Premier Edition Pricing

[shiner980]

So I went to pre-order RA3 Premier Edition, because the feature set sounds a bit like the BFME2 preorder or some limited edition of a console game and assumed that it would run for $60. The Gamestop employee showed me the computer screen and Premier Edition is apparently $65. I may be nitpicking and all, but I'm curious; what justifies the additional $5 that I need to plunk down? The soundtrack? The metal case? I mean I'd think very differently if EA was offering a model like the Tesla Trooper model that came with the RA2 special edition (I'd pay a bit more xD). So do tell, is it really necessary to charge the additional $5 for what I'd normally see at this price range maybe 2 years ago?

Well, I broke it down like this, 50 game for the game, 10 for the copy of Red Alert 2, and 5 for the extras.

One problem....Premier Edition doesn't come with Red Alert 2....You're confusing the pre-order special with the Premier Edition content. Now I pose this question again, why plunk down $5 more from most limited/collector's editions?

Wait a minute, than what did I.
I had pre ordered the game in Feburary, and then switched the the Premier Edition two days ago.
This means I'm not getting red alert 2 then? Well, not like it matters, I already have Red Alert 1 and 2, I was just going to give the second copy to my friend.

Well, let me look through the Premier Edition things and I'll get back to you.

Interesting...

Tiberium maybe?

[Zardac the Great]

Except that's not C&C Tiberium. It's just Tiberium.

It could be...but I'm thinking no.

Generals 2 perhaps. I've heard rumors about that one. And it just seems a little too soon for C&C 4.

[apple23]

Definitely too soon for CNC4, and I got a bad feeling that they won't make another generals game (just a hunch; I could be wrong)

And yeah, I believe that TIBERIUM will be a CNC game, considering it is based on the CNC universe.
