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.

How about instead of including $60 worth of more trinkets, don't include ANYTHING more?
A statue, a map, a lithograph, a flask and a few other small goodies, WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED? They're called collector's editions for a reason. Adding an OPTIONAL DLC at rrp (season pass) is simply price gouging. The season pass should be a CHOICE for people who still want the nicest COLLECTIBLES, not have it forced on them. You could argue its not forced on them as you could simply buy the Charing Cross edition (but why settle for cheaper collectibles just because you don't want to pay for an OPTIONAL DLC that is not required to get the full game experience?).

Your logic is completely flawed. The reason you pay $30 is so you support the DEVELOPERS of the game so they can continue making Assassin's Creed games. THAT'S WHY. The only thing you're supporting by shelling over $150 for extras is increasing price for future editions (noticed the price has climbed steadily over the last 3-4 years?).

The resellers who buy the collector's editions and sell them for double are people like yourself who place more value on scarcity than actual quality. What makes you even think for a moment I would pay double, let alone the current asking price for a collector's edition for a game that has not even been released yet? I didn't think the Unity collector's edition was worth the money but bought it based on previous high scores for Assassin's Creed games. I EXPECTED a HIGHLY POLISHED PC game, and got the exact opposite for the first time in Assassin's Creed history. Unity was a complete flop upon release and has received by far the worst scores of any Assassin's Creed game. Suffice to say, I am very worried about the quality of Syndicate upon release if recent history is anything to go by. Sure Ubisoft more or less fixed the game via patches, but releasing a substandard game after people paid over $150 for it is COMPLETELY unacceptable and the reviews reflect my sentiments:

Yes, 2.3 out of 10.

I am sorry, but your logic is completely and utterly flawed and just because you've decided to blindly heap praise on a company that as of late, does not deserve it, doesn't make your arguments valid.
