It always bothers me when early adapters get shafted. I pre-ordered Gears2 and paid $50+ and have not purchased the $30 or so of add on maps and they are now releasing the platinum edition for $19.99 that includes all the maps BUT said maps continue to sell on marketplace for the same price. Thanks Microsoft for showing how you really feel about those that buy games on launch date! You have now joined Ubisoft in the ranks of bargin bin or 4gitaboutit. The smartest move Bungie could make would be to offer the Sargent Johnson skin only to those that pre-ordered the game, knowing that in a year or so it will be selling for $30-$40 but those that pre-ordered got something unique for their $60. It's that kind of value added incentive that inspires folks to be repeat customers.
