIMITED edition" guide craze with Prima, and more, I think word is out that there's money to be had on our backs... like I saw another poster post here recently though, I think it'll hit a hard wall when collector's start being more selective in what they get due to high supply and low bank accounts.
But yeah, I anticipate us seeing a lot more of this "platform exclusive" content (physical or otherwise) as Microsoft attempts to swing more people over to their side.
