The Season pass tends to be fairly pointless though as theres heaps of extra content that most people ignore. The SP DLCs should be included and that's it.

I don't have to be qualified to recognize someone who is a hoarder as opposed to a collector. Its fairly obvious.

Either way, take away the season pass from the Big Ben edition and you have a much more affordable edition. Over $200 for an edition of a game is just silly considering you can download the game for about $30AUD. Its blatant upselling. The game itself should be the focus, it should be the most valuable component of an edition. Its a shame to see Ubisoft adopting this mentality of maximizing profits at the cost of customer loyalty. Shame, shame.
But by including the season pass instead of $60 more of trinkets it is making it about the game...
You said yourself you're aware of Ubisoft making a bigger edition exclusive to their store, notice that they aren't still stocked because people bought them, you included.
By your logic we should be asking why pay $30 when you can pirate the game, or just steal a copy off the shelf of a store, we don't need to encourage them by actually buying their game? If you don't want to spend $200+ on an edition, then don't, wait til the resellers buy them and sell them for double, that way you can be twice as outraged at the price, and we can hear all about it again.

If the contents interest you, but you hate the price, find someone who actually wants to buy the season pass and sell it to them. This is my last post concerning this, I've said all I really want to.

On a semi related topic, has anyone successfully claimed the Uplay 20% voucher, and used it? I claimed on Thursday and still haven't received it and would like to know how long it takes to receive.
