That pricing was really different from over here.
It looks like they changed it in the US for the time between the announcement and release, since it's back down now.

It wasn't jacked up when I bought it, so I was mistaken about that :eng101:
[QUOTE=ashxu;51272626]They REMOVED legendary edition from Steam and are pushing the bundle so you couldn't essentially get a discount when the new version came out.[/QUOTE]
You realize Legendary Edition was just a bundle with a fancy name in the first place right?

They migrated it to a bundle when steam rolled it out because it was more consumer friendly?
I can't remember how it used to be though, would it be like "you already own one item in this package, so if you buy this (at a static cost) you won't get an extra of (whatever you already own[base game, some dlc])"
Compare it to a adaptive price based on what you already own
I'm a little unsure about the processes, but if that was indeed the case the idea of the bundle is better, until such time the value items/overall cost is manipulated with
[QUOTE=Cushie;51275077]Kinda peeved that there seemed to be very little time before release for news of the 'elgibility requirements' to spread, and no way to 'upgrade' your existing game...I only found out about this right after it was too late, so rather than paying £8 for the 1 expansion I didn't have, I need to pay 3.5x more if I want it. They really should have included this information in the original announcement so it spread alongside it rather than an announcement that a lot of news sites didnt pick up until within 1-2 days of it coming out. Guess I'll be sticking to modded Skyrim and waiting for this to be heavily discounted in like a year... *EDIT* Nevermind, apparently some sites did actually say way back when that you'd need to have all of the DLC to get it for free. Still though, I'm not sure if they actually expect people who were only missing 1-2 DLC to pay full whack for the game again.[/QUOTE] They announced requirements on twitter the night of the first trailer, the steam page for Skyrim had the announcement and pricing the next day, and between then and now Skyrim+dlc went on sale for 75% off.
so when can I buy The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 1.5 Legendary Special Definitive Edition Ultimate Gold
Haha XD lol !!!
You all are really stupid if you think that this game was supposed to cater towards PC. It is mainly just so Beth can cash in on the whole "remaster" a game to put it on current gen consoles so we can make more money off your nostalgia
The original deus ex HR, after the directors cut they offered a significant discount to existing HR owners.. but after an undisclosed amount of time they secretly removed the discount and I can't even get Missing Link anymore without spending a bunch of money on the directors cut. Reminds me of that.

Always regret spending $60 on that game
People are never satisfied with anything these days. Damn if you and damn if you don't.
honestly this shouldve been closer to $30 tops for ps4 and xbone

i know theyre texhnically last gen at this point, but shit, the mass effect trilogy collection, god of war collection, ico and shadow of the colossus, the tomb raider collection for ps4/360 were all cheaper than this, and those included multiple full games too. kingdom hearts 1 and 2 remastered for ps3 were/are still like $25 for new copies. personally i blame the last of us remaster
