Thats one of the dumbest things I've read in a while. Nobody is forced to buy the collectors edition and the $59.99 is still cheaper than nintendo games in there prime($80.00 for Bart vs The World brand new from Kmart).
God this is stupid, while they may have a point with the Tony Hawk game and guitar hero periphierials MW2 doesn't need to be included since there is a basic copy anyway.
On a side note, I don't get all the hoopla with the bigger editions anyway. I have no need for COD1 as I will have MW2 and have already played that enough anyway. No need for night vision goggles since I rarely have the need to go sneaking around at night. The only appealing thing was the artbook which has since been leaked to the internet.
